We are getting reports of calls to Virginia voters falsely saying that their polling place has changed.

If you receive a call:
Confirm your polling place at https://t.co/3NmwdTvoHb

Report it to @ACLUVA at 804-644-8080
#ElectionDay #vagov


Also seeing reports of full parking lots, but very short voting lines.

Voter suppression attempts, gotta love it.


That second part is awesome! I wonder why no one thought of it before. It's so amazingly simple.


I told myself I was going to stop being so aggressive and confrontational Im these topics, so this is me being calm.

Can you PLEASE not act vocally giddy about reports of actions that, if true, represent underhanded tactics designed to screw American citizens out of their right to choose their own representation? I know you hate the Patriots and all the allegations of cheating, so please dont support cheating in politics, which ACTUALLY affects peoples lives and can negatively impact them without their voice being heard.


How is it cheating?

It's pretty dirty, (like having the lead of less than 6 on offense and making multiple offensive penalties to kill clock...) but it's totally not cheating. Just like killing the clock while driving it's probably dirty, but absolutely great strategy.


Voter suppression in general is cheating. How would you feel if I arbitrarily had the power to deny you a voice in decisions that affect your life? Our democracy is founded on the idea that the people have a say in choosing their elected officials and this is yet another example of taking peoples rights away.


The FIRST part is voter suppression, and while it was brilliant, it was also illegal. You didn't see me praising the phone scam did you? If that happens report them and get them arrested. That would be like deflating football.

The second part isn't remotely voter suppression. You aren't making it so someone can't vote, or can't find a place to vote and gives up.

You are giving the illusion that the line is incredibly long, and if they don't think their vote is worth time that's on them. The Dems actually can do this too. We just are usually more passionate about voting. Dems don't go out in the rain in large numbers for this.
