Former Gov. McDonnell (R-VA) & Wife Indicted
From the Washington Post:
Former Virginia governor Robert F. McDonnell and his wife, Maureen, were charged Tuesday with illegally accepting gifts, luxury vacations and large loans from a wealthy Richmond-area businessman who sought special treatment from state government.
~
The two were charged with 14 felony counts, including wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, obtaining property under color of their official office and conspiring to the do the same.
They were also charged with making false statements to a federal credit union.
McDonnell was also charged with making a false statement to another financial institution, and Maureen McDonnell was charged with obstructing the investigation.
Charges mean the couple could face a maximum of decades in prison, though would likely serve far less if convicted...
Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy.

Republican Election Shenanigans in Virginia
 |
| AG candidate Mark Obenshain (right) |
From Salon:
Last Friday, after most of the counties had finished going through
their provisional ballots but while Fairfax County still had a fair
amount of work to do, the state Board of Elections issued a directive
telling Fairfax County and the rest of the state boards that they
cannot have legal representatives (or party lawyers) stand in for voters
to advocate that certain votes be counted. Fairfax County said its
representatives had been allowed to do so in the past. The state board,
which has two Republican members and one Democratic member, said it
issued its clarification on the legal advice
of the attorney general’s office in an effort to assure uniformity.
From that point on, voters would have to argue for themselves that their
provisional ballots deserved counting.
Democrats cried foul, noting that the rule change emanated from failed Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli’s
office and came after the other counties were done counting, while
Herring was closing the gap. Fairfax County—it should be noted—tends to
skew Democrat. It looked like a rule change midstream, intended to
benefit Obenshain, the Republican. Monday, however, the Virginia Board
of Elections issued a further clarification,
stating that Fairfax was the only county with this supposed policy
(allowing outside advocates to argue for provisional ballots) and that
it would be unfair for Fairfax to use this different rule. The board
further clarified Monday that a voter would not need to show up in
person but could supply any missing information by email or fax.

How Ted Cruz Has Affected Virginia
The Virginia part of this clip is relatively short, but is totally accurate. Maybe, Virginia should be thanking Ted Cruz, but not in the way he would want.
