Nashville Criminal Court Judge Angelita Dalton on Monday maintained her September order to restore the rights of four voters with prior felony convictions. Nashville Public Radio reports that attorneys for the state had appealed the ruling, citing a new rule that requires voters to restore their gun rights before their voting rights can be restored, which is often not possible with felony convictions. In her order, Dalton ruled that the state did not have standing to appeal the case, since Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk did not object to the original order.
