A week after charges were dropped against a former election chief in Virginia, county officials have now admitted they underreported roughly 4,000 votes in the 2020 election for now-President Joe Biden.
The admission of the discrepancy arrives a little more than a week after Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, a Republican, dropped a misdemeanor charge for willful neglect against Michele White, the onetime Prince William County registrar and election chief.
Miyares dropped the felony charges against White in December 2023 after prosecutors noted that a key witness opted to change their account. Publicly, details underlying the allegations against White have always been vague, the Washington Post reported on Jan. 3 and on Dec. 2.
