Court Papers Say Ex-Virginia Election Official On Trial 'Altered Election Results' In 2020 Election

The former general registrar of Prince William County, Va., allegedly "Altered election results" during the 2020 election, according to court documents recently obtained by Just the News.

The current general registrar says that his predecessor's alleged conduct didn't impact any election outcomes.

In a county where President Joe Biden received 54% of the vote in the 2020 presidential election to former President Donald Trump's 44%, an election official at the time allegedly "Altered election results" in the state's reporting system, leading to three grand jury indictments last year.

In September 2022, former Prince William County general registrar Michele White was indicted by a grand jury on two felony counts alleging corrupt conduct as an election official and making a false statement, and one misdemeanor indictment of willful neglect of duty by an election officer.

According to a notice and motion for release of court funds for defense investigation and expert assistance that was filed this past March, White's lawyer stated that the Attorney General's office alleges "White altered election results within the state reporting system, VERIS, and that her alterations resulted in the false reporting of the election results from Prince William County."

The motion asked for the November 2020 election records to be unsealed, as they are "[t]he best evidence of the election results," according to the filing by White's attorneys.

The court ordered the unsealing of the election records later in March for both the prosecution and defense to inspect and copy.
