The issue is that this election never should have happened. It should have been blocked by the Virginia Supreme Court for violating Virginia constitutional procedures

But the judges did not agree with your assumptions and they let it go through. So now we have the election because they didn’t feel like it should be blocked that the voter should vote on it not them.

The scheduled vote ignored our constitution process in Virginia. The judges did not rule on that constitutional violation and said they would deal with it after April 21st.

This vote should not be occurring right now and our students should be in school tomorrow.

Those areas are already used — in addition to the schools. My assigned polling place is one of the Fairfax County Rec Centers.
