You know that he's not going to face any repercussions from it. Why dwell on it and waste your energy on here going back and forth about it?!

Ummm yea that’s not how this works. We’re not all defeatists!

For the person that cited the law -- he did not vote. You have to vote to trigger that law.

There is no attempt crime for that law.

Attempting to commit a crime is a crime

Gotta have intent. If someone answered truthfully in this context, that’s the ballgame. Sorry.

No one was “outraged” at McAullife’s 21 year old daughter posed in front of the Lynchburg City Republican Committee office giving the finger and posted it all over Instagram.

Youngkin when asked said he didn’t have opinions on his opponent’s children and refused to comment further.

One is a crime, the other isn’t

actually what Youngkin's kid did was not illegal, dumb yes but illegal no. What McAullife's daughter did actually might be a class 1 misdemeanor. Take a law class my friend.

Giving the finger is a misdemeanor?

Yes.

Explain, please.

Because it is an "obscene gesture" and depending on the circumstances can qualify as a class 1 misdemeanor. Look I am neither here nor there on Terry or Youngkin's semi and full adult children and both sides seem super dumb to do what they each did. But remember in Virginia you can be charged with a crime for giving the finger, so just be careful next time someone cuts you off in traffic, don't flip the bird. I was surprised the woman on the bike who flipped off Trump a few years ago wasn't charged.

He went back again and asked to speak to the manager.

How has no one challenged that law on 1A grounds?

What an embarrassment this kid is.

"A 17yo kid who misunderstood Virginia law"? If I were the campaign spokesman, I would've at least tried to come up with a better excuse. Most 17yos as well-educated as Glenn's son know that you can't vote until 18 in this country. So either he's stupid or he was trying to break the law.

And maybe he was "just trying to test the system" and make sure voter fraud didn't exist. That's not appropriate. Not his place, not his job.

Test the system, assume it would fail, and post it all over social media. But it didn’t work so well.

1A is not an unlimited right. Hate speech is not permitted. The definition of hate speech is applied randomly depending on your political favor.

You can vote at 16 in Takoma Park local elections. Why don't you know this?

Dumb thing to do--probably curiosity to see what would happen.

Do people on here have any idea of what fraud is?

Pretending to be someone else.
Presenting falsified documents.

Do you really believe for a second that the kid thought he would be allowed to vote?

And, who reported this? I worked the polls as an election officer once. I don't recall making notes on who was asking to vote. Some people were at the wrong precinct and we helped them find the right one. There is a process for that. There is also a process for a provisional ballot. He did not fill out a provisional ballot. No fraud.

So you may want to understand the Virginia code; the specific facts of what happened in Lynchburg would be needed which we don’t have but what the daughter did could quality as a crime against peace and order under title 18.2. Where people inside the offices where the photos were taken? Any Republican employees in the parking lot who saw the gesture and photo taken? Also the publication of the photo on Instagram clearly shows the Republican office sign in the background, which adds another element of identifying to whom the gesture is directed.

You don’t have the right to give the middle finger directed specifically at someone in Virginia. It can be deemed an obscene gesture, threatening or “a threat”. People like to throw around the first amendment but it has limitations. I do know of people getting charged with this due when the gesture was made in traffic/ road rage.

He presented a valid ID. That’s not trying to cheat. LOL

“The young man presented identification but was ineligible to be registered due to his age “

So the system worked. And a child told the truth.

The feigned outrage here is breathtaking.

A child told the truth? I can't wait to hear who his 17 year old friend is that did get to vote because that's illegal and what he told them at the polling station when he demanded to be able to vote.

Only a defense attorney calls a 17 year old a “child”.

I expect a full investigation and criminal charges for this “friend”.
