Senate Democrats kill Republican bills aimed at rolling back early vote access
Senate Democrats once again killed several bills on Tuesday that would reduce access to early voting in Virginia. While Republicans have started to embrace early voting in Virginia, they continue to try to roll back the policies enacted by Democrats in 2020.
Sen. Mark Peake (R-Lynchburg) introduced multiple bills before the Senate Privileges and Elections Committee that he acknowledged beforehand would likely fail to survive.
