Virginia Rule Allowing Late Ballots Missing Postmark Was Illegal, Court Rules | The Daily Caller

By Thomas A. Smith

The Virginia Board of Elections rule allowing officials to count ballots that arrived without a postmark up to three days after the election was illegal, a state judge ruled.

Virginia Circuit Court Judge William Eldridge ruled the state s late mail-in ballot law violated state statute and permanently banned the law in future Virginia elections, the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) announced Monday. PILF sued the state s board of elections in October on behalf of Thomas Reed, a Frederick County, Virginia election official.
