State's Rights Debate on Virginia Democratic Ballot Pledge
The article explains a proposed bill giving the Virginia Democratic State Convention power to direct electors in the Electoral College. Electors would pledge to support national convention nominees unless the state convention overrides, aiming to ensure alignment with state sovereignty. It argues the bill would clarify ballots for voters in November.
Virginia Electors Bill Aims At Voter Clarity On Ballots
The proposed measure would require the State Board of Elections to receive names of party ticket candidates and a statement of election instructions 30 days before a general election. The board would publish the statement to inform voters which candidate each ticket supports, aligning with practices in ten states. The speaker argues the bill preserves moral obligations of electors and does not ban any party from the ballot.
