    A ridiculous ruling, but fortunately Virginia has same-day registration. So if you show up to vote and find you’ve been purged, you can immediately re-register.

      Will the poll workers volunteer that info or do you just have to know? I found out just a week ago that Texas will let you vote without an ID but you have to provide proof of residency, sign an attestation that says you can’t reasonable acquire an ID, and you can fill out a provisional ballot.

        …and then they’ll throw it out.

          If the burden of proof is on the voter, most likely, then yeah, it pretty much won’t get counted. If you could’ve proved it in the first place you probably would’ve just had an ID.

      That’s neat, and it leaves me wondering why they even have voter registration ahead of time? I guess it saves time at the polls.

    easiest way to fix this would be to stop making voting a state by state thing

    as it stands now voting registration is done by the state and not recorded federally so a person in the US who holds multiple state identifications and addressees could be signed up to vote in more than one state since no nationwide log is done just state by state ones

      Maybe that’s easy from a certain perspective, but passing the required constitutional amendment would be anything but.

      That would require several changes to the Constitution, which is not going to happen any time soon.

    Oh look there’s Glenn “moderate republican” Youngkin pulling straight from Trump’s fascist playbook. Too bad it’s not going to make VA go red.

    Remember this when Youngkin tries to run for president.

    They’re not even trying to hide the fact that they’re going to steal this election. Even if Harris somehow won 400 EVs, I’m convinced that SCOTUS would find a way to throw out enough votes to give Trump the win (even if it’s just by throwing the election to the House).
