A Virginia Republican lawmaker is criticizing his state party for requiring primary voters to sign a so-called loyalty oath in order to vote in the March 6 presidential primary.

The state's Board of Elections approved the proposal earlier in the week. Going forward, voters who arrive at polling sites in March will be required to sign the following statement:

"I, the undersigned, pledge that I intend to support the nominee of the Republican Party for president."

The idea is to keep out impostor Republicans, given that Virginia has an open primary, meaning voters of all political stripes, not just Republicans, can participate in the party's presidential primary.

But Robert Marshall, a state delegate, told Fox News the plan effectively would require residents in some cases to commit to a candidate they're not yet familiar with.

"For the Republican Party to depart so far from what the founders wanted, I think, is a mistake," he said.

 :banghead: The rampant stupidity on display within the Republican party is astonishing.  WTF do these idiots think this will solve?  Dhimmi'Rats are notorious liars; do they all of a sudden think that when faced with such a requirement before getting a ballot in the primary, Dhimmi'Rats are going to turn away from trying to rig the election, or even VOTE FOR THE REPUBLICAN in November because they signed a *******ed piece of paper?

 :retard:


I don't know about the rest of y'all, but between this kind of shit, and stacking the primary deck with rabid RINOs, I'm hunkering down, getting my shit together, and preparing for another 4 years of Teh ReichsMessiah.  At least.

Easier technique is to just close the primary. Not that determined saboteurs couldn't change registration, but the overall laziness of dem voters should reduce that.
