Cole (VA-ALEC) - Still Pushing Voter ID



Veteran Republican Delegate Mark Cole isn't happy with Virginia's non-photo voter ID law and he plans to introduce legislation to fix it as the legislature in Richmond comes back into session this week. You would think he would leave well enough alone since the U.S. Department of Justice approved the state's existing voter ID law last August, the only such law to pass federal scrutiny under the Voting Rights Act in 2012.

But noooo.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Not ALEC Again??????
Not Voter ID again???? 
The American Legislative Exchange Council still pushing voter ID - Noooooooooo??



YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!

Pennsylvania resident Colin Small was arrested Thursday after he was caught illegally destroying voter registration forms in Virginia. Smalls worked for a firm hired by the Republican Party of Virginia to register voters, but was spotted throwing away 8 voter registration forms in a dumpster on Monday, the deadline for registering to vote in Virginia.

Probably not.
