I think it is sad that free wheeling voting is going on while in my precinct in Virginia I have to show my state ID and rattle off my address to get a paper ballot to fill little circles in to vote. The take the ballot over to a tally computer to aggregate the district votes. Pretty secure and verifiable ( easy to compare the paper records against the computer records when needed. It flys in the face of the Democratic Party tricks and helps keep a somewhat stable election process.
“I thought VA Governors can only serve 1 four-year term?”
Virginia limits Governors to non-consecutive terms with no lifetime limit.
What has usually happened in the past is governors served their term then went on to other things. Runs at U.S. Senate, business, whatever.
Since Virginia started public elections of Governors in 1851 only Mills Godwin has served two terms. His first was as a democrat from 1966-1970, then as a Republican from 1974-1978.
If it were a real election, Youngkin would be a shoo-in.

Me too. Just listening to him speak makes my skin crawl. The very definition of a carpetbagger. He makes sleazy hucksters look good in comparison. May he go down in flames this time.
I believe the state constitution prohibits two consecutive (or more terms) but is not so explicit about serving a second non-consecutive term. A loophole McAuliffe is exploiting.
I think Terry is running so he can run for President in 2024. He knows Biden can’t do it and Harris is unpopular. He can run as a governor instead of former governor
Don’t know as I vote in person and they check my ID.

I think you are right...
I’m in Virginia and I already have.
