Virginia's online voter registration website experienced high levels of activity on October 17th, the final day of online voter registration. The high levels of activity put a strain on the servers and forced them to shut down for a couple of times throughout the day. The Virginian Department of Elections worked tirelessly to fix the glitches and allow voters to register for the November elections.
