Changes to Voting Regulations
 

I find the recent proposed actions of VA Elections officials to be unAmerican and destructive to democratic freedom. My family and I believe these changes are intended to prevent fair elections; these changes represent political desperation to deliberately hold back the representation of  diverse groups.

There is clear research data to show that fraudulent voting is almost non-existent, thus this and other recent voting changes are partisan causes.  I am insulted by limits imposed to reduce the number of voting days!  Likewise requirements to document residencies or even birth certificates are evil techniques that pollute the elections.

Arrests should be made upon election officials and self-appointed challengers who deter and complicate the exercise of free elections. State representatives who participate in these changes should be fired. This is an evil cause!
