Matt Rogers for Delegate - Virginia's 47th

04/02/2021

BREAKING 🚨: The Virginia NAACP calls on the Virginia Department of Elections to grant deadline extensions like they have done for numerous candidates in the past.

"The fact that the recently disqualified candidates were of color who sought to challenge incumbent legislators adds to our concerns."

SHARE and DON'T LET THIS STAND.

04/02/2021

PLEASE SHARE 🚨: The growing evidentiary record shows that numerous legislators owe their incumbency to the gracious deference summarily denied to three Black candidates on Wednesday – which mutes the voices of well over 100K Virginians.

I renew my call for Virginia Department of Elections to LET THE PEOPLE VOTE.

CALL: (804) 864-8901
EMAIL: [email protected]

This disparate treatment cannot stand.

BREAKING 🚨: Just dropped off significantly more petitions than are required to qualify for the June election!

We’re going to keep collecting, though. There are thousands who don’t know that there are “off year” June elections for delegate because there hasn’t been one since 09.

Luckily for me, my wife, and my six week old son, these officers had the good sense to realize what happened in this case: I was canvassing while black.

These grave offenses happen all the time here in Arlington. Black people even take photos sometimes!!!! https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/3/4/2019372/-Canvassing-while-black-can-be-deadly-Thankfully-it-wasn-t-today?fbclid=IwAR3BPr-vSCYfZ3c_20hkLQAz7H3RVFSVxr7KXdnxnfP7XLiOxXIbLRjOy5Y

This year’s elections in Virginia are incredibly important and this afternoon was truly a beautiful time to start energizing voters for June 8th. I took my clipboard and papers that I drop off for voters to a nearby neighborhood.  After a few...
