From the Virginia Voter Registration Form:

quote:

IDENTIFICATION REQUIREMENT
For Registration. Under a new federal law, if this form is submitted by mail, and you have never registered to vote in Virginia before, you must send with this application either (a) a copy of your current and valid photo identification, or (b) a copy of a current utility bill, bank statement, government check, paycheck or other government document that shows your name and address. Otherwise, you may be required to show election officials either (a) or (b) above the first time you vote in a federal election.
For Voting. Virginia law requires every voter voting in person to show identification or sign a statement, subject to felony penalties for false statements pursuant to §24.2-1016, that the person is the named registered voter.

I moved up here a little while ago and and just had to send them a photocopy of my gas bill and the contact info of my old Georgia precinct. Virginia's still the South technically, but it sure as hell isn't Alabama.

This is really sad. I was in Madrid for the occupation of the Plaza del Sol and associated protests last summer/fall and was struck by the spirit of mutual respect between protesters and police and the profound peacefulness of the protests. Even when the protesters spilled into Cibeles and the plaza in front of the Prado which is about 100 meters from the Cortes (Parliament) there was no violence. I wonder what difference a year made.

Well I'm going to assume that you don't know how bad those anti-muslim blogs are, because they're quite loving terrible, full of racist and hateful advocacy, and were referenced by mass murderer Anders Breivik in his anti-Muslim manifesto. I do agree though that spray painting can lead to some terrible things, especially with threats against the living.
