Overview

• Prosecutors have dropped the last remaining charge against Michele White, a former elections official in Prince William County, Virginia, who had been accused of misconduct related to the 2020 elections.
• The most serious charges against White, including felony charges of corrupt conduct and making a false statement, had already been dismissed due to a key witness revising their testimony.
• The case against White was the only criminal prosecution brought by a special Election Integrity Unit formed by Republican Attorney General Jason Miyares in 2022.
• White's attorney, Zachary Stafford, stated that the allegations against White ranged from trivial to serious, but were ultimately disproven.
• The dismissal of the charges is seen as the first step towards recovery for White, who has been described as a dedicated public servant.
