Voter registration changes
 

What is the rationale for changing a form that has worked properly for years?  There appears to be only one motivation for such a change - fraud. 

Does the constitution of Virginia state that only properly vetted voters would be allowed to vote?  Of course it does. 

Then why would we alllow changes that open the door to deception?  There appears to be only one motivation for such a change - fraud.

There are better ways to win elections than voter fraud.  It has to do with ideas.  There is no idea backing this terrible attempt to manipulate elections other than fraud that attempts to guarantee one party power and control.

The vote should be 3 to 0 unless there are those on the board who believe potential misuse of the voter registration is acceptable.

This does not solve a problem that needs a solution; this creates opportunity for manipulation of the election process that should remain as honorable as possible.

If there is any possibility of voter tampering, it should not be allowed.  The new form allows just that.  If you cannot will fair and square, you should not win at all.

Don't change the voter registration form!
