From ABC News WJLA:

RICHMOND, Va. (ABC7) — Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced Sunday that he has signed new legislation that expands access to voting in the Commonwealth. The new bill repeals Virginia's voter identification law, makes Election Day a state holiday, and expands access to early voting, according to a release from the office of Gov. Northam. Early voting will be allowed 45 days before an election without a stated excuse. The Commonwealth currently requires voters who want to vote absentee provide the state with a reason from an approved list, why they are unable to vote on Election Day.

3 cheers for Governor Northam on this Easter Sunday!

Making Election Day a holiday has been a priority of the progressive movement, and Democrats, since probably before I was born, almost 50 years ago. Republicans don’t want it to happen because it means that more poor people who are less able to take time off from work will vote. And poorer people are likely Democratic voters.

Well, in Virginia at least, Republicans can pound sand.
