Glenn Youngkin Submits Bill Accelerating Re-Election Date for All Nine Members of Loudoun County School Board, Forcing Them to Face Voters This Year, If Passed

Will the tyrants be forced to face the peasants they've been abusing?

Before getting too excited: Remember, the Virginia Senate remains in Democrat hands, only because the Senate didn't come up for reelection last year. Youngkin will need Democrat vote to get this to pass.

Virginia's Loudoun County School Board, which was accused of covering up the sexual assault of a high school girl last year, could be voted out of office en masse in November if Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin gets his way.

According to a bill amendment backed by Youngkin, all nine board members would be up for re-election this year, 12 months earlier than previously scheduled, according to ABC7.

Following that election, five members would be up for re-election two years down the line while the other four would not face the voters again until 2026.

The proposal will need to be approved by Virginia's legislature to go into effect.

Youngkin's amendment follows his day-one order for the commonwealth's attorney general to investigate potential wrongdoing by board members and the school district regarding the sexual assaults.

...

On Tuesday, Loudoun County school board member Andrew Hoyler came out against Youngkin's proposal.

"We have legal procedures in place to remove elected officials for a number of reasons," he said in a statement. "These procedures are done through the judicial system, not the executive and legislative branches, and I do not support any attempt to circumnavigate the processes that are already present."

...

Democratic Loudoun County Delegate David Ried also blasted the amendment, calling it an "attempt by some Republicans to subvert our democracy and hold it hostage to a right-wing minority."

Suck my dick.

Ah: I was wondering if this was an attempt at leverage.

54 The entire VA senate is up for reelection in 6.5 months.

This is a Big Boss move.

The Dems will get attacked no matter which way they vote.

LOLGF.
