The tech problem is the connection btn VDOT and ELECT's VERIS. It is NOT a new problem. What is new: inexperience at ELECT. Why did these registrations grow another 149,000 w/o notice? B/C an experienced, non-partisan, well-regarded commissioner was fired due to populist claptrap https://t.co/Zj5ka6uxJA
Thanks @pwcdanica you have many followers! The bill also authorizes drop boxes and gives voters opportunity to fix a non material mistake on the absentee ballot. Everyones vote counts! https://t.co/Pw713Qfv3j
They told us that it was written poorly and that it would legalize polygamy! So-called Christians said that! Catholic priests are in opposition, of course. 7 House Rs voted for the same language last year. Btm line: they know they would lose big at the polls. https://t.co/aQk86hdvJe

Don’t be ridiculous Senator. On the off chance that every Virginia home cannot get broadband by 2024 w/this $700 million, we have plenty of Rescue Plan funding prudently left to finish up. Why don’t you thank your U.S. Democratic delegation for providing these resources? Not 1 R! https://t.co/srnDXmk6JI
