Virginia Mandates Paper Ballots for All Elections

Governor Youngkin's executive order aims to enhance election security and ensure every legal vote is counted.

Executive Order 35 requires all votes to be cast on paper ballots, eliminating electronic voting machines.
The order includes strict chain-of-custody protocols and DMV data to verify voter identity.
Since January 2022, over 6,000 non-citizens have been removed from Virginia's voter rolls.
The order mandates a triple-check of election results at precinct, locality, and state levels.
Former President Trump praised the move, urging other states to adopt similar measures.
