So when a woman of color does it she goes to jail, but when it's the governor's white son it's just a fun prank?


Here is a clue:

The women actually cast ballots.


How was she registered if she wasn’t eligible?


So you can end up in jail if you end up with the wrong poll worker?

She wasn't on the voter rolls, and instead cast a provisional ballot with the help of a poll worker. Local officials determined she was ineligible due to her 2011 tax fraud conviction, and her ballot was not counted. Prosecutors later charged her with knowingly voting illegally.

Texas' ballot asks voters to certify that they have completed any felony sentences — including supervision — to vote. Mason testified in court that she did not know she was ineligible and did not read the fine print because an election worker was helping her with the provisional ballot.



Ignorance of the law is not a defense. Youngkin's kid did not manage to vote. Had someone let him vote or helped him vote, he could be charged. I guess election officials are of a higher caliber in Virginia. That's unfortunate for Virginia?


No, it’s unfortunate for the women spending four years in jail for the same behavior.

The election official in Texas should be held accountable for improper guidance.


I am sure they have qualified immunity.


So people can end up in jail by trusting election officials? And the official won’t be held accountable?

That is fcked up.


Sort of. If your passenger tells you the speed limit is 55 and you are pulled over for driving 55 in a 25, who is at fault? Your passenger?


Passenger? No. The election official was an authority.

Maybe - a traffic cop waves you on to go even though the intersection isn’t clear but you can’t see that from where you are.



The staff at the polling place have no special training in election law. Why would you take legal advice from them?


They would have been trained on provisional ballots.

In that scenario, she would see the official as an expert and authority on how to complete the form. The worker helped her with it but skipped over the fine print.


The poll worker forced her to skip the fine print or wouldn't let her read the fine print?


She was following the election official’s direction.

After being denied to vote, wouldn't he have called his dad to ask about it?

Whatever happened to that kid in his 20s or 30s whose dad was a Congressman from Virginia(Moran?) who tried to help out Project Veritas when they asked how to do vote fraud?

UVA! Same as Tucker Carlsons two little C students who drag down any class discussion. One has graduated and the other is over 21 if you want to complain about dragging a public figure’s child.

The school this kid attends should be embarrassed that he doesn’t understand basic election law. Georgetown Prep?

How on earth would you know where he's going to college? Oh right - you don't. You just sound incredibly vile, talking about kids you don't even know.

He's right - leave his family alone, especially his minor child. And who is Ally Sammarco and why should we care?

Funny when it’s a white teen. Deadly when it’s a teen of color.

How is he right? Who the heck is confused about the voting age? And especially a family that is in politics???

Do you truly believe the kid didn't know? Did you notice Youngkin didn't address the fact that his kid when back to try to vote after being told he couldn't?

This is either about low intelligence or willful cynicism. The first one may be excusable but it's more likely to be the latter case, which speaks very poorly of Youngkin family values.

Agree.


+1000


Then get off the thread. It’s actually ludicrous to say this shouldn’t be discussed here. There is literally no basis for it. You realize minors are discussed all the time….and this one did something Fing dumb and obnoxious as hell.


There is a thread hundreds of pages long about a Loudoun County boy accused of sexually assaulting classmates, including some bizarre speculation about whether he might wear skirts to gain access to the girls bathroom. Of course we talk about minors here all the time.


Has his name been released?


The right wing media published photos of his mother anyway.

This is the kid that Youngkin raised and he is going to tell the citizens of Virginia how to improve education???

He is a dumba$$ who has raised a dumba$$. Youngkin isn't going to tell me how to raise my kid. He is incompetent.

Because he didn't actually vote or lie, and committed no crime? We get that you're outraged, but why are you so obtuse?
