WASHINGTON (CBS News) - Following the news that Virginia governor Terry McAuliffe issued an executive order allowing over 200,000 ex-felons to vote in this year's election, Face the Nation host, John Dickerson asked the only remaining governor in this year's race, Gov. John Kasich, if he would consider the same in Ohio.

"I have not really considered this issue. I'd have to look at the pros and cons," Kasich responded, but added, "Whenever people want to turn their lives around, I'm one that believes in it."
