Carter pardon plan may extend to thousands of draft violators
President-elect Jimmy Carter aims to pardon about 9,321 indicted or convicted draft violators and an estimated 250,000 nonregistrants from the Vietnam era while excluding roughly 69,500 deserters. The plan, drafted by David Berg, could cover those abroad or who renounced citizenship, with legal questions about state disenfranchisement and the amnesty versus pardon distinction.
