The son of Glenn Youngkin, the Republican businessman elected to become Virginias next governor, twice tried to vote in Tuesdays election despite not being old enough to cast a ballot, according to The Washington Post.
The Post did not identify Youngkins 17-year-old son in its Friday report, which cited Fairfax County officials, because he was not charged with a crime and because he is a minor. An official in the Fairfax County elections office told The Post it didnt appear he had violated election law.
Youngkins son attempted to vote at the Great Falls Library but was denied because he was not eligible, an election worker told the newspaper. He returned 20 minutes later insisting that he be allowed to vote.
Campaign spokesman Devin OMalley said in a statement to the newspaper on Friday that Youngkins political opponents are pitching opposition research on a 17-year-old kid who honestly misunderstood Virginia election law and simply asked polling officials if he was eligible to vote.
