RICHMOND, Va. Richmond s new General Registrar and Director of Elections Keith Balmer was sworn into office during a Monday morning ceremony. I want everybody to see how we operate in this office, Balmer said while emphasizing he planned to run a transparent office. I think that can sort of allay any fears that people may have.
Balmer began his election career in the warehouse as a machine technician. I walked in trying to do one thing, which was to be an election officer and walked out with a job and it kind of led to all of this 11 years later, he said.
