Good old McAwful is pulling out all the stops and desperate to get the black vote locked up. Today's rant was there are too many white teachers here in VA.

Were you cheating off my ballot?

Of course! Melanin has been proven to increase teaching ability.

I can't wait til the day these assholes stop judging everyone by their skin color.

I went at 3 PM and there was only four people present to vote. The DemoRats had a table outside handing out sample ballots.

I didn't have a mask but they had paper ones available.

Why won’t he recognize that there are too many white male candidates and step aside?

Back to the Hurst thing for a moment...

Seems the local PD handed the case over to Virginia State Police. VSP says it "can only investigate an elected official at the authorization of the Attorney General."

Isn't that convenient?

The dark side of me wonders whether local police handed it off because they knew a) it would be a hot potato and they wanted free of it, or b) that VSP would essentially bury it [by way of a Dem AG]?

I would like to see where that is written in "The Code of Virginia".

I thought that was "while in session" not the rest of the year. That's to keep the VSP from improperly being used to limit a delegate's engagement in official activities.

I'll admit I don't know the law, but I'd like to see this publicized and investigated properly. There's SO much wrong about that whole situation.

I know Gary Settle personally and he’s a piece of shit. He’ll do everything he can to help a democrat weasel their way out of trouble.

Virginia Elections Official Responds to Reports of Maskless Voters Being Turned Away From Polls

https://www.theepochtimes.com/...Od6o9S4cBnYYsV0UhO9u

After the Virginia GOP and others claimed that voters in Virginia were told they would be prohibited from entering polling locations if they don’t wear a mask, Virginia Department of Elections Commissioner Chris Piper wrote on Tuesday that election workers cannot mandate masks as a requirement to vote.

“We have gotten several reports of voters either being turned away or being made to wait until the polling place is clear before being allowed to vote if they refuse to wear a mask,” Piper said in an email to other poll workers, posted online by Republican Party lawyer Harmeet K. Dhillon and former Trump campaign lawyer Jenna Ellis

“You may not turn voters away because they are not wearing masks,” Piper continued. “While masks are encouraged, every eligible voter is entitled to cast a ballot at their polling place,” he continued, adding: “It is not sufficient to offer curbside voting as an alternative.”

Citing state law, Piper said curbside voting is only available to individuals aged 65 and older or those with a disability. The Epoch Times could not immediately confirm the authenticity of Piper’s email to his staff.

Earlier in the day, the Virginia GOP said it received reports of voters who were told by election workers to wear a mask before entering polling locations.

“To be clear,” the Republican Party wrote,” if someone is not wearing a face-covering they may NOT be turned away or refused their right to vote.”

The Virginia GOP did not elaborate on the details, including the polling locations that allegedly refused voters who weren’t wearing masks.

“Masks are NOT required to vote. There is no mask mandate in Virginia,” the party also said.

American Conservative Union Chairman Matt Schlapp, whose organization heads the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), wrote on Twitter that he was told that Virginia voters would be turned away if they showed up without a mask.

“I was told at my polling station I couldn’t vote without a mask. Knowing what the GOP thinks about masks, isn’t this just an illegal barrier to voting? But I can count on one thing our judges will do nothing,” he tweeted.

Schlapp told the Washington Examiner that he cast his ballot at George Mason Elementary School in Alexandria, adding that he “couldn’t enter the school” to vote unless he wore a mask.

In October 2020, Piper told the Virginia Mercury that the state cannot prohibit anyone from entering a polling location over mask mandates.

“If voters do not have a mask they will be asked to wear one and possible could be offered a mask if there are extra and be offered the opportunity to vote curbside,” Piper said at the time “Ultimately, a voter will not be turned away if they are not wearing a mask but the department strongly encourages them to do so to keep themselves and others around them safe.”

According to Virginia state law, it is illegal to “hinder or delay a qualified voter in entering or leaving a polling place,” a misdemeanor carrying a fine of up to $2,500 or up to one year in jail.

The Virginia state GOP hasn’t immediately responded to a request for comment. The Virginia Department of Elections didn’t return multiple requests for comment.

GOOD!
We need to stop this BS from happening. On another note in watching the MSM it seems that a few are hedging their bets and showing Youngkin with a lead in the exit polls but who knows…

Nope, it's just that great minds think alike.

What amazes me is that Loudin county seems to be going for McAulif! I thought they were all up in arms over this douche bag and his promotion of critical race bullshit?

A little less than 1/2 reported and so far Younkin is up 57%-42%

That will evaporate when they count mail-in votes, there is no way it will end up a landslide.

Also, NYT somehow has more current info than a VA.Gov website?

Totally normal.

You guys absolutely live to be dismissive and cynical.

It wears me out to see the constant neysaying.

Can’t we be hopeful until we can’t be?

Never said he was going to lose, just that it won't be a landslide victory. If you lived here, you'd know a landslide is not possible.

PS I'd love to eat my words and see a landslide.
