[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yawn.  He did a dumb thing - but he didn't do anything illegal, as noted in the article.  He was probably trying to see if they were paying attention, which they were.  So that's a good thing.[/quote].

Uh, is this your spin? It wasn’t a good thing. It was illegal.[/quote]

Did you read the article? The Virginia code actually doesn’t cover the scenario of using a legitimate ID to vote but you’re underage or haven’t registered.  It’s not illegal.  But it won’t get you anywhere either, hence he was turned away.  [/quote]

Stupid teenager. But if he had gone in with a utility bill in a registered voters name anywhere in VA who was not going to vote [day of, early, or mail in] technically he could have voted. If a member of FCDC and underage or not a citizen he could vote for the FCDC non partisan FX school board endorsement. [/quote]

Well, he wasn’t registered to vote. So I don’t think a utility bill would work either.  He also probably doesn’t have a utility bill in his name. He is 17.[/quote]

Since photo gov ID is not required the utility bill would not have been in his name. It's a name and an address of a registered voter with no visual proof like a picture id that the person voting is the same person as on the utility bill.  https://www.elections.virginia.gov/media/training/Understanding-Acceptable-ID-Rules.pdf

If you don't have acceptable id then you can fill out a confirmation form and birthdate and last 4 of the social security number are optional. Refusing to sign that leads to a provisional ballot.

All of the above assumes each polling location has hard or online access to lists of actual registered voters.  But for 2022 Ayela's bill was signed by Raplhie Northam allowing same day registration.  https://www.princewilliamtimes.com/news/northam-signs-del-hala-ayala-s-bill-allowing-same-day-voter-registration-but-it-won/article_eb5bff76-80da-11ea-a069-77c7f613e4b6.html[/quote]
