Aug 8, 2024, 09:37 PM

Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has issued an executive order mandating the use of paper ballots for the upcoming November election. The order also requires election officials to ensure that no ballot-counting machines are connected to the internet and that ballots are only counted if the voter's social security number and birthday match the information in the system. This follows an election-integrity review that found 6,303 non-citizens and 79,867 deceased individuals on Virginia's voter rolls. Youngkin's measures aim to enhance the integrity of the electoral process in Virginia.
