Those mistakes follow even more error-riddled effort in Southwest Virginia, where an additional 30,000 voters were affected. Some notices in that part of the state were sent to physical addresses instead of P.O. boxes, then re-sent to the boxes but with the wrong information, theAnd earlier this month, the department disclosed that an unspecified technical glitch had left about 107,000 voter applications in limbo for months.
Fairfax County Democratic Committee Chair Bryan Graham suggested Youngkin’s hectic political travel schedule might be to blame. A potential 2024 presidential candidate, Youngkin has sought to raise his national profile by stumping for GOP gubernatorial candidates in about a dozen states, including some who embrace former president Donald Trump’s false claim that the 2020 election was stolen.
“It is disappointing that the Party now in charge of administering our elections is so woefully incompetent at managing something as simple as a voter information mailer,” Graham said in a written statement. “Instead of gallivanting across the country for election conspiracy theorists, Gov. Youngkin should be in the state he was elected to serve in order to lead his Administration in fulfilling their duties to the people of the Commonwealth.
“The Department of Elections will cease its relationship with the printing vendor and will explore all legal remedies,” it said.In Southwest Virginia, the errors affected voters in the cities of Bristol and Norton as well as Amherst, Buchanan, Dickenson, Grayson, Lee, Russell, Scott, Tazewell, Washington and Wise counties. Corrected notices have been sent to all voters there, state officials said.
They know what they are doing.
They know what they are doing.
What the gourd!!
It was never about election integrity and MSM need to stop using GOP propaganda words!
Dirty GOP!😡
HC_Richardson Woah
HC_Richardson GOP: 'Why...Bless their little hearts...poor things...we can't ima...agine how tha-at happened!'
Lee_in_Iowa Like that wasn’t deliberate. Let me guess, a democratic district led astray?
Federal investigators might not be far behind.
delong_jackie VA voters, if you filed an update or application to register to vote, CHECK YOUR REGISTRATION NOW! If you learn your registration wasn't processed, or were sent to wrong location to vote, contact your local registration office. Use a provisional ballot. Every vote is important!
MomRovin If you need directions on how to F yourself ask a Virginia voter!
mackeysasser Is there any solace here in how quickly the mistake was discovered, without too much damage being done that can’t be undone, fingers crossed? That they have to do it so openly might mean the other more clandestine ways aren’t working as well as they’d hoped.
HC_Richardson Couldn’t be a accident
reader2105 Nerve rattling to say the least. Fight on Democrats.
Let me guess .. affects red votes.
This is no more than voter suppression. Throw all kinds of crap at them so they just give up .
Already starting the election was stolen narrative.
Elect a fascist you get fascism.
Should be a bigger story...
Coupled with the voting snafu in Georgia, it’s hard not to see this as a conspiracy.
Us this part of GOP's voters suppression antics ?
So much for a Governor who is only using Virginia to get to higher political offices
Until Trump faces consequences for his blatant crime spree fascists will be emboldened to commit crimes out in the open, what do they have to fear at this point?
Stay woke people!
Oh, that couldn't be an innocent mistake, could it now?
This is a feature, not a bug, in a gop run state.
Why does it matter where you vote?
Please people pay attention. Some people will do anything to win except the right thing!
There’s only one party that cheats and commits voter fraud. That’s the GQP. GovernorVA.
🤨
I'm not paying to read the details. You all lie, constantly.
Not by accident, I’ll be bound 🤬
R antics all around the country and in Congress manifest Justice Roberts’ Luddite views on voting rights and campaign finance! Naive at best. Wrong regardless. Won’t change until SCOTUS changes.
Hey, Youngkin, where’s your tweet apologizing and taking responsibility for this? I receive multiple self-laudatory tweets per day from you. Or are you too busy campaigning for election deniers around the country?
No shit! They put a republican in charge and didn’t think this would happen? It’s just the beginning. The midterms will be riddled with this crap. Fraud,lies,chaos. These are the leaders they’ve chosen 😡
And the Washinton Post provides biased and misleading stories daily to its 953,000 subscribers each snd every day.
And so it begins
And let me guess, these voters were in a predominantly POC county…?
the election should already be thrown out and redone…especially if republicans win any state race. Isn’t that how republicans would play the cards The people responsible should be criminally charged, starting with the governor. Buck stops with him, that’s if he’s in the state
Because we are pro Trump
Next up: VA charges 60,000 with voter fraud for voting at wrong polling place.
Well the FBI and DOJCivil DOJ are asleep at the wheel, nobody is stopping them 😡
Will Youngkins son be voting again
What a surprise
Fix it.
ablnk WTH?
And in the end, they just count some votes and ignore the CHEATING., both sides for their own selfish reasons.cult/klan,republs -cheating to win, is normal, Dems.- just want it to 'appear', peaceful and fair
Traitors
Already interfering with a honest fair practice of voting
👆Cheating is how they plan to win.
wtf? how did this happen?
Sounds like an excuse trump would use. I call BS!
The Virginia Elections Board is, as you might expect, headed by a Democrat. Are Democrats totally incapable of running elections. For decades elections ran smoothly (on a single day) and results were known and announced the same evening as the election. Not anymore.
Republican dirty tricks in full view.
Wow!!! That’s just horrible😡
Wtf this is not a mistake this is intentional subterfuge.
TerryWatkinsJr1 Dear WaPo, It wasn't an error. It was intentional.
Youngkin interfering in our voting process. Republicans can’t win if they don’t cheat.
Lee Zeldin did it twice in 2 elections in New York.. Each time he said ooops! It’s a Republican thing!
The horror 😳
Of course they did
Same thing happening in AZ
Glen Younkin’s Virginia. Same old Republican playbook.
I’m sure that’s just a technical error that no one in the GOP totally approved.
KamalaHarris can you have your staff make some calls? Are they going to get away with this? You are a former AG. Let’s Get it! We’d like to see you in the fight!
And now here. Where is the framing that hints at blame for this travesty? What? Cat caught your tongue? Your headline generator has a selective conscience.
CivilRights KristenClarkeJD FBI
VOTER FRAUD!!!!
The Republicans know that they can't win if they don't cheat. Everyone everywhere needs to be extra vigilant between now and election day to make sure that they can't tamper with any of the moving parts that ensure a FAIR election. And EVERYONE needs to vote in this one. EVERYONE
Youngkin's first election in charge is going exactly how people should expect them to go with Republicans in charge going forward. How much you want to bet the voters are from mostly Democrat areas? NoVa certainly is. I'm not sure about the Southwest area it refers to.
And just last year, GovernorVA ’s son committed voter fraud
Hold the Governor responsible!
TrumpubliQans KNOW they can’t win straight elections. They need to cheat
The problem is that Republicans know that they can never win in free and fair elections. So they cheat in any manner possible.
Undoubtedly done by the deplorables. Like the subhuman masquerading as their Governor.
States that don't hold proper, free and honest elections should be held accountable Federally
On purpose...
Shithole states, gonna shithole!
Of course. Election fraud to Democrats is like masturbation to lonely horny men
Whoever did it should be found out and arrested and served jail time
Deliberately trying to rig this election. We must not allow this to stand.
MahsaAmini
Surprise
🤦♀️
WHY would anyone ❤ this, pathetic...
This should NOT be allowed to happen in the US!
Yup incompetence governance courtesy of GovernorVA and vaELECT
Vote blue and save America!
