Virginia has printed 1 million provisional ballots, an unprecedented
number that could allow a large number of previously disqualified felons
to cast ballots for president in the potentially crucial swing state.
So says Reagan George, the president of the Virginia Voters Alliance.
“In 2012, Fairfax used 2,500 provisional ballots. In 2016, they received over 265,000. This is ridiculous.”
George, a conservative election watchdog, charged on Monday that the
Virginia Department of Elections is overpreparing for worst-case
scenarios and increasing the likelihood of illegal votes being cast. In
reply to Republican complaints earlier this month, Virginia Department
of Elections Commissioner Edgardo Cortés acknowledged officials are
preparing for all contingencies, according to the Richmond
Times-Dispatch.
But George said the provisional ballot printing doesn’t make sense even for contingencies.
