Arlington, Virginia – On April 7, 2026, a representative of the Virginia Voter Roll Maintenance Movement (VVRMM) appeared before the Arlington Electoral Board to make sure that the Board was aware of anomalies in the voter rolls for 1405 South Fern Street, a UPS store with private mailboxes in Arlington.
The members of the Board are Kimberly Phillip (D- Chairwoman), Dave Leichtman (D), and Dominick Schirripa (R). The April 7th public session was recorded and archived by the representative. As previously reported, the anomalies include potential duplicate records, voters not in a protected status using private mailboxes to register to vote, and election mail (including ballots) sent to that address. Some of the mail was sent despite there being no unit number or mailbox number in poll pad records and, therefore, not on the envelope.
How bad can a private mailbox situation get? In Washington State, hundreds of undelivered ballots addressed to a private mailbox were found abandoned in a box next to a dumpster behind a strip mall. The abandoned mail also included undeliverable voter registration postcards. Some of the addresses on the election mail had no box number, just like in Arlington.
The VVRMM found the anomalies in Arlington in the poll pad during a visit to the Registrar’s office in August 2025. VVRMM advised the Board it had tried to work with the local Registrar, Gretchen Reinemeyer, on this, but only got obfuscation and apparent falsehoods from her. The Registrar ignored VVRMM’s repeated requests for an interview.
The Registrar claimed to have told the Board about 1405 South Fern Street at its October 15, 2025 meeting. However, the address was not discussed in open session (archive video now deleted) and a (now former) Board member told VVRMM that the address wasn’t discussed in closed session, either.
The Registrar also claimed to have fixed the problems at 1405 South Fern Street, but the claim was made before VVRMM laid out the problems, so there is no assurance the issues VVRMM has raised have been addressed.
VVRMM advised the Board that the subject would be written about again. VVRMM hoped to be able to write that Arlington election officials cooperated in the inquiry and provided innocent explanations for the anomalies in the records. VVRMM asked the Board to communicate within a week whether cooperation was forthcoming. Regrettably, the Board did not cooperate.
This conduct does not inspire confidence in Arlington’s elections. No wonder Virginia Democrats don’t want ordinary citizens looking at the voter rolls. They passed legislation during the Governor Northam administration to restrict access to a few select groups.
The ultimate issue is that if the Registrar and the Electoral Board want Arlingtonians to trust elections, they’ll have to do a lot better than this. This is just one address. What other problems are lurking in the rolls? The Arlington Electoral Board is disinterested at best, and complicit at worst, in dirty voter rolls in Arlington and is, therefore, a threat to democracy.
In closing, every experience VVRMM has had with Republican members of the Electoral Board in Northern Virginia has been disappointing. They have shown themselves to be go-along get-along types who will not fight for election integrity.
