Notes
Every State Needs Election Integrity like Virginia’s — One person, One Vote, Properly Counted — and NO Ranked Choice Voting / RCV (08/11/24)
This means: Paper ballots, no machines, precinct level counting, no same-day registration, no mass-mailed absentee ballots, absentee ballots must have a good and limited-scope excuse.
NO STATE should implement Ranked Choice Voting.
EVERY STATE should implement measures contained in Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin’s Executive Order 35 (2024).
This executive order (EO) “protects the casting of legal ballots by legally eligible voters in Virginia's elections, including with stringent ballot security, complete and thorough counting machine testing, and best-in-the-nation voter list maintenance.”
Key features (text from the EO):
Transparency in Voting & Counting
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
Certification of Election Security Procedures
Ballot Security
Counting Machine Testing and Certification
Triple-Check of Election Result Accuracy
Certification of Accuracy of Voter Lists
Daily Updates to protect Voter Lists
Referral for False Claims of Citizenship
Department of Motor Vehicles generates a daily file of all non-citizens transactions, including addresses and document numbers. All registrars must cancel the registrations of non-citizens who have registered to vote in a local, state, or federal election by falsely claiming that they are a citizen.
Awareness Campaign for Election Security
The Department of Elections shall encourage and provide information to all general registrars to post or provide to voters directly regarding election-related offenses and their punishments.
