Trump Slams Virginia GOP Over Loyalty Pledge

Donald Trump slammed the Republican Party of Virginia for its plan to require that 2016 primary voters sign a statement confirming they are Republicans, the Washington Post reports.

“Trump and others say the requirement could discourage independent and first-time voters from casting primary ballots in Virginia, where primaries are open to all registered voters. According to some experts, the voter pledge has the potential to hurt Trump in particular, because his un­or­tho­dox candidacy has attracted voters disenchanted with traditional party politics.”
