With early voting underway in Virginia, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) wants residents to know that it's as safe as casting a ballot on Election Day.

The concerns stem from the 2020 presidential election as some conservatives around the nation continue to question the validity of its outcome and whether their votes will be recorded accurately.

"Virginia's elections are secure," Youngkin told the Washington Examiner after a rally for congressional candidate Yesli Vega (R-VA) in Dumfries, Virginia. "We passed three bills this year, we got rid of 'Zuckerbucks,' we update our voter rolls every week, and we make sure that mail-in ballots get assigned right back to the precinct. In Virginia, every ballot is cast on a paper ballot. It is kept. We do not have voting machines. We have counting machines. I went and certified them myself. Voters can trust the election in Virginia."

Youngkin says while changes have been made to ensure voting integrity, more needs to be done.

"We've got to continue to improve our election process and continue to improve people's faith in our election process. And I call on everybody, volunteer. Get engaged and be involved — don't just cast stones from the outside," the governor said.
