If you live in Virginia, buckle up—a new wave of absentee-ballot mailers is about to overwhelm mailboxes across the commonwealth, courtesy of the same professional activists who flooded the Old Dominion in 2020.

A newly obtained memo reveals correspondence from a pair of left-wing nonprofits in Washington, DC—the Voter Participation Center (VPC) and Center for Voter Information (CVI)—detailing a plan to flood Virginia with 2 million mail-in ballot applications ahead of the November gubernatorial race. While COVID restrictions were the original justification for expanding mail-in ballots, there appears to be an effort to keep pervasive mail-in balloting as part of American elections for the foreseeable future.

But is this a good thing?

Listen to find out.
