You have a missing parenthesis, so I'll have to guess where you wanted it.

Your three examples don't seem to match the phrase "working from -100 to  
100".

And there's a third variable -- x -- that you haven't explained. I'll give  
it a fixed value.

So... working from -10 to t+10 to save time, and t varying from 0 to .1 so  
that everything isn't obscured by the scale:

Clear[v]
v[i_, x_, t_] = -67 + (10 (i - 1) + 67) x E^(-19 x t)/10;
x = 3;
Plot[Evaluate@Table[v[i, x, t], {i, -10, 10}], {t, 0, .1},
  PlotRange -> All]

In case it's x that should vary from -100 to 100, then I don't know what  
values i should take on.

But... if you want to vary both, here's an example:

Plot[Evaluate@Table[v[i, x, t], {i, -10, 10}, {x, 0, 3}], {t, 0, .1},
  PlotRange -> All]

Notice that this is colored differently:

Plot[Table[v[i, x, t], {i, -10, 10}, {x, 0, 3}], {t, 0, .1},
  PlotRange -> All]

That's what Evaluate is about, in the other plots.
