In order to exercise that option, the voters, who said they voted for Republican Glenn Youngkin for governor, were required to call a California number to begin the process, which seems… odd. After they insisted, election officials allowed them to use the curbside voting option. The voters, who are fully vaxxed and wish to remain anonymous, were not offered curbside voting, as required by the DoE. Yet this sign seems to indicate otherwise: If a voter is symptomatic and insists on voting in the polling place, you cannot turn them away. What if a voter is displaying symptoms of illness? You can offer them curbside voting to ensure they stay outside. In fact, even a voter showing symptoms of COVID-19 cannot be barred from entering the polling place:
You cannot turn a voter away because they refuse to use a mask. You may offer the voter curbside voting or offer them a face covering if you have any extra available. However, if someone is not wearing a face covering you may not turn him or her away. Note the signs on the door at Precinct 507 in Lincolnia:Īccording to a directive from the DoE, that shouldn’t be happening:Ĭan we require a voter to wear a mask? No, we are encouraging voters to bring masks if they must show up in-person to vote. The woman said that the couple and their children-one of whom is a two-year-old with medical issues that preclude him from wearing a mask-would be required to mask up or they would not be allowed to enter the building. “You can’t enter the building without a mask,” they were told by a woman stationed at the door, presumably a poll worker. A Fairfax County resident reached out to PJ Media to report that he and his wife were turned away at the door because they were not wearing masks. Virginia doesn’t require an ID to vote, but is there anything at all that can prevent someone from voting in the state? Well, it turns out that at least one precinct in Fairfax County, Va., is requiring masking in order to enter the polling place. “Additionally,” Piper said, “you may not hold up the line to vote based on whether voters are wearing masks.” It is not sufficient to offer curbside voting as an alternative,” he added. “While masks are encouraged, every eligible voter is entitled to cast a ballot at their polling place.
“We have gotten several reports of voters either being turned away or being made to wait until the polling place is clear before being allowed to vote if they refuse to wear a mask,” Piper wrote. “You may not turn voters away because they are not wearing masks.”
