2/2: Even tho he was behind on mail in ballots after early voting, incumbent Rep. John McGuire got a strong turnout on Election Day to hold his lead, and his House seat. That's where Kiggans & Wittman fell short. Summaries of all 11 VA races by ballot types: epec.info/wp-content/uploads…

Two Independents, Staten & Baker are also on the VA-02 ballot w/ incumbent Kiggans (R) & Luria (D), another reason mail-ins are up. We've been hearing concerns about returned ballots in VBC being stacked in the offices. The data shows this. Observers should be able to see if officials are properly checking outer envelopes w pollpads with so many coming in.
Virginia Beach City is the largest voting locality in VA-02, where incumbent Kiggans (R) is facing Luria (D). VBC somehow managed to process over 18K mail-in ballots in a week (way beyond the norm), then blocked observers. VBC needs to allow observers in. epec.info/wp-content/uploads…
1/2: Observers from the Dept. of Justice are on the ground in select Virginia localities to observe Election Day and ensure lawful balloting. Here's our list of which localities with high rates of mail-in ballots set aside ('unmarked') and ballots to registrations flagged for removal. Full report: epec.substack.com/p/top-va-l…

Comment link is here on the Census rule that will ensure citizens decide apportionment of seats in Congress. Deadline is today: regulations.gov/docket/USBC-…
FINAL 24 HOURS. Census comments close November 2.
Speak up now. Tell the Census Bureau:
• ASK the citizenship question.
• Base congressional apportionment ONLY on U.S. citizens—not legal permanent residents or any other noncitizens.
• Actually COUNT the population. Do not substitute algorithms, extrapolation, administrative records or artificial estimates for enumeration.
A decade of representation deserves a true and accurate count.
Write a brief comment in your own words. Submit it. Then send this link to someone who will act.

A "mail merge" gone awry that restores voting rights to "Betty No Last Name" in VA reflects a larger problem w/ election data quality. See some examples of errors on VA's voter lists and early voting data by @EPECTeam's Rick Naigle. epec.substack.com/p/about-va…
VA Early Vote Summaries show Countable ballots are just past 1.4 m (mail-in + on machine) w/ about 148,262 mail-ins 'still out.' VA has more than surpassed the total early vote from 2025 & 2022 (when 992,227 voted early out of 3M ballots cast). Early Voting in VA ends on Oct. 31.

Fox News article details diligent FOIA work by Virginia Beach attorney Tim Anderson to reveal a restoration of rights letter that went out to "Betty No Last Name" in VA, raising suspicions it was done with an autopen. foxnews.com/politics/dead-fe…
Latest illegal voting arrests are a reminder that 'green card' holders are not citizens & ineligible to vote. Their paperwork stresses this and penalties for voting. Stunning to see how many voted illegally, repeatedly, in N.C. justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-d…
More arrests and more expected to follow around the nation.
🗳️ Justice Department Charges 18 MORE IN NORTH CAROLINA with Illegally Voting in 2024 Election: DOJ Has Charged 30 People in North Carolina this Year for Illegally Voting
“Illegal voting is just that: illegal,” said Acting Deputy Attorney General @PADAGMcCotter. “If you’re not an American citizen, you cannot vote in our federal elections. We want to prevent illegal voting from occurring, which is why we’ve now charged 30 people just in North Carolina who have violated our laws by illegally registering to vote and illegally voting. We need to preserve the integrity of the ballot box by ensuring only those eligible are casting ballots.”

Automatic restoration of voting rights to "Betty No Last Name"
Meet “Betty No Last Name.”
That is the name printed FOUR TIMES on this restoration-of-rights certificate bearing Governor Spanberger’s and Secretary Candi Mundon King’s signatures.
The certificate says the Executive completed a review of “the particulars of the individual’s case.”
There are possible criminal implications here. This is not restoring a dead persons right to vote. This is restoring a non existent persons right to vote. Va. Code § 18.2-472 criminalizes a public officer’s fraudulent false entry in an official record in that officer’s custody. Creating a false restoration record triggers this statute. And get this … a conviction removes the office holder from office and bars them from holding future office….
1/2: EPEC Team’s Senior Data Analyst Rick Naigle reports a 'statistically extreme' # of rejected ('unmarked') mail-in ballots in 15 VA localities during early voting. In some places, as high as 90% of ballots set aside a day. It's way outside the statewide avg. of 1.5% per 100.

VA Early Voting Tallies for Congressional Districts as of 10/21 are only slightly behind 2024 tallies at same time. Fairfax County-area districts (11, 10, 8) have the most mail ballots still out.

Already hearing concerns from elderly VA residents about political activity in their nursing facility.
Still no sign of the CMS memo from July that was issued about protecting elderly residents' voting rights, and guarding against any coercion by staff.
She came to visit her mother—and found an “I Voted Today” sticker.
In Memphis in 2012, Ruth Echols said her mother, Annie Hanna, had advanced Alzheimer’s. Yet she learned Annie had participated in voting at her nursing home.
Ruth wanted answers: Who helped her mother mark the ballot? How were her choices determined? Why hadn’t the family known the visit was happening?
Ruth had legitimate questions but she did not get satisfactory answers.
Don’t assume you know how voting is handled for your loved one. Ask before ballots arrive
Families and engaged citizens can help protect consent, privacy and each voter’s independent choice.
Protect the person. Protect their choice.

Today is the military stand down for voting -- and getting ballots sent back!
media.defense.gov/2026/Oct/0…
Our analysis shows success rates for military mail-in tabulation avg. 30% to just over 50%--way below a 77% avg. success rate for general public. A day off to vote is a great way to ensure mail-in ballots are back in time. thehill.com/policy/defense/6…
We salute the Dept. of War for giving the military a day off to vote no later than Oct. 15. Our analysis shows tabulation success rates for military mail-ins are sometimes half of the general public's success rates w/ mail-in ballots. This ensures they have time to get that ballot back in!
media.defense.gov/2026/Oct/0…
DOJ sends letters to ERIC, CEIR for info about personal info & driver license data they receive from states. "The Homeland Security Department is concerned that the motor vehicle data, which includes identifying information about potential voters, could be used in a partisan way to benefit a political party."
