Just the News: “The former general registrar of Prince William County, Va., allegedly “altered election results” during the 2020 election, according to court documents recently obtained by Just the News. However, the current general registrar says that his predecessor’s alleged conduct didn’t impact any election outcomes.”
“In a county where President Joe Biden received 54% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election to former President Donald Trump’s 44%, an election official at the time allegedly “altered election results” in the state’s reporting system, leading to three grand jury indictments last year.”
“In September 2022, former Prince William County general registrar Michele White was indicted by a grand jury on two felony counts alleging corrupt conduct as an election official and making a false statement, and one misdemeanor indictment of willful neglect of duty by an election officer. White’s jury trial is set to begin on Jan. 16, 2024, and go until Jan. 26. “

Republicans in Virginia came up short in their efforts to retain the House of Delegates and win control of the State Senate.
Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, occupies the governor’s mansion. Democrats will hold the House of Delegates, flipping it from a narrow Republican control, and will hold the State Senate in January 2024.
Democrats celebrated their wins, saying voters don’t want Youngkin’s “MAGA” policies.
Today, the Republican Party of Virginia released a statement noting the losses were disappointing but vowing to continue to fight for conservative principles.
Tuesday’s results are a reflection of a successful campaign of lies, deception, and scare tactics from Virginia Democrats.
Extreme left-wing interest groups brought in massive amounts of dark money dollars to elect politicians who will serve their interests, not the interests of Virginia voters. The left’s money machine poured millions into dishonest TV ads spreading blatant misinformation about Republican candidates and distracting from Democrat radicalism. Despite Republicans raising record sums through grassroots outreach, Democrat elites and liberal special interests rallied to overcome this advantage with high-dollar donations in the final days of the campaign. One thing this election made clear is that Democrats are absolutely beholden to the left-wing donor class and will do anything for campaign cash.
We commend all of our Republican candidates for running hard-fought races and fighting for Virginia values. We look forward to working with those who won to serve our Commonwealth and help advance Governor Youngkin’s common-sense conservative agenda.
Over the next two years, Governor Youngkin and Republicans in the legislature will continue to be a bulwark against Democrat extremism. We will continue to fight for lower taxes, safer streets, and parental rights, and against Democrat attempts to blow out the budget on insane left-wing pipe dreams, infringe on individual liberties, and infuse toxic left-wing ideology in our schools.
We will not allow extremist Virginia Democrats to turn our Commonwealth into a socialist hellscape like California or New York.
The 2024 elections are less than one year away. The fight continues.
