CASEY: Does an election denialist now oversee Roanoke's elections?

CASEY: Does an election denialist now oversee Roanoke’s elections?
Dan Casey 18 hrs ago 50
Here’s a nugget of news that’s received little if any attention so far. It’s about some recent changes to the board that governs elections in Roanoke. That three-person panel is known as the Roanoke City Electoral Board.
Each county and city in Virginia has one. Appointed members serve staggered three-year terms. When Virginia’s governor is a Republican, there are two Republicans on each local electoral board, and vice-versa when the governor’s a Democrat.
Local political parties choose board nominees, and customarily, the chief judge of the locality’s circuit court rubber-stamps the nominees to formalize their appointments.
That’s how Republican Al Bedrosian became the newest face on the Roanoke City Electoral Board. He was sworn in late in December. His term began Jan. 1. And his name might be a familiar one.
