Virginia isn’t messing around. Regarding election security, the Governor has drawn a hard line in the sand with Executive Order Thirty-Five. It’s a move as bold as it is necessary—ensuring that every legal vote counts and that nothing slips through the cracks.
This isn’t about politics; it’s about doing what’s right. The Governor knows it. The people of Virginia know it. And anyone thinking about messing with Virginia’s elections better know it too.
- No-nonsense security: Virginia’s Governor orders a relentless crackdown on election vulnerabilities, ensuring only legal votes get counted, with every ballot tracked and secured like state secrets.
- Ironclad process: From daily voter list purges to bulletproof counting machines, Virginia’s election system is now a fortress—nothing gets in or out without clearance.
- High stakes, zero tolerance: With a take-no-prisoners approach, the Governor’s making it clear: in Virginia, election integrity is non-negotiable.
Cleaning House: Dead Voters Gone
“We’ve made unprecedented strides,” the Governor says, and he means it. Under his watch, Virginia has scrubbed the voter lists cleaner than ever. Dead voters? Gone. The numbers speak for themselves: 79,867 names were removed in 2023 alone. And that’s just the beginning.
The Governor’s not interested in half-measures. He’s cut data-sharing deals with seven states, and pulled information from 42 more, and he’s not stopping until Virginia’s voter rolls are bulletproof.
Paper Ballots: The Only Way Forward
The order lays it out plain: 100% paper ballots. No touchscreens, no fancy gadgets that can be hacked. Just paper you can hold, count, and recount if necessary. Every ballot is tracked with the precision of a sniper’s bullet—a documented chain of custody, daily reconciliations during early voting, the whole nine yards. If you’re casting a vote in Virginia, it’s going to be counted, and it’s going to be counted right.
Tough on Fraud: Absentee Ballots Locked Down
And don’t even think about trying to game the system. The Governor’s making sure of that with some of the toughest ballot security measures in the country. Absentee ballots? You better request one, because there’s no mass mailing here. And when your ballot arrives, they’re not counting it until they match up the last four digits of your social security number and your year of birth. Tight. Controlled. Unyielding.
Counting Machines: Secure as a Bank Vault
But it doesn’t stop there. Counting machines in Virginia are as secure as a bank vault. “Virginia doesn’t use voting machines,” the Governor says. “Just paper ballot counting machines.” These machines are tested before every election, certified to state and federal standards, and, most importantly, they’re never connected to the internet. Triple checks at the precinct, locality, and state levels ensure that the results are accurate. Nothing’s left to chance.
Voter Rolls: A Ruthless Purge
Then there’s the voter list. It’s updated daily, with new voters added and ineligible ones struck off like a name in a hit list. If you’re dead, moved, or disqualified, you’re out. Between January 2022 and July 2024, Virginia removed 6,303 non-citizens from the rolls. The Governor doesn’t care if you accidentally registered or did it on purpose. If you’re not supposed to vote, you won’t.
No Room for Error
Virginia’s election security isn’t about making headlines—it’s about getting the job done. The Governor’s plan is as simple as it is effective: Prevent illegal votes, guarantee the legal ones are counted, and let the chips fall where they may. “Our election security model is designed to prevent illegal votes and guarantee legal votes are accurately counted,” he says. And if that sounds like a challenge, well, maybe it is.
In Virginia, there’s no room for error. The Governor’s made sure of that. And anyone looking to undermine the state’s elections will find themselves outgunned and outmatched. Because when it comes to protecting the integrity of the vote, Virginia doesn’t take prisoners.
