Wow. I couldn't disagree more. It's a great state to live in and I feel lucky to have him as our governor. Wish he could run for another term.

I hate the way you democrats game systems instead of following rules.

Oh you care about rules do you? What about the rule that you can’t purge voter rolls within 90 days before an election? Apparently you have double standards for who has to follow rules and which rules get followed. Typical hypocritical republican.

Also he’s a typical elected Republican who is trying to destroy democracy, aided and abetted by the fascists on the court.

Jeff posted misinformation when blogging about this thread.

Casting a provisional ballot on Election Day does NOT required bringing a U.S. passport, as Jeff stated in his blog post.

The truth is:

“Provisional Ballot Process for Voters Who Arrive Without Identification
A voter who arrives at the polling place without an acceptable form of identification or who refuses to sign an ID Confirmation Statement, will be given the opportunity to vote a provisional ballot. After completing the provisional ballot, the individual voting will be given written instructions from the election officials on how to submit a copy of his/her identification or sign and submit an ID Confirmation Statement so that his/her vote can be counted.

A voter will have until noon on the Friday following the election to deliver a copy of the identification or sign and submit an ID Confirmation Statement to the local electoral board. Voters may submit a copy of their ID of ID Confirmation Statement via fax, email, in-person submission, or through USPS or commercial delivery service. Please note that the copy of the ID or signed ID Confirmation Statement must be delivered to the electoral board by noon on the Friday following the election, or the provisional ballot cannot be counted. A Friday postmark will not be sufficient if either of these are not delivered to the electoral board by noon on Friday.

The written notice given to the voter will provide the necessary information, including email, fax, and address where the ID or ID Confirmation Statement should be delivered.”

I don’t think Jeff meant that she needed the passport to prove her citizenship. I think he was saying 1) she can do same day and 2) she can prove her citizenship (as she would have done if she had gotten the letter asking her to report to the registrar within 14 days as per her previous registration attempt.

You democrats are NOT democracy.

The experience I've had with family members in VA is that all these GOP attempts to control voting leads to older conservatives not being able to easily vote.

That rule applies to eligible citizens.

Jesus. How mamy times does this need to be restated?

I don’t know of older conservatives self declaring as not being citizens and then failing to follow up when notified by mail about the need to clarify.

The 90 day rule is irrelevant. Under the logic being used, non-citizens could not be removed 100 days prior either, under NVRA.

NVRA has no provision for removing voters because they are non-citizens.

This 90 day rule does not apply for removing non-citizens, or other people who are never eligible to vote.

They are contactef by mail TWICE and if they don't respond, they ate removed.

Yes, they did self identify as noncitizens.

You and I don’t seem to be speaking the same english language. Not checking something is not the same as affirming a statement.

“The right way to handle those is to contact them.” They did!!!

As a voter you have a responsibility to follow up when you make a registration mistake. They had two weeks to do so. And can still vote regardless up until Election Day.

This was a common sense decision by scotus.

I think this was the argument that persuaded the justices but we will have to see once the case moves it’s way up.

No such language exists in the law.
