The 17-year-old son of Virginia Gov.-elect Glenn Youngkin attempted to cast a ballot twice on Election Day despite being too young to vote, local elections officials said on Friday.
Youngkins son, who is not being named because he is a minor, tried unsuccessfully to vote at a polling place in Great Falls, Va., which was not the assigned voting location for his home address, officials told News4, an NBC News television affiliate in Washington, D.C.
Election workers turned the teen away after they determined he was ineligible to vote, Fairfax County election officials said. He returned 30 minutes later and requested another ballot before being turned away again, News4 reported.
The Fairfax County Office of Elections told News4 it was investigating the incident but noted that it's unclear whether any laws were broken since the teen presented proper identification and did not end up casting a vote.

In 2016 I got a TFG supporter arrested for trying to vote twice but the grand jury no billed this asshole

(46,192 posts)2. How did the kid figure he'd get away with it?
1. He's under the minimum age of 18, allowing him to vote.
2. Because he was under 18, he wouldn't have been registered.
3. He didn't try just once, but twice to unlawfully cast a ballot.
4. And because he wasn't registered, there's no way the poll workers would have given him a provisional ballot to cast.
5. I'd say there was a law broken: Attempted Voter Fraud.
