A reporter from Virginia explains what happened

[intrepidity]

4. Ok, thanks for posting

I thought I was confused, but turns out I did understand what happened. And, if going strictly by the letter of the law, I can see why it was overturned. Granted, it probably would not have made any difference *in this case*, but I can see why you would not want to set such a precedent.

The fact is that those 4 days of voting (because what really is the point of an "election" if not actual people casting ballots, regardless of when the actual election date is designated. Or rather, the election date was actually a range of dates.)

It was a technicality, and they need to refine their state constitution to address it.
