Virginia bill seeks joint governor ticket similar to president and VP
A Republican lawmaker Del. Mark Cole proposes amending the Virginia constitution to let governor and lieutenant governor run on a shared ticket. If approved by 2003 2004 legislatures and voter approval in November 2004 the plan would reduce statewide races. Analysts question voter appetite and potential loss of independent attorney general, while supporters say it could strengthen governor lieutenant governor collaboration.
