rogue emissary

Mail in Ballot question. [View all]

Reading through the absentee ballot instructions. I noticed under the FAQ they were sending out Green Notices requiring people to send in a copy of a photo ID with their ballot if you got one.

Does anybody remember them doing this in the past? I. e. Have they always done this or is it new?

I've voted in VA for my entire life so I didn't always read the ballot instructions. Because I don't trust Youngkin, I read through them today and was surprised they were requiring some people to send in a pic of their ID.
