NEW: Virginia Gov. Spanberger has restored the voting rights of more than 66,000 people who were formerly convicted of felonies. It's a stunning reversal of the felony disenfranchisement under prior Gov. Youngkin, who restored less than 10,000 people's voting rights across his entire 4-year term.

The difference between the previous Republican governor and the new Democratic governor is pretty stark. One is in favor of voting rights for people formerly convicted of felonies and the other one not so much.
