For protecting the personal information and voting rights of the people of Virginia.

3. No one should help Kobach suppress the vote

4. I hope all states weigh in; leave our info alone!

Infuriating to me.

5. Ok, There is no Difference crowd.

Do you see the fucking difference between a Democrat in power and a republican in power now?

6. I love what McAuliffe had to say about it..

"McAuliffe said in a statement there’s no evidence of significant voter fraud in Virginia, and “the only irregularity in the 2016 presidential election centered around Russian tampering.”

“At best this commission was set up as a pretext to validate Donald Trump’s alternative election facts, and at worst is a tool to commit large-scale voter suppression,” McAuliffe said."

13. The only thing missing

is reference to the other irregularity in the 2016 election, i.e. voter disenfranchisement via Interstate Crosscheck as practiced by Kobach and his stooges in GOPee-run states.

The Democratic party needs to be more forthright in acknowledging what happened.

8. Strange, isn't it?

While we were ruminating and commenting on Trump's disgusting tweet this morning, we find out this letter was released requesting voter registration info on all voters in the country. And who but Kris Kobach, the Wizard of Crosscheck, just happens to be leading the charge? What a coincidence, a true coinky-dink.

Think it might be called the undermining of democracy. But that's just me.

9. "Hey Donald, we're about to hijack democracy. Quick, say something stupid!" Trump: "Way ahead of U"

10. What happens when only Trump-voting states participate?

Clearly the only purpose of this “commission” is to suppress the vote in states that didn’t vote for Trump.

11. Strong statements! Well done!

They have set a standard for other states to follow.

Refuse to comply and force them to take it to court, which would offer the opportunity to get certain parties under oath and figure out what they are really up to.

12. Im really worried about the 48 SOSs that have not said a word.

We are so fucked.

14. He's been the best governor since I moved to VA.

Go Guv!

I hope Northam succeeds him and continues in the same vein.
