I’m Annette Hyde, a yoga teacher from Madison County, Virginia and my opponent, Del. Nick Freitas (R-Culpeper), thinks easy voting is a form of voter suppression. Perhaps it’s because he lost another race for a Congressional seat.
It’s been over a month since the November 3 election. Votes in Virginia were certified on November 18. Nick still has not conceded the 7th District Congressional race to Rep. Abigail Spanberger. He lost by over 8,000 votes.
In a November 24 radio interview on WRVA in Richmond, Nick said that his team had not stopped investigating “irregularities” and “we don’t have enough data” to support a recount. He was amazed that Rep. Spanberger received 74,000 more votes than she did in 2018 and, on the program, wondered where they came from.
It’s simple. The voting rights legislation passed in the 2020 General Assembly made it easier for people to vote. And Nick Freitas voted against almost all of that legislation. He believes that “voter suppression is when people think it’s too easy to vote, they believe their votes won’t matter”.
Nick is a hypocrite. He claims he wants less government regulation ... until that makes it easier for American citizens to exercise their basic rights. It’s time to have a delegate that votes in our best interests, not his.
I’m going to make sure Nick serves his last term representing House District 30 in the House of Delegates in 2021. Can you follow my campaign on Facebook, Twitter and/or Instagram and chip in a few bucks right now?
