Why Richmond's new Elections Director made changes after taking over the office before Election Day
RICHMOND, Va. — David Levine became Richmond’s new director of elections in July and said he hopes the changes he's made to the office will rebuild trust with staff and voters ahead of Election Day.
"One of the biggest forms of currency in this business is trust. Trust with the team, trust with the community, and trust with reporters, right?” Levine said.
After speaking with staff, he said he learned the unexpected departure of the director and deputy director left employees frazzled.
In September, 283 voters received incorrect ballots containing the wrong House of Delegates race and a precinct chief was replaced after ballot irregularities on Election Day last November.
