Good stuff from Gov. Northam and, of course, the Democratic-controlled Virginia General Assembly, which has moved aggressively and appropriately to *expand* people’s access to the ballot box. That, of course, is in *stark* contrast to Republican-controlled states, and to most of Virginia’s Republican statewide candidates, who have gone all-in on Trump’s Big Lie regarding supposed voting “irregularities”/”fraud”/blah blah, and also on suppressing people’s – particularly people of color’s – right to vote. Yet again, there is a massive difference between Democrats and Republicans, just in case anyone ever claims otherwise…
As many states move to limit access to the ballot box, we’re expanding it.
To the companies who want to take a real stand against voter suppression—we'd love to welcome you to Virginia.pic.twitter.com/V3NiySwfJ5
