Richmond, Va. (Newsradiowrva.com) -  Both the State Senate and the House of Delegates have approved the use of ballot boxes to collect absentee ballots for the November election.  The chambers also approved two million dollars to pay for postage for absentee ballots.

Republicans say the system is ripe for fraud, and argued that the boxes themselves will be unsecure.  Democrats say there will be security measures in place, and that election fraud is actually quite rare.  They argue the measures are needed to allow voting in a pandemic.


Both initiatives are favored by Governor Ralph Northam.
