U.S. District Court Refuses to Enjoin New Virginia Law that Requires Parties that Nominate by Convention to Make Provision for Absentee Voting

On July 30, U.S. District Court Judge Norman Moon, a Clinton appointee, issued an opinion in Lynchburg Republican City Committee v Virginia Department of Elections, w.d., 6:25cv-29. The city of Lynchburg’s Republican Party had sued to stop a new law that requires parties that nominate by convention to make provision for absentee voting for people who cannot attend the convention. The judge wrote that the case is not yet ripe for a decision. The specific state rules have not yet been set out, and the judge felt the case must wait until there is greater clarity about whether the law will prove burdensome.

  1. No. Parties, like businesses, church’s, families, individual’s, and any type of social organizations must exist to serve the State. Only in partnership with the State as the hub of all these spokes can the wheel have purpose or harmonious and efficient function. That certainly includes the Party.

  2. @WZ,

    Could a Virginia political party invite residents of Maryland to vote in its primaries? Should that be up to each party?

  3. Yes. Why not? They can let cockroaches race up a wall or roll the dice if they want. The only thing they shouldn’t be able to do is use government money or government employees for anything to do with however they decide who to run/endorse/nominate.

  4. Some state libertarian parties can and do let out of staters vote at their state nomination conventions, and or serve as their state’s delegates at national nomination conventions. Their party, their rules.

  5. NOO extremist party hack caucuses / primaries / conventions for public office nominations – PON.

    PON via nom pets / filing fees — ONE Election Day

  6. That’s a fake AZ which is probably not even from Arizona. The real AZ (Arizona) voted for Trump 3 times but the 2nd time was stolen,just like the country as a whole.

    Thankfully, Peacemaker and Liberator Trump is making peace all over the world and rolling back the dictators like Xi and puppet dictators like Quisling Cho Bai-Din.
