Republicans plan to sue VA Gov. McAuliffe over order restoring rights to felons | 02 May 2016 | Republican leaders in the Virginia General Assembly have hired a top conservative lawyer to guide an expected lawsuit against Gov. Terry McAuliffe's executive order that restored voting rights for about 206,000 felons. Charles J. Cooper – a former assistant attorney general under President Ronald Reagan who once was named “Republican lawyer of the year” – will lead the effort to challenge the Democratic governor's order, GOP leaders announced Monday. McAuliffe has said he has the legal and constitutional authority to restore voting and civil rights for all felons who had completed their sentences, probation and parole by April 22.
