Kind of disrespectful to that player on the ground to post a misleading photo like that. The perspective is misleading. If you look closely, the defender leaning over is well right of the sitting players right leg, maybe three or more feet away. Its not what it looks like. Not really that big of a deal, but I would not appreciate it if it was my son shown there, just sayin'.

No need to "lighten up" at all. Just like any other topic posted, comments will follow. After all, posts are here for discussion, right? I even said "its really not a big deal" to avoid any overreaction.

just calling attention to a humorous coincidence...I didn't take the pic, just reposted it

the board is clearly not ready for my slapstick humor

I would suggest lightening up, quite a bit...but in respect of the board, I have removed this pic

I saw the pick and read the posts and I didn't think others had a problem with your topic as much as they did about it being a Chronical picture. No harm on your part.

Correct! My comments were aimed at the Chronicle, not mikehoncho. Sorry 'bout the confusion...

    • Virginia has same day voter registration. A person can literally walk in to the voting location, register and then vote. So the premise that Virginia might be stopping people with a legitimate right to vote is nonsense. From what I gather in the news report, assuming that the ones I have read are correct, the people that were removed, filled out a drivers license registration and marked that they were not an American citizen. Could the person have made a mistake bychecking the box incorrectly? Although unlikely it is certainly possible. That same person who was removed can go into the same voting location where he would have voted and again, complete a voter registration and then vote.  That went into the Supreme Court’s decision.  If such a person votes by registering on election day, he fills out a provisional ballot. Provisional ballots are not originally counted and or not counted unless needed. For example….  Statewide there are 500 provisional ballots cast. A person wins the election by 4,000 votes. That would be no need to count the provisional ballots as it will not matter. Then let’s say there are 5,000 provisional ballots cast in the election. One candidate then wins the election by only 1,500 votes. In that case, the election could definitely swing on those provisional ballots. The state will then investigate each person to make sure they live at the correct address listed and that they are American citizens. If these things are correct, the vote will then be counted. Safe Harbor is not untillll…… I think December 17th this year so there will be six weeks to verify the provisional ballots if needed. The purging of the names of people who checked a state form saying that they were not an American citizen, will not stop that same person from voting.
