I had a great time canvassing for Philip Forgit yesterday along with others from the Southside of Hampton Roads. We had a nice contingent of folks and a pretty decent day for knocking doors - not too hot, not too cold, and only a little windy.

Republican loyalty oath rescinded
It seems that the RPV has backed off its earlier plan to have presidential primary voters sign a loyalty oath before casting their ballots.

SBE busy Monday
The State Board of Elections was busy yesterday (AP). First, they approved a request by the Virginia Republican Party to require voters in their February 12 presidential primary to sign a loyalty oath, vowing to support the eventual Republican nominee.
