It appears he’s doing it “legally.”
It was “legally” done last time too. Until the Court said it was not. Let’s see if they’ll rule again.
He is not doing it legally. The court several times mentioned that a felon must ask to have his rights restored. None of these felons have done that. He is just granting rights restoration to anyone who registered to vote after his blanket restoration.
They need to petition for rights restoration before he can grant restoration. They have not done so. These orders will not stand either, but at least the orders will be public documents and will have the names of the persons restored on them. Wait for the news stories and the lawsuits over who they are.
