RICHMOND, Va. - Voters in Virginia's Feb. 12 Republican presidential primary will have to sign an oath swearing loyalty to the eventual GOP ticket.

The State Board of Elections on Monday approved a state Republican Party request that all who apply for a GOP primary ballot first vow in writing to vote for the Republican presidential nominee next fall.


There is no practical way to enforce the GOP covenant in the constitutionally guaranteed secrecy of the voting booth. Yet the oath is a concept Virginia's GOP has considered for years.

Voters in Virginia do not register by party. Since the mid-90s, the state's Republicans have fretted that Democrats might meddle in their primaries, which are open to all registered voters.

Virginia Democrats require no oath for their presidential primary, which will be held the same day.

RON PAUL!! RON PAUL!!!

But it's always Repukes voting for the candidate they consider weakest in the Democratic primary, not the other way around. That's why you get 65% of all primary votes cast in the Democratic primary and then the 'pukes gather 70% of the votes in the general election. Maybe primaries work in states that are less corrupt than Mississippi, but I truly believe we'd be better off with caucuses and/or a statewide convention.

we knew Gore was a lock for the nomination in 2000. If we'd all gone out and voted for McCain in the open GOP primaries, who knows what would have happened?

I sincerely regret not doing it to this day.

voting rights in stockholder votes for corporations. Then the republican voters wouldn't even HAVE TO SHOW UP TO VOTE in November.

It'd be much easier to count all ten of their voters that way.
