Defendants are bullied and coerced by prosecutors into taking pleas for bullshit charges like this all the time. Glad some attention is finally being brought to this practice.

That feels really weird. In NY, you can't have political signage or "electioneering" within 100 feet of a polling place while voting is taking place. Is there not a similar regulation in Virginia?

Edit: Found the Virginia regulation, electioneering is prohibited within 40 feet of a polling place while polling is taking place. § 24.2-604. Polling places; prohibited activities; prohibited area; penalties.
