**Security**
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin has taken decisive action to strengthen election integrity in the state by removing over 6,300 non-citizens from the voter rolls.
This move highlights the importance of ensuring that every legal vote counts, especially in an era where election security has become a pressing concern for many voters.
Youngkin's executive order, which was signed this week, mandates the Department of Elections to not only scrub non-citizen registrations but also to eliminate registrations of deceased individuals—totaling nearly 80,000 names.
"The Virginia model for Election Security works," Youngkin declared. "This isn’t a Democrat or Republican issue; it’s an American and Virginian issue."
Critics have pointed out the dangers that arise when voting procedures lack strict verification. In Virginia, the absence of a requirement for voter identification has previously allowed opportunities for fraud, such as illicit impersonation of deceased voters.
With the recent actions taken by Youngkin, the state is taking a bold stand against the vulnerabilities that have been exploited in past elections.
Importantly, his directive also aims to tighten the process for absentee ballots, ensuring that they can only be mailed upon request and that necessary identification details match voter records.
Furthermore, the Governor's office has indicated plans for enhanced cooperation among different jurisdictions to streamline the identification of illegal voters and strengthen enforcement measures.
Youngkin's reforms stand in stark contrast to the extended early voting periods and mail-in voting measures introduced under previous Democrat-led legislation.
As Virginia prepares for upcoming elections, Governor Youngkin's proactive strategies reflect a commitment to safeguarding the electoral process and ensuring that every legitimate voter can confidently cast their ballot without the fear of dilution by illegal votes.
