• Governor.Virginia.govVirginia Governor Youngkin got it right when it comes to voting ballots. EO 35 is pretty darn great.
Here's what it does:
- 100% paper ballots which provide a physical record of the voter's intent
- Use of paper ballot counting machines, not voting machines
- Strict chain of custody for ballots with daily reconciliation during early voting
- Application required to receive a mail ballot - no mass mailing of ballots
- Counting machines tested prior to every election
- Counting machines not connected to the internet
- Drop boxes under 24/7 monitoring
Youngkin has removed 80,000 deceased voters from the Virginia rolls and has identified thousands of voters who no longer live in Virginia.
