VOTER INFO: How to Remove Your Name from the Absentee Ballot List
Have you received an absentee ballot in the mail and wondered why, because you never requested one? Or maybe you received an absentee ballot for someone who moved from your address years ago — or for a complete stranger?
If so, you (or the person for whom the ballot was intended) are one of hundreds of thousands of Virginia citizens who were placed on the Permanent Absentee list in 2021 by the Democrat-run legislature. You weren’t asked for your permission to be placed on the list. You could have missed the one notification that you were on the list, because Election Registrars were instructed to send only a single mailing.
GOP Election Chiefs Needed
One of the benefits of electing a Republican Governor last year is that on Election Day, November 8, all Election Chiefs at the 264 precincts across Fairfax County can be Republicans. But we need 100 more Republican Election Chiefs to staff all 264 precincts. You can help! If you’ve served as an Election Officer in the past, PLEASE consider being an Election Chief this year.
The Fairfax County Office of Elections is committed to ensuring that all new Chiefs receive adequate training so they can be successful. Here is a link for a webinar recently held by the Office of Elections for all potential Election Chiefs: https://training.electionofficers.com/nov-2022/qa-possible-chiefs.
Dinesh D’Souza’s New Movie Showing in Fairfax This Week
The highly-anticipated documentary film 2000 Mules will be showing in Fairfax this week only, followed by a virtual premiere on Saturday, May 7. In 2000 Mules, documentary filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza thoroughly documents what he calls “ballot trafficking” on a scale that was large enough to alter the results of the 2020 election.
“The movie exposes the lies of the Democrats, RINOs, and Fake News who say it was the ‘most secure election in history.’ It was, perhaps, the least secure in history,” says former President Donald Trump.
Omission of Oaths in Election 2021: A Fairfax Problem or Statewide?
The former General Registrar of the Fairfax County Office of Elections and the Fairfax Electoral Board did not obtain legally required oaths that attest to the proper printing and delivery of the ballots for the 2021 election, until months after that election occurred. Some oaths required by law may not have been obtained at all for 2021 or earlier elections. These oaths, required from the printer and from the Electoral Board representatives overseeing the printer, are important parts of the Chain of Custody documentation for ballots in every election.
New General Registrar Drives Reform at Fairfax County Office of Elections
The new General Registrar, Eric Spicer, began serving on March 28, 2022 after being appointed by the Fairfax County Electoral Board to replace the former General Registrar Scott Konopasek. The Electoral Board accepted Konopasek’s resignation on March 24. Spicer previously served as the Elections Manager in Fairfax for almost five years. Previously he had been the Election Administrator for twenty-one years for the City of Alexandria.

HERRITY: Make a Plan to Vote Early!
In the past, I have always voted on Election Day. This year is different; I voted early for the following reasons: (1) Voting early reduces the amount of phone calls and mailers you receive as campaigns take you off of their lists once you have voted – it also saves them money; (2) Eliminates the worry that a family/business or medical emergency might happen on Election Day; (3) Reduces opportunity for voter fraud by removing your name from voter rolls as a picture ID is no longer required to vote; (4) But most importantly – it is critical that we end one-party rule in Richmond.
HERRITY: Board Dems Want to Unfairly Change Voting Rules
At Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board voted 9-1 to ask Governor Northam to remove the witness signature requirement for absentee ballots in Fairfax County because our residents may not be able to get signatures due to COVID concerns. The General Assembly removed the witness signature requirement during the 2020 elections while we were under a State of Emergency. It was reinstated once the State of Emergency ended in the Commonwealth.

LISTEN: Clay Percle on Disenfranchisement of GOP Voters
Clay Percle, who leads the Fairfax GOP’s Election Integrity Team, joined WMAL’s Mornings on the Mall radio program to discuss last weekend’s disenfranchisement of many Republican voters. With registration deadlines looming for Virginia’s GOP convention, the Department of Elections closed its online Citizens Portal for “scheduled maintenance.” In addition to GOP conventions in Fairfax and Loudoun Counties, registrations for local elections in Vienna were similarly affected.
