[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is VA so jacked up? They can't even get the ballot right. [/quote]

The problem (re: "witness required") is with the inner envelope that has to be used to send back the ballot. The problem isn't on the actual ballot.

Virginia had printed those envelopes well before it made the rule change that said we no longer had to have a witness. So it was too late to change what had been printed and which needed to be sent out to voters on the schedule required.

But that is an explanation and NOT an excuse. VA should have realized and resolved the witness-signature problem long ago--we've been in a pandemic since March and known an election was coming for years. No one, months and months ago, caught the fact that a required witness signature would be a problem and a discouragement to some voters? Arrrgh. Now voters ourselves have to spread the word. And it'll give this administration something to point to to sow the idea that the vote isn't legit. Just what we didn't need.

Spread the word.
