Just In: Virginia Mandates Paper Ballots in New Election Security Move
In a significant move aimed at bolstering election security, Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has issued a new directive requiring all votes in the state to be cast on paper ballots. The decision, formalized under Executive Order 35, underscores a push for transparency and accuracy in the electoral process.
The order mandates that the voter list be updated daily, utilizing data from the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and other reliable sources to ensure its accuracy. This step is part of a broader effort to strengthen trust in Virginia’s voting system.
Governor Youngkin’s initiative has sparked conversation nationwide, with some seeing it as a model for election integrity. The directive has prompted calls for similar measures in other states, with proponents arguing that widespread adoption could enhance confidence in the upcoming elections.
