100% paper ballots which provide a physical record of the voter's intent
- Use of paper ballot counting machines, not voting machines
- Strict chain of custody for ballots with daily reconciliation during early voting
- Application required to receive a mail ballot - no mass mailing of ballots
- Counting machines tested prior to every election
- Counting machines not connected to the internet
- Drop boxes under 24/7 monitoring
Here's what has already been done in the lead up to this EO being issued:
- Removal of almost 80k deceased voters from the rolls requirement of a full 9 digit social security number, proof of identity, and proof of legal status when registering to vote.
- Audits of list maintenance practices
- Regular National Change of Address mailings to identify voters who no longer live in VA
- Streamlining of process of removing deceased voters, improving access to databases, and comprehensive auditing of voter rolls

Do it in every state!
Each State will decide for itself what it will do.
Yes, that's how it SHOULD be, but only IF the States are providing honest elections.
US Constitution, Article IV, Section 4
It is the Federal government's RESPONSIBILITY, clearly spelled out in the Section above, to ensure that every State has a "Republican Form of Government"
Fraudulent elections mean the "supreme power" in the affected State is NOT held by the people and their (actually and honestly) elected representatives.
Thus, the Constitution clearly overrides State authority when voter fraud becomes an issue.
And audits should be done after every election.
As it should be, 50 separate Basket Republics.
Agreed. It’s always up to the individual states. They have some great ideas which I hope other states will do. Democrats will try to block this as they want to cheat, so, I doubt you will ever see it in blue states.
Virginia was a blue state just a few years ago. It's purple at the moment but these changes should help it go red
Nice!👍
Blue only in certain places; bruised a bit but damned sure not Blue overall ! MAGA for God, Family and Country.
I hope things change big time. We have CIC DJT and all is possible specially if we have our Lord and his son Jesus Christ
Do it in every state; NOW, do it in every state for the 2024 election.
I was just going to say this. We need this like yesterday.
Good but not enough. We have fraud here in FL still with the ballot scanners. I am certain that they can insert Easter Egg code. Unless you do a full audit on paper ballots rather than just a recount, you won’t catch the fraud.
We had fraud here in conservative Seminole County in 2020. Down ballots were all red except for President and Congress. President race was blue for first time ever. And I’m sure they’ve stolen Congressional seat all the times it went blue.
If I were cheating under these rules, and had access to the counting machines and the code running on them, then:
I would program a certain count pattern, essentially like a code, when the counting machine encounters that very specific pattern, then it would start to count differently. (The pattern would need to be long enough that you wouldn't run into it by chance alone)
Whenever a new batch was being counted, if it did not have that pattern at the, it would revert back to normal counting.
Then you'd just need people on the inside that batch ballots and hand them off to the counters, have those people order ballots for the specific pattern and voila. (Which might be the same person)
Ballot counting machines should only ever be used in conjunction with hand counting, used purely as a sanity check. If at any time both counts don't match, then you know something is wrong.
Interestingly, before I knew about fraud, I quizzed a co-worker who always runs a polling place. Because my husband has always mis-trusted the machines. There are two modes on the scanners. A test mode and the voting mode. The test ballots are run through in test mode. Remember Volkswagen cheating on their emissions testing? Different code for the different modes. To go into vote mode, there is a series of steps to set up the machines.
On the ES&S scanners, there is (or used to be?) a weird button to ignore red ink. Since when do any ballots ever have red ink on them?
press that button (as it is only pressed in vote mode) and you can activate a piece of code that is unknown (because no one ever inspects these machines code bases) and suddenly every 3rd ballot is sent to the adjudicated bin behind the curtain under the machine. If the process isn’t closely followed, hanky panky can happen with those ballots getting adjudicated.
I will say that after seeing 2000 mules, I think most of the cheating is happening via mail-in ballots. There was a mule ring identified between Orlando and Jacksonville so it would have been easy for them to add ballots in Seminole County.
Yea Governor Youngkin!!
Pepe Farms remembers this post of Gov. Youngkin action for election integrity.
Hero Governor Glenn Youngkin VETOES Democrat Bill that Would Force Virginia to Re-Enter ERIC Voter Roll Management System – Democrats in a Panic! Why Is That?
Ironic that we all get excited over something so basic and rational. Shows how far we have fallen. Will normies ever ask why all this was done away with?
We Virginians love our current Governor!
You're so lucky!! I'm from NC, so we're stuck with Cooper until the election.
My wife and are visiting the Galax area this week, attending the Old Fiddlers Convention, and your Governor and First Lady dropped by last night to hand out a Spirit of Virginia award. They seemed really nice, and it was terrific seeing a politician stand up in front of a crowd, and not mention politics at all.
So they put the software in via USB thumbdrive just before people vote.
Not enough.
Hand. Count. ONLY.
Virginia will magically turn red.
Make this go nation-wide.
I'm glad to see my home of 45 years getting their shit together. 2020 was stolen in my and the neighboring district with 0400 drops of ballots.
The paper ballot counting machines could still be abused, but other than that this seems great. Imagine if Vieginia goes Republican during the election.
Every governor should read this and make an EO in their state before Sept 1.
i noticed there is no voter ID required on voting day. Just to register.
Next step - get rid of the tabulators and hand count! The 'black box' counting violates every candidates right to observe the vote.
It is still an executive order. Right or wrong (at least this one is good) no one NO ONE in our republic should have that much power.
Wow... a governor fulfilling the basic duties of the office. A rare thing these days.
Time to Cao bell Kaine and have some representation in the US Senate !
Really great that a state in the backyard of the DC swamp can enact these protections, but here in Arizona the scumbag McStain Republicans continue to do nothing. Pathetic
