The Fairfax County Office of Elections argued that Virginia law stipulates that such a challenge can only be brought by an “aggrieved voter,” the candidate for office, the candidate’s campaign, or the chairman of the candidate’s political party.
All they needed was "an aggrieved voter", the candidate, the candidate's campaign, or the candidate's political party to file the suit. How did the lawyers for the Virginia Institute for Public Policy not know this when filing the suit?
Because lawyers are liberal. Gotta lie to be a lawyer.
