Voter Registration Form
 

Virginia laws relating to form completion requirements of the Voter Registration Form are clear and specific, exist via a well established democratic legislative process, and are intended to protect the integrity of the voting rights and privileges in VA.  Changes to this form proposed by the VA Governor and the Board of Elections add another level of unwarranted ambiguity as to who is actually voting potentially permitting illegals and felons to illegally cast votes.  

Virginia should do everything in its power to follow existing laws and not relax requirements on the Voter Registration Form which may lead to unintended consequences.   Voting is a coveted privliege of Virginia citizenship and our safeguards for protecting the integrity of the voting process in Virginia, by whatever means, should not be relaxed even in the slightest dimension, but rather strengthened .
