This happened in Roanoke, which is left leaning. Republicans are going all out to cheat in this election.
Edit: Here is the law on tampering with ballots in Virginia. Class 5 felony

No, there’s not. There’s a record of who voted. There is a record of your political party in most states. There is no record of who you actually voted for.
The majority of votes in the USA are electronically counted, and a ballot itself is a record of a vote as well. What there isn’t is a searchable index of who voted for what, and I apologize for my unclear language.
But the likelihood of oppression based on availability of those vote records is still very much there even if the voter themself doesn’t have access.
