You might wonder “Paco, are you sharing details about #election #security that you shouldn’t share?” I have a high regard for #Fairfax County #Virginia. They make a lot of their #voting training public. You can see the training that I was given on their YouTube channel. All the details I’m sharing are in that training.
I really think they do it right. I have no complaints about how the County does things. But sometimes I think State law is not great. So we follow the law but that can be annoying sometimes.

#Virginia is one of many states that prohibits #firearms and #guns in a #polling place. I’m no lawyer so I don’t really know how long it’s been in its current form. It seems like this law has been on the books a long time (since 1950 with various amendment over the years).
This is the first year we have made much of a fuss about it. We have 2 prominent signs and we got a tiny bit of training on how to handle the situation. (Pretty much tell people the law, try to calmly persuade them to go away and come back to vote without it, and escalate anything serious to 911, who have been prepped for this.)
I’ve been doing this 20 years and I don’t think I’ve ever seen a firearm in a polling place except an active duty police officer in uniform coming in to #vote.

A little live tooting from my job as an #electionofficer on #election2024 .
It’s calm and quiet in 904 - Stonecroft, in #fairfax #virginia. We are nicely over staffed and over prepared. There’s about 2000 registered voters in the precinct and we’ve seen around 100 so far. That might sound low, but it’s hard to judge.
In 2020, I was in a precinct that had about 3200 voters. It had record turnout, like 78%. So around 2500 people voted. But we only saw about 1000 in the polling place on #electionday. So just because the in-person turnout sounds low, we might actually have lots of voting.
This year Virginia started early voting on September 20. So since that date people can go to a number of satellite polling places and vote. And of course there’s absentee by mail or by dropbox.
More as it happens.

👏🏻NEW: In a win for voters, a #Virginia judge rules that Waynesboro County officials are required to certify the results of the 2024 election. This comes after local officials stated they would not certify unless the state allows them to hand count ballots.

nothing to see here, just #JDVance actively encouraging the breaking of laws and the harassment of poll workers in a swing state.
