I request that you vote AGAINST HB213 (A BILL to amend and reenact §§ 24.2-612 and 24.2-646.1 of the Code of Virginia and to repeal § 24.2-453 of the Code of Virginia, relating to elections; Uniform Military and Overseas Voters Act; restrictions on ballot eligibility; repeal.). By repealing 24.2-453, the legislature will remove a crucial qualifier for overseas civilian voters. Virginia already does NOT require prior residence in the state. Without the requirement for an affirmation that the overseas voter resides there for employment or as a dependent of someone who is there for employment, anyone can vote as an overseas civilian with no proof of prior residence or any excuse for overseas residence. This is only one of several bills that will reduce verification of overseas civilian voters. Add in HB493 (https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB493) , which allows UOCAVA voters to vote electronically. (Note in HB493,  see lines 44-45 in the pdf: "When this statement has been properly completed and signed by the registered voter, his ballot shall not be subject to challenge pursuant to § 24.2-651.") Since challenges are now required to be filed in the Court and not with the Registrar, under the proposed HB640 (https://lis.virginia.gov/bill-details/20261/HB640 ), overseas civilians' registrations will not be susceptible to challenges.  And under HB111 (see pdf lines 62-70 https://lis.blob.core.windows.net/files/1082433.PDF), the registrar can't cancel a UOCAVA voter's registration if that voter shows up in another state under the Driver License Compact. In conclusion, please vote NO on HB213.

HB213 undermines election integrity by eliminating key eligibility restrictions for overseas voters who have relinquished their Virginia residency. Without requiring proof of employment overseas or dependent status, it allows individuals lacking genuine ties to the state to influence local and state elections, enabling fraud and diluting the votes of actual Virginia residents

There should not be any restrictions on military to exercise their right to vote as they are the ones who defend our rights. There is a fundamental right to life. See TCCAA cover story May-June 2022 regarding murder charge in case of death of 5 week old fetus, and 1970 Keeler vs Superior Court. The law never meant for marriage to be for same sex. It had always been meant for opposite sex.

I stand against abortion in this state and any abilities for election fraud!

My husband and I are extremely concerned about proposed abortion bills and legislation. We have lived in this state for many years and never dreamed of these bills moving forward and are aghast at the thought of it. We are vehemently opposed to any such passage of abortion and whole heartedly in favor of preserving and protecting all life espeically of the most vulnerable unborn life that all science now admits. Please say "no" to such bills.
