I serve as an election officer in VA. It has always bothered me that the employees of the Electoral Board (vs those of us who only serve on election days) seem not to worry about details like citizenship.

At a training session for the “new” photo ID requirement I asked about registration requirements and how easy it is for people not eligible to vote to get registered. Basically, I was told it’s “not my job.” Well, whose job at the registrars’ offices is it?

My particular grievance here in VA is that so many students from the northeast, New England, NY, NJ come to VA’s universities. In presidential elections their votes aren’t needed at their solid blue-state homes, so they registered in what’s been a red, then purple, state, to tilt the scales in their favor. Theoretically, they are not legally registering here as they are NOT residents of VA, only transients as students. Doesn’t stop them.

They're more concerned about removing all the statues of Virginia's sons who served in the Confederacy.

Operation Chaos!

They should be voting absentee in their home state.
