Federal law requires that no state law can place more of a burden on any member of the military than anyone else when it comes to facilitation of their votes. Students applying for an absentee ballot in Virginia are not required to have a witness address. Based on that fact alone, these ballots are valid.
Arlington and Norfolk VA counties are counting ALL of the ballots, witness address or not. Fairfax County registrar and Democrat activist Suleman appears to be alone--so far--in requiring the witness address.
Where is that information on the federal law?
