Dem AG's election crusade against Trump runs into embarrassing dead-felon blunder back home

President Donald Trump and his election security efforts were a central target in Virginia Democratic Attorney General Jay Jones' rollout of a "Voter Protection" unit, but Republican critics say the announcement overlooked voting- rights controversies unfolding in his own backyard.

Jones formed the Voter Protection Section on Tuesday to enforce state voting-rights laws as Virginia faces scrutiny over restoration letters sent to deceased felons amid Gov. Abigail Spanberger's restoration of voting rights to more than 66,000 Virginians.
