VA Dems Want Last Minute Voting Rule Change

Virginia's gubernatorial contest between Republican Glenn Youngkin and Democrat Terry McAuliffe clearly has supporters of the latter worried.

Sure enough, the Democrat-dominated Fairfax Board of Supervisors has asked Gov. Ralph Northam to waive the witness signature requirement that Virginia law stipulates for all absentee ballots.

Until last year, all absentee ballots cast in a Virginia election had to be signed by a witness confirming that the voter was indeed eligible to vote and legally registered.

Last year we expanded voting opportunities in the midst of the pandemic, as I stated before this county is still in a state of emergency, and we should be doing everything we can to make it as easy as possible for our residents to vote, regardless what of what other elected officials falsely say about elections in Virginia.

What's actually worrying McKay and other Virginia Democrats is the necessity of returning to normal election rules during a Governor's race in which their candidate appears to be floundering.

Terry McAuliffe is a Clinton consigliere with decades of political experience and was a relatively popular governor of Virginia prior to being succeeded by fellow Democrat Ralph Northam.

The most recent statewide polls show Youngkin breathing down McAuliffe's neck and the Cook Political Report has moved the Virginia contest from "Lean Democratic" to "Toss-up." Even more telling is the desperate tone of McAuliffe's fundraising requests.
