Democratic Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe vetoed a bill that would require investigations of jurisdictions in the state whose voter rolls contain more registered voters than citizens who are eligible to vote.

The bill, first introduced by Republican state Sen. Mark D. Obenshain, was prompted by a report that shed light on eight Virginia counties that had more registered voters on their voter rolls than eligible voters.






quote:

McAuliffe, who vetoed the bill on Friday, claimed that the bill "would increase the administrative burden on local election officials" in his veto statement.

"By requiring 133 individual general registrars to conduct an investigation of voters under undefined standards, this bill raises serious constitutional questions," McAuliffe said in a statement. "It could expose eligible and properly registered Virginians to the risk of improper disenfranchisement."






Democrats have gone full Ole Miss. If you ain't cheating you ain't trying.

Good lord. I hope the people of Virginia don't accept this convoluted reasoning.

I can see the democrats' argument about not requiring ID to vote (if I squint real hard, and operate on the belief that all people are good and honest), but I completely fail to see how a refusal to even investigate cases like this can be justified.

What is the definition of voter disenfranchisement in the context of voting?

I see it used a lot and it seems like a a word that some civil rights person used years ago and now is a buzz word that means "racist."

If there is wrongdoing and there is an investigation, how is anyone being disenfranchised? As long as proper investigative procedures are followed and no rights are violated, how is ANY type of investigation wrong?

It seems that the left thinks that voters are so delicate that any pressure, from ID requires to potential investigations, will cause the whole house of cards to tumble.

Exactly. McAuliffe was just throwing words together without any intent to establish cognizant meaning. It was just mindless gibberish.

Nice false analogy


Can that 10k be registered in multiple states?
Bannon and Mnuchin committed fraud for being registered in multiple states?

I understand opposing voter ID if the ID is not free. Bc otherwise it's a poll tax. That's the only reason I can think of.

It certainly suggest an investigation may be in order. Hopefully without disenfranachiing the lawfully registered voters of the state.

And I don't disagree


Trying to say it's proven voter fraud is pretty dumb

should this be investigated by the government? or taken care of in a normal, administrative fashion?

That's OK. Trump's people will handle this for Terry McCuckliffe.

Spend that $10k that's not supposed to be there and see how false it is.

How come legal voters are not considered disenfranchised when illegal votes are cast? It seems to me for every illegal vote cast a legal vote is disenfranchised.

I think just as much attention should be paid to this argument as the other, in fact more, these people took the time and effort to register properly.

They should be outraged and demand full disclosure of what took place in voting districts across their state.

I approve of the way you established the disenfranchised aspect from the lawfully registered voters POV. Mcauliffe used the word as a smokescreen.

When flimsy pretexts like this are used to pass bills that wrongly deprive Americans of their right to vote.
