Virginia Denied Reimbursement for Riot Response

Morning Notes

ARLnow.com Today at 7:30am

Va. Denied Reimbursement for Riot Response — “The Federal Emergency Management Agency has denied requests from Maryland and Virginia for an emergency declaration to cover expenses associated with responding to the Capitol riot and increasing security around President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration. FEMA’s decision — which both states plan to appeal — could mean the states would not receive federal funds for providing law enforcement personnel and other support.” [Washington Post]

As for VA., they have stripped 4 state delegates of some of their committees for supporting the conspiracy theories and asking Pence to nullify the electoral votes of VA. The repukes also tried to push bills out of committee to ultimately restrict absentee ballot voting and registration. They were voted down.
