Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger's effort to restore voting rights to convicted felons is facing criticism following the discovery of a citation addressed to 'Betty No Last Name.' The citation suggests a lack of proper review in the restoration process, as it does not include a last name. This issue has emerged ahead of a November 3 ballot measure that aims to make voting rights restoration automatic upon release from prison. Critics, including former Attorney General Jason Miyares, are calling for an independent audit of the process amid reports of citations sent to deceased individuals.
