In rural Virginia, an entire elections staff quit their jobs after baseless accusations of voter fraud consumed the small community. “Mentally, I just — I couldn’t take it anymore.”
Several residents submitted Freedom of Information Act requests in pursuit of more information about what was going on.
Rebecca Ragland Kelly, the deputy registrar in Buckingham County whose mother was served with a protective order, was the first to quit on Feb. 17. Randy Biggers, a Republican from Buckingham County who had volunteered as a poll worker for many years, hoped to take his place. He started attending meetings of the county GOP last May and said he was alarmed by how Christian and McManus “bashed” Taylor at meetings.
There, the board announced it would not renew Taylor as registrar when her four-year term ended on June 30. She could reapply for the position if she wanted to, Cerwinski said. Some of the meeting attendees jeered angrily at her, according to an audio recording of the meeting shared with NBC News. “I’m not saying it couldn’t happen somewhere,” Garrett said. “But there’s so many safeguards that we have in place.”
At the annual meeting of the Virginia Electoral Board Association in late March — days after Taylor resigned — there was so much talk about reappointing or ousting sitting registrars that organizers arranged an impromptu panel discussion on the issue. Nunnally sat on the panel, and told attendees that reappointment is the norm.
