EDIT: See @AnimePhantasm comment below! My friend called the election board and they confirmed what @AnimePhantasm and @fmstrat commented! This was Virginia reusing last year’s envelopes.
OP I am an absentee voter in Blacksburg just next door. Shine a light on the blacked out part. I am 99% sure this is legit, they just crossed out the witness requirement. I can see the word witness under the sharpie in your picture. Virgina doesnt have to do that witness thing anymore. We did at the last general election, so I am guessing they just reused the same envelopes. You should call and ask your elections office before alerting the news. They are hardworking folks whose jobs are already 100 times harder then they used to be. Stirring up reports of election fraud where it isn’t happening makes us just as bad as them.
You might see if you can get this to the Meidas Touch guys too. They could help research and amplify this to the national media
Ughhhhhhhhh. Sorry, but I need to rant.
Those fuckers are so fucking sensationalist. They use the same simple-mined tactics as right-wing propaganda mills. A 20 minute video of theirs could be condensed into 5 without those tactics and actually do far more to push forward their “law based coverage”.
I quickly put them in the “not worth the sensationalist propaganda” bucket after watching a handful of their videos
Isn’t the whole point int this case to make a sensation?
They all are like that. They all use heavy clickbait titles to get attention to their videos, and those titles have a tenuous at best relationship with the actual topic, which they all blow way out of proportion and act as if this will finally be the thing that brings down Trump. These are the ones who the right refer to as having “Trum Derangement Syndrome”, as they post daily videos that are almost exclusively about Trump, while peddling products that you can tell they’ve never used or even heard of in their lives by the way they read the script.
Don’t get me wrong. The information they give is at least truthful (exaggerated, but truthful) and the products they’re shilling are actual products and not crypto scams or something, which puts them far ahead of Trump’s supporters. But they’re still basically grifting and trying to ride the Trump train as long and as hard as they can, as I don’t know what half of them are going to do once Trump is actually out of the public eye.
