Virginia does not have early voting. In ‘98 they allowed in-person absentee voting, but only with a qualified excuse, such as disabled, out of state, emergency worker with a long shift, etc. This year it is only through the mail.

Newbie, this is absolutely totally false. VA does have early in person absentee ballot voting.

How do I know? I am a poll observer at a poll and have already voted. In-person absentee voting is up in VA. Reps are much more motivated and they are showing up in greater numbers than ever before. The GOP has a major effort to get out the in-person absentee ballots that heretofore has been dominated by the Dems.

We are telling our folks not to use the mail in ballots that can be too easily invalidated on a techincality.

STOP SPREADING THIS FALSEHOOD. IT IS AN OUTRIGHT LIE, NEWBIE.

You are full of crap. No early voting in VA other than mail in absentee and you need a valid excuse. You stop spreading lies.

I’m in an exurb of Wash DC out in VA. I will be voting early (as I have done before). It’s just a matter of showing up, showing ID, voting. No big deal
