VA-02: Judge Orders Candidate Off Ballot In Virginia

Last edited Wed Sep 5, 2018, 10:13 PM - Edit history (1)

A Richmond Circuit Court judge on Wednesday ruled that independent Shaun Brown should be removed from the 2nd District congressional ballot, finding "out and out fraud" in the effort to gather her signatures.

At least four staffers for the re-election campaign of Rep. Scott Taylor, R-2nd, helped gather signatures to get Brown on the ballot as an independent.

Judge Gregory Rupe heard arguments in a suit the Democratic Party of Virginia filed against the State Board of Elections. The suit alleges that because of rampant fraud in Brown's signatures, the court should order her removal from the ballot.

And if they can prove Scott Taylor knew about it (they probably won't be able to), they should send him behind bars, too. This is pure election fraud, plain and simple.
