I couldn’t help but chuckle just a bit at Del. Bobby Orrock’s HB71, which “(p)rovides that the party chairman or official who certifies candidates for the party primary or as party nominees shall not be a candidate for that primary or election.”
During the June Primary, Bobby had to certify his signatures with the 54th District Chairman. That individual was… me. It was a bit awkward, but it ended smoothly enough.
I entirely understand why a change in the code would be justified. Between less honorable men, it could have erupted into a big problem.
Still, how many people can claim that part of the Code of Virginia was changed based off of a scenario involving their own actions?
