Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order for election integrity.
The bill includes voter roll maintenance, voter machine testing and tighter ballot security procedures.
Virginia GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued an executive order on Wednesday that aims to strengthen election security in the state, including the removal of noncitizens from voter rolls and establishing procedures to prosecute them.
Youngkin’s office issued Executive Order 35, which codifies election integrity in the state through a slate of measures, including tighter ballot security procedures, enhanced voter machine testing and voter-list maintenance that more thoroughly identifies and removes noncitizens on voter rolls. The order builds upon election integrity efforts made earlier in his administration, such as an executive order in June that updated data-sharing agreements and streamlined the removal of dead voters from the rolls.

There have been documented cases of noncitizens enrolling on voter lists, with the Virginia Attorney General on Wednesday announcing that his office has identified and removed more than 6,000 noncitizens on voter rolls since he entered office.
Youngkin’s order specifically targets noncitizen participation in elections by directing the Commissioner of the Department of Elections to certify in writing that individuals who were unable to verify their citizenship are to be removed from the statewide voter registration list. Before issuing a driver’s license, the Department of Motor Vehicles must also verify an applicant’s identity and legal status with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Social Security Administration database.
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin said in a statement, “We use 100% paper ballots with a strict chain of custody. We use counting machines, not voting machines, that are tested prior to every election and never connected to the internet.”
Governor Glenn Youngkin today issued Executive Order 35, which codifies the election security procedures put into place during his administration, including stringent ballot security, complete and thorough counting machine testing, and best-in-the-nation voter list maintenance.
“The Virginia model for Election Security works. This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue, it’s an American and Virginian issue. Every legal vote deserves to be counted without being watered down by illegal votes or inaccurate machines. In Virginia, we don’t play games and our model for election security is working,” said Governor Glenn Youngkin.
“We use 100% paper ballots with a strict chain of custody. We use counting machines, not voting machines, that are tested prior to every election and never connected to the internet. We do not mass mail ballots. We monitor our drop boxes 24/7. We verify the legal presence and identity of voters using DMV data and other trusted data sources to update our voter rolls daily, not only adding new voters, but scrubbing the lists to remove those that should not be on it, like the deceased, individuals that have moved, and non-citizens that have accidentally or maliciously attempted to register,” Governor Glenn Youngkin continued.
Donald Trump celebrated the ruling.
The beautiful Commonwealth of Virginia, superbly led by Governor Glenn Youngkin, IS TAKING A STRONG LEAD IN SECURING THE ELECTION IN NOVEMBER — PROTECTING EVERY LEGAL VOTE AND KEEPING ILLEGAL ALIENS THAT HAVE BEEN LET INTO OUR COUNTRY FROM VOTING. All votes will be on paper ballots and counted safely and fairly, not by machines connected to the internet — A big security risk. We must work hard to make sure the Election is FAIR and SECURE!!! EVERY STATE SHOULD FOLLOW VIRGINIA’S LEAD. We need volunteers to watch the polls – So important. The Election on November 5th will be the MOST IMPORTANT ELECTION IN OUR COUNTRY’S HISTORY. Thank you Glenn, GREAT JOB!!!
