Six Loudoun County residents who allegedly tried to vote twice in last year’s election are under investigation by Virginia State Police.
Samantha Shepherd, a spokeswoman for the Loudoun County Office of Elections and Voter Registration, said the voters may have forgotten they voted early or by mail when they showed up at the polls on Election Day.
Shepherd said the voters were issued provisional ballots, but their ballots weren’t counted when officials found they had already voted. A total of 141,012 voters casts ballots in Loudoun in November.
“It’s not anything that diminishes the integrity of the system or the integrity of Loudoun County elections,” Shepherd said. “It is people who may have forgotten, or gotten confused. The votes that were supposed to count were counted.”
Shepherd said because six voters was a higher number than in past elections, the Board of Elections recommended in December that the VSP be notified. As of Jan. 31, the investigation was ongoing, according to Corinne Geller, a VSP spokeswoman.
Shepherd said in past elections, older people have tried occasionally to vote on Election Day having forgotten that they voted early. Shepherd, who was hired in 2021, said she regularly visits nursing homes for voter education sessions. She said the residents sometimes request a mailed ballot not having realized they’d already been sent one and cast a ballot.
And just like that, after a year, the Virginia State Police crack down on 0.001 percent of election fraud crime. In another millennia, Virginia should be able to have honest elections.
Wow. Virginians can hardly wait.
Only letting people vote once is what Democrats call “voter suppression.”
Gvir needs to be PM.
Adding six votes is a crime.
Adding 20 million votes is a statistic.
Most likely scenario.
Six is a drop in the bucket.
What they need to do is go after the crooks who fill in fraudulent ballots and deliberately miscount and throw out ballots they don’t like.
I’d like to see how many people vote in multiple states.
There’s no excuse for not having a national database that can be cross-checked for that.
My wife and I received vote-by-mail ballot applications for Champaign County from their incompetent, ex-felon County Clerk after we moved out-of-state. We didn’t vote in both states... but it makes me wonder how many people did.
These six were caught because they tried to vote twice with the same registration name and address.
The real fraud in Loudoun, Fairfax, Arlington, and Alexandria Virginia is with those democrats who vote multiple times using other people - dead ones, moved ones, out-of-state college ones, green card ones, dutifully registered illegal alien ones, nursing home and demented ones, which has been enough to turn once solid red Virginia in 2004 to permanent blue in less than 20 years.
This kind of crap is now becoming routine in VA.
Bkmk
Probably Republicans. Perish the thought that RATS would do that.
Or they didn’t vote by mail.
Bet your ass all six culprits are DemocRATS.
That about sums it up.
Was there ever a doubt?
Historically, mail-in / absentee ballots had rejection rates of around 5%. Starting around, 2020 the rejection rate fell to about .1%. I guess voters are suddenly much more careful when preparing their ballot and the respective envelope.
