Thanks to Richard Winger of Ballot Access news for this post.
On Saturday, January 30,2016, the Virginia Republican Party said it no longer wants polling place officials to ask voters on March 1, 2016, who want a Republican Presidential Primary ballot to sign that they consider themselves members of the party.
“We unanimously voted to rescind it,” John Whitbeck, Chairman of the Republican Party of Virginia, said after a meeting of the State Central Committee.
But the primary is only a month away, and some absentee ballots have already been cast with the sign-in requirement in place.
The State Board of Elections must figure out what changing the voter instructions means for ballots that have been cast.
“The board will have to take action,” said Edgardo Cortes, Director of the Virginia Department of Elections. “We are trying to do that as expeditiously as possible.”
