Wow. I did not know that one could find out if someone voted and that it was public info.Yeah, and I'm wondering how Connolly (or anyone, for that matter) would know whether someone voted or not.
Now, if that is true, I will likely change my mind. So, I'm still looking to see if Perkins has said anything about his voting, because technically, Perkins is the ONLY one who SHOULD know (or claim to know) about whether he voted or not.
I'll see if I can find anything. But I believe it is a matter of public record if you have voted or not. At least when I once upon a time worked for moveon.org, we got lists of who voted, who was merely registered, etc. Not how the vote was cast, just that it was.
I had no idea and have no idea where to even look.
Seriously, if that is true about Perkins, I don't take kindly to that - not voting. Would those records include absentee?
Judge expands access to Virginians' voting records | HamptonRoads.com | PilotOnline.com
A Richmond judge has ruled that a state law restricting the release of information about Virginians' personal voting histories is unconstitutional.
Circuit Judge Melvin Hughes' decision last week is a victory for the Know Campaign, a nonprofit organization that sued the State Board of Elections over its refusal to give the group access to voter history lists. Those lists include voters' names, addresses and records of participation in elections over the past four years.
They don't disclose how people voted. But because they reveal voters' records of participation in elections - including party primaries - they are valuable to candidates and party organizations, which use them for targeted campaign mailings and phone calls.
Under current state law, the lists have been made available only to elected officials, candidates and party chairmen
