Governor McAuliffe's proposed Executive Action on the 2015 Voter Registration Application form with his version of a undated form. The updated form is to allow illegal aliens and felons that don't have their rights to vote restored. The controversy is the ability of the registrants to choose whether they want to check a box stating whether or not they are: citizens, have a felony record, and have been judged mentally incapacitiated.
This new form is to allow non-citizens, felons and, those judged mentally incapacitated to register to vote and then to vote.
I do not want the Voter registration form changed. Voting is a privlege and a responsibility. The right to vote must be protected an limited to those that are legal citizens of Virginia and those who have not forgone that right by engaging in illegal actions. A voter also has the responsibility to be able to read and understand that upon which they are voting.
