Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) has issued an executive order to require all votes for the upcoming November election be cast with a paper ballot.
Executive Order 35, signed on Wednesday, codifies the election security procedures put into place during Youngkin’s administration.
The order outlines several election integrity requirements, including a “documented chain of custody” wherein ballots will be tracked through “every step of the process,” and that no voting machines will be used — just paper ballot-counting machines that are not connected to the internet.
EO 35 also instructs the state’s Department of Elections to remove “non-citizens who may have purposefully or accidentally registered to vote.”
Between January 2022 and July 2024, the Youngkin administration’s records revealed that over 6,300 non-citizens were removed from the voter rolls.
Election officials also found and removed 79,867 deceased individuals from the voter rolls as well as registered voters who had moved out of state.
“The Virginia model for Election Security works. This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue, it’s an American and Virginian issue,” the governor said in a statement.
“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,” Youngkin continued.
He went on to describe the process by which paper ballots are counted and verified:
We use 100 percent 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.

Put resources here!
It’s the only way to be sure.
Good. We are inching toward parity with Iraq and Afghanistan, in terms of vote verifiability.
I’d like to send that guy a thank you email or something what a wonderful governor. Would to heaven that the rest of this country could have legal, honest elections. This nonsense that’s going on now would not have any chance and would never have occurred.
Good for him.
Too bad that some other state will double down on their ballot thefts to make up for it.
He needs to have traffic control at all polling places. Jamming polling sites with long lines and limited parking is a VA common problem in western counties.
Guaranteed some demholes judge will issue an injunction to stop it because racism.
Or climate change.
Wow, an honest election. Imagine that!
Be very cautious.
"I smell a trap"
Paper ballots doesn’t guarantee no fraud, but it does make it more difficult to change votes without some obvious signs.
Cue Elias to sue in federal court.
Hope that Youngkin and the AG are ready for it
“I’d like to send that guy a thank you email or something “
Just do it!
And Kemp and Raffensberger willl not allow this. They’re too corrupt and compromised.
Spaulding County wanted to do it and SOS shot it down
I’d like to be an election worker. The first black that loses HER temper over something silly I’d demand to know: “are you stupid? Can’t you read?!” Let the cops come in, fire me if they have to. Taunt her on the way out in front of everybody. Call her a water buffalo. Something tells me it’s overdue. No more Mr. Nice Guy.
Sounds good, but verify, verify, verify.
Nice! It’s not too late for other states and with the lack of confidence in electronic voting machines it is pretty much necessary.
Too bad he didn’t also put an end to early voting as well.
Now that’s a good start!
