Virginia Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R)
- Tea Party Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R) backs off a previous suggestion that he might support legalizing marijuana: “I don’t want you to think that I’m going to land in the governor’s office and sign a legalization bill. I don’t think you have to worry about it getting to the governor’s desk but it’s worth knowing what your candidate’s saying.”
- Missouri Republican lawmakers are trying for the third time to enact a voter ID law in that state.
