Lot of bloggers asserting they are legal experts now.
The Virginia Board of Elections is responsible for implementing the law. Their letter to candidates, sent back in May, said they needed the addresses. So if the addresses weren’t needed, that was an error by the Virginia state government, not some plot by the RPV.
But the forms and the direction haven’t changed, so they’ve been requiring signatures for some time now. Which gets back to the question of whether they verified these before or not. But it’s not really a question of “violating the code of virginia”, because it’s Virginia government insisting that the addresses are needed.
Thank you for the reply
First the blogger I linked to happens to also write for a paper (or did) so he is not “just a blogger” like me
Second (and I ask because I am trying to sort this out I am not PMS’ing on you)so what you are saying is the RPV is above the “Code of Virginia” and can ask for something that is not in the Code (like their letter stating they want addresses)?
Third if the Code of Virginia is wrong in what is has, it is still the Code correct?
I know that we lost a RPV volunteer to a horrible car accident so I am not trying to disrespect what RPV says but I still do not get how they can ask for (and that is the “law” over Virginia code)for something that right or wrongly is not in the Code.............
