What kind of citizens?
 

Folks! We are all being taken for a ride!

First, if you have to check the 'Are you a US citizen?' box, are not you voting in a state election under 'federal' jurisdictional?

That is, if we had a real separation between 'federal' and state, and we were voting in an exclusively Virginia state election, the voting registration form would have to ask: "Are you a Virginia citizen?"  It clearly doesn't. (Every wonder why the Washington government has so much to say over state elections? Hum?)

Next, ask yourself why does Governor McAuliffe want to eliminate the 'Are you a US citizen?' question?  Maybe the reason is ... because it is superfluous to the system of government government we are now operating under (unibody merged federal/state-10 Federal Regions-Metropolitan Areas on the way to North American/Trans-Alantic Union). 

Until we get back to arguing over basics like authentic organic constitutional government, and a legitimate separation between federal and state (old definitions thereof), IT AIN'T GOING TO MATTER WHAT BOX YOU CHECK.

I am probably wasting my breath here, but maybe someone will 'get it.'
