   It's 1,600 people. And Virginia allows them to re-register same day as the election. Let's not overreact. If they want to vote, they can still vote.

     @feld @augieray @BalooUriza “First they came for the socialists…”. Maybe you should look up the rest of that. I heard an interview with a woman who had her voting rights stolen by this Virginia initiative. If you checked the wrong box at the DMV when renewing your license, they can claim you aren’t a citizen anymore. Then the law requires them to send you a letter. If you don’t reply in 14 days, they revoke your registration! In her case (and many others) they moved and the letter didn’t get forwarded. Voting rights stolen, on purpose. If anything, we are UNDER reacting to this.

     If this is true, the election isn't over and Virginia still allows registration on Election Day. She can still vote.
     
     I was a poll worker in Wisconsin and registered tons of people on Election Day. Every state should allow this honestly
