On Wednesday, The Epoch Times posted an article about the preparations the Commonwealth of Virginia is making to promote integrity in the November election.
The article reports:
Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed an executive order on Aug. 7 to implement security measures ahead of the November election.
These measures include using paper ballots; tracking possession of ballots during early voting; matching the number of ballots cast with the number of voters who have checked in and the number of ballots sent to voters; and requiring absentee ballots to be requested before being mailed to voters, in addition to not accepting them back unless the voter provides the last four digits of his or her Social Security number and birth year.
Virginia uses paper ballot counting machines that are not connected to the internet. These machines are tested before elections.
…According to Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, 6,303 noncitizens have been removed from the state’s voter rolls under the Youngkin administration. Miyares’ office is charged with enforcing election laws.
According to the executive order, almost 80,000 deceased voters have been removed from the voter rolls.
Every state needs to do this.
The article also notes:
In the executive order, Youngkin instructed the Department of Motor Vehicles to “expedite the interagency data sharing with the Department of Elections of noncitizens by generating a daily file of all noncitizens transactions, including addresses and document numbers.”
The Department of Elections compares a list of noncitizens with those registered to vote. Those who are on both lists get removed from voter rolls. If someone is erroneously removed, they have 14 days to prove their eligibility to cast a ballot.
Additionally, Virginia has cameras monitoring drop box locations 24/7.
There have been almost two-dozen cases of election fraud cases in Virginia since 2007, according to the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in Washington.
It is telling that there seems to be only one political party fighting for election integrity.
