There are several types of donations that may be legally made to political campaigns. Of course you can donate cash, but there is a second type of donation – in-kind. Now the value of volunteer work is exempt, if my non-lawyer reading of the laws is correct. But everything else must be reported. And while […]

On Monday, the SBE held a hearing to determine if the Voter Participation Center had possible […]

The following is a press release from the Republican Party of Virginia.

It has not been a great evening for Ron Paul. North Dakota and Idaho did not come through with that first win. Alaska is still out, however. BUT, Paul DID WIN the Third Congressional District – meaning that three delegates will come from that convention committed to RP at the convention. I congratulate Chris Stearns, […]

Judge Gibney has ruled: While the requirement for a registered voter in VA as a petition circulator may be unconstitutional, the other candidacies were not hurt by that rule as they did not get the 10,000 signatures anyway even by non-registered voters. Furthermore, they cannot now get the 10,000 signatures. The Court did not strike […]

This is a fascinating column in Blue Virginia by noted VA Democratic political adviser Paul Goldman. Here’s the summary: Moreover: There is still time to make this change this year.
