VA usually gets pragmatic, kitchen table issue, non-culture war, boring, business friendly moderates in key state offices. Like Kaine and Warner. Youngkin makes the whole state look bad.

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.

That rule applies to eligible citizens.

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

I dunno— how many times do I need to repost the text of the NVRA which says states may not engage in systematic efforts to remove “ineligible voters” from the voter list.

Of course if you know someone that s not eligible you can remove them but the entire point is that for a systematic purge often the registrars know the opposite— that the person is a citizen— but they purged anyway because their name looks similar to someone else’s name or something.

In 2020, I was sent a ballot from DC after I moved out of the city and had registered to vote in another state. I sold my property in DC so the city government knew I was not a resident any longer. They mailed an unsolicited mail in ballot to my new address.

I wonder how many of those went out. I’m sure I wasn’t the only one given the chance to vote twice.

The same thing happened to me. I moved from Montgomery County, Md. to Loudoun County, Va. in 2015. My husband and I both registered to vote in Virginia within a few weeks of moving. We kept the house in Maryland until early 2018, but did not live there and never claimed to do so. Our old house was rented out, and had tenants living in it until September of 2017. In 2016, I received a mail-in ballot from Maryland, at my Virginia address which I threw away. I never requested one, and voted in person on election day in Loudoun County, but like you, I could have voted twice.

President Biden address this already, very early in his term. It’s right in a White House transcript. The problem is, as the president explained, blacks and other minorities often don’t have access to the internet or don’t know how to get a drivers license. So it’s unfair to require a drivers license to vote. Biden explained it all already.

Only a racist asshat would truly believe that black people don't know how to gain access, or use the internet. Let alone knowing how to get a drivers license.

Do you even hear yourself? No wonder that black people are starting to leave the democratic party. geez.

Thank you! I was shaking my head in disbelief when I read that “black people don’t know how to get a license.” That’s called racism of low expectations, a form of bigotry that disguises itself as concern and kindness, but is actually a patronising and dangerous attitude that assumes certain people are capable of less because of their race or background. One of my best friends is from Ethiopia, and I know exactly how she will react when I show her that statement. Sadly, she has encountered similar reactions from so-called progressives many times in the past.

Gore campaign was arguing in court that their voters would have more trouble filling out ballots and wanted to be declared the winner off statistical calculations.

And yet the Supreme Court disagreed. As pointed out above, Virginia argues that your reading of NVRA would prevent them from removing non-citizens at any time.

If this actually happened it’s crazy. This woman was the principal at MVCS in Del Ray and now is at Claremont Elementary in Arlington. She says after handing her license to the poll worker in Fairfax at an early polling site on Thursday, the worker said she needed to prove citizenship and asked for documentation that proved it. When the woman inquired as to why and the supervisor got involved the worker said because the license had an R for restriction on it.

I have one of those on my license too, it means I can only drive with corrected lenses (glasses). If you flip the license over it says what the restriction is for on the back. So when the supervisor flipped the license over, it had same thing as my Virginia license (reaction - corrected lenses). There is no restriction for not being a citizen? WITW?

Poll worker was fired.

There are a lot of stupid people out there and apparently they are now becoming poll workers.

The Supreme court didn’t issue a merits decision and didn’t explain it’s thinking at all but if you read the NVRA it’s quite clear you can remove ineligible voters at any time if you have individualized evidence they are ineligible.
