This wasn’t a vote, it was a petition. I have never heard any conservative complain about “too many” people being on a ballot. We support freedom and free choice, not elites making our decisions for us. Sticking up for what the Virginia Republican party is doing is about as unconservative a position as I can think of.
If you are registered at 1717 ImADingbat Lane, in Prarieville, Virginia, and you sign a petition and list your address as 113 WhistlingDixie Boulevard, in Outback, Virginia, how is someone to know you’re the right Lester P. Voter?
Well, they can’t. It’s my understanding that this is what the Virginia Republican Party clamped down on.
If you can explain to me that the tactics used were different than this, then perhaps I’ll agree with you.
Until you or someone else does so, I’m going to back the Republican party of Virginia.
If Romney and Paul could get their names on the ballot, why couldn’t the others? Answer, they could.
Validating names and addresses is sound policy.
