🚨BUT SPANBERGER HAS *NOT* CORRECTED HER FALSE CLAIM: THREE days later, CNN admits ERROR after suggesting U.S. troops abroad would be impacted by Trump's mail-in ballot crackdown Wolf Blitzer issued a 'quick note of clarification' following an exchange he had with Democrat Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger "CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer issued a mea culpa Monday after he falsely suggested U.S. troops abroad would be impacted by the Trump administration's crackdown on mail-in voting." ... ✅Blitzer's correction: "And finally, a quick note of clarification. On Friday, I interviewed the Democratic governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger. ... A comment I made suggested that U.S. military and overseas voters' ballots would be impacted by these directives. I want to be clear right now: Those ballots are exempt from the Postal Service's new rules implementing the president's March executive order." "Those groups are covered under the Uniformed and Overseas Absentee Voting Act, just to be specific on that point." ➡️Note from VNV: During the interview, Spanberger COULD have corrected him but did NOT. This is even worse because she was a "postal inspector" in a past job. ✅Instead, Spanberger told the audience: "That's true. It’s members of the military service, of our diplomatic service, intelligence services, people serving overseas in service to our country who get their ballots mailed to them at the various postings throughout the world. And so this is impacting … certainly those who are serving our country, particularly those overseas.” ➡️Note from VNV: She has no credibility. The FIRST part of her comments is JUST as FALSE as the second part. More details in article: Video: Blitzer's CNN correction & original clip the governor sent out:

🚨VA SUPREME COURT: Nick Minock reports on one of the primary arguments made during the Va. Supreme Court's Monday session on Va. gerrymandering: timing. Democrats passed their first authorization on Halloween. So, did they truly give Virginians the prescribed time that's required so that voters could factor the map's one-party redrawing into their voting decisions for the House of Delegates -- which is the purpose of timing it BEFORE an election?

🚨NEW: In the context of the disenfranchisement of rural Virginians by Democratic gerrymandering, Republican St. Senator Bill Stanley introduces Southside & Southwest Virginia to the uncaring Democratic state senators -- especially the Northern Virginians. It's a moving speech. "You have voted on all of this without consulting them. And you have voted to limit their treasured constitutional rights." "And some of those votes have been made with breathtaking confidence by the people who have never once asked who lives out there? What do they need? What are their values? What are their names?" .... "[The region] is home. It is home to us. And the people who live there deserve a government who knows their name and respects their rights and their values."
