  This is a power of the governor
If true (I haven't read the VA constitution), it's totally unprecedented to restore voting rights for everyone in a class with no regard to the facts of individual cases. The partisan motive is obvious.

The facts of the individual cases are factored into the conviction and sentencing. Once the prison term is served, the person can return to society. This is a fundamental concept of our system of justice.

The truly disturbing idea is that voting rights are removed in the first place.
