Voter Registration Requirements
 

Reference the Virigina Constittuion Article II and VA Code § 24.2-418 the current requirements of the registration application are codified.  I see no reason to change the form other than to aid a partisan push to open our elections to greater fraud.  Those who use the word "disenfrachisement" as a reason to lessen voter verification and identificatoin are simply regurgitating partisan political talking points for an agenda that welcomes fraud.  Because of this obvious attempt to maniipulate our elections we need stricter verfication and identification not less.  Some will feel that the changes are subtle and some even helpful but that is part of manipulation and slippery slopes.  Currently our national propensity is to ignore law and use bureaucratic regulatory bodies to do end runs around current law and legislative bodies.  This disturbing practice is neutering Constitutions, Federal Code, State Code, and most importantly legislative bodies.  It concerns me greatly how our Federal and State Legislatures have ceded authority to the bureaucracy.  This is NOT how our Representative Republic should serve the people.  I do not support the proposed changes.
