A move to create a new voting precinct and polling station on the main campus of George Mason University turned personal on Tuesday as Fairfax Republicans accused Democratic County Board Chairwoman Sharon Bulova of partisan politics. Under the General Assembly’s redistricting plan, George Mason’s campus is isolated from the rest of its precinct, meaning voters there must drive through Fairfax City in order to reach a voting booth. An on-campus precinct would eliminate that hurdle.

“We want the students and employees of George Mason, especially those living on campus, to feel like they are part of the Fairfax County community,” Bulova said.
