Glenn Youngkin’s administration says it has taken a series of recent steps to improve the accuracy of the state’s voter rolls, including entering into new data-sharing agreements with five states and Washington, D.C. The announcement Wednesday came months after Virginia joined the growing number of states leaving a bipartisan, data-sharing interstate compact intended to combat voter fraud.
