Va. Right-Wing Republicans Introduce Bills Making It Harder to Vote, Go to the Bathroom

There were two godawful bills introduced today in the Virginia General Assembly. Not surprisingly, both came from right-wing Republican members: 1) from Del. Mark Cole, requiring “proof of citizenship” to vote in state and local elections (why???); 2) cracking down on that scourge of transgender kids heeding the call of nature (that one comes from our old pal “Sideshow Bob” Marshall, who also has legislation to declare pornography a “public health hazard.” Check them out below. Also, make sure we do NOT allow Republicans to win the Governor’s mansion in 2017; for now, we have Gov. McAuliffe to veto crap like this, but if we have Gov. Gillespie or Gov. Stewart or whatever, watch out.
