Gov. Glenn Youngkin is tightening up Virginia’s voting procedures. Cue the raging leftists.
The Virginia Republican issued an executive order mandating paper ballots and other protocols meant to ensure free and fair elections in time for the 2024 presidential election.
“Today, we issued Executive Order 35, codifying our administration’s model for election security,” Youngkin posted to social media platform X Wednesday.
“This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue, it’s an American and Virginian issue. Every legal vote deserves to be counted,” Youngkin wrote.

The order mandates paper ballots with a “documented chain of custody” that will be counted but not cast by machine. Notably, the counting machines won’t be connected to the internet.
Virginia will also cross-check voters’ Social Security numbers and DMV records to verify identity and will do the same for absentee ballots.
