Action | 2015 Voter Registration Application Regulation and Form Update |
Stage | Proposed |
Comment Period | Ended on 8/3/2015 |
What law authorizes the State Board of Elections to change the voter registration form to make US citizenship questions optional when both Article II, Section 2 of the Virginia Constitution AND Code of Virginia § 24.2-418 both state explicitly and clearly otherwise? What makes the SBE think that this activity cannot be viewed as a premeditated violation of state law, i.e., a crime? So then why have laws if nobody has to obey them?
I oppose these form changes as would any citizen who favors the rule of law. THESE CHANGES SHOULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED and should never even have been proposed.
