[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apologies if this is embedded in the School Board threads, but this seems like a big thing:

Evidently 6 signatures on her campaign petition were invalid.

So, it looks like the School Board may be 11-1 after all.  The remaining candidate, Pinckney, is GOP-endorsed.

Total BS. The Office of Elections told her she qualified so she stopped collecting signatures. Then a right-wing NRA judge comes in and throws out a page months after her signatures were filed and after THOUSANDS of people have already voted for her.[/quote]

Sounds like the county Democrats in charge of the Office of Elections need to find more competent people.  And unless there's other election improprieties you have no idea how many votes for St. John-Cunning will get tossed.  [/quote]

Get your facts right. Dems are not in charge of the office of elections. The Board of Elections is led by Republicans because there is a Republican governor.[/quote]

The head of the county office of elections is Kate Hanley, a long-time Democrat, and it was the county board that appointed the registrar who told St. John-Cunning her screw-up was no big deal. [/quote]

In each county and city in Virginia, a three-member Electoral Board is responsible for the proper and orderly conduct of all elections held in their locality. This includes preparation of ballots, administration of absentee ballot provisions, the conduct of the election, and the ascertaining of the results of the election. The Electoral Board is also responsible for appointing a General Registrar/Director of Elections to a term of four years (Va. Code § 24.2-109). Each year one member of the Electoral Board is selected for a three-year term by the Circuit Court from a list of recommendations submitted by the local political parties. Two of the members on the Electoral Board represent the political party that cast the highest number of votes at the last preceding gubernatorial election. The third member represents the party that received the next highest amount of votes (Va. Code §24.2-106).[/quote]
