VA Dems Want Last Minute Voting Rule Change
American Spectator ^ | October 10, 2021 | DAVID CATRON

Posted on 10/11/2021 4:56:27 PM PDT by Mount Athos

The Democrat-dominated Fairfax Board of Supervisors has asked Gov. Ralph Northam to waive the witness signature requirement that Virginia law stipulates for all absentee ballots. Board Chairman Jeffrey McKay insists that the waiver is necessary due to the threat of COVID-19, yet cases are declining.

The New York Times reported Sunday that Virginia’s cases and hospitalizations have declined 17 and 14 percent respectively during the past two weeks. Moreover, Virginia’s state of emergency expired June 30 as did the numerous executive orders Gov. Northam issued pursuant to the pandemic. The sole Republican member of the Fairfax board, Pat Herrity, voted against asking Northam to issue such an extraordinary waiver, pointing out that voting has already been underway for three weeks: “To do this in the middle of an election process in the name of COVID is nonsensical.” He also emphasized election integrity: “Witness signatures are important as they provide another line of defense against voter fraud.”

Until last year, all absentee ballots cast in a Virginia election had to be signed by a witness confirming that the voter was indeed eligible to vote and legally registered. This long standing statute was temporarily suspended during the 2020 general election pursuant to concerns about the spread of COVID-19.

Voting has already started in VA, according to a caller on Fredericks’ show. Now they’re changing the rules?

If there is one thing which the scamdeic has taught Americans it is that governors have far too much power.

This was one of the last stop gaps before outright fraud in Virginia. At least until now they had to work at it.

Here comes the real election.

If it is enacted, the GOP cannot win.

Not surprising at all. I read earlier today that Stacey Abrams was up there, helping the Dems with their campaign. This is 100% Stacey’s modus operandi. She pulled exactly the same crap in Georgia. And got away with it.

The VA. Dems need this to pass in order for Dominion to throw the election to the Dem side.

Clarification: the crap Stacey pulled in Georgia was the “last minute” voting changes. Not specifically covid-related.

They don’t have tohide any of it now that they have corrupted the courts and the attornies general around the country. They know that no prosecutions are happening for their treason so they just do it openly now.

How do you steal elections if you have to prove the votes are from voters?

That way you can have people vote without even knowing they voted! Untrackable, untraceable.

SOLUTION: Every Republican and EVERY voting place in VA must challenge EVERY absentee ballot that has no signature.

Yeah, it’ll gum up the works - as well it should.

If you cannot verify the chain of custody, the vote should not count.

ALL republicans must STAY in position until ALL votes are counted, and keep eyes on.
