If the current requirement to check the existing boxes on voter registration forms to declare citizenship status, mental capacity and felony status is ended, it seems pretty obvious that the intention is to allow non-citizens, the mentally incapacitated and felons to register and vote.  What other purpose could there possibly be?  The fact that presently, applicants who fail to check the boxes are notified about their omission and given another chance to check the appropriate boxes on the form shows that every attempt is made to allow qualified applicants to register.  This reminds me of the Governor's directive to remove the box on applications for employment with state government that asks if one were ever convicted of a felony.  The Commonwealth was not prevented from hiring felons if they wanted to, but at least they would know upfront who they were dealing with, especially if they were hired to work for the state Treasury or state income tax department!  Please do not change the voter registration application form to make it easier for non-citizens, the mentally incapacited or felons to vote.  This change would be a wide-open invitation for voter fraud. Nothing is more important to our freedom in America than the integrity of the vote.  As it stands there are already many who unknowingly register to vote at DMV offices, declaring that they are U.S. citizens even when they are not, because they may not be able to read the form, or just sign on the wrong line, and no proof of citizenship is required to apply to vote!  The Governor does not have the authority to change the Virginia Constitution nor the Code of Virginia, on his own.  Such a change would require action of the legislature.  The Governor should be aware of this requirement as he took an Oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
