Virginia's State Board of Elections has decided its current generation of electronic voting machines is potentially vulnerable, and wants them replaced in time for the gubernatorial election due on November 7th, 2017.
The decision was announced in the minutes of the Board's September 8th meeting: "The Department of Elections officially recommends that the State Board of Elections decertify all Direct Recording Electronic (DRE or touchscreen) voting equipment."
In addition to the "current security environment", the report cites the DefCon demonstration in July that showed how quickly DRE voting systems could be pwned.

Virginia voter here. In my county we've been using scanned fill-in-the-bubble paper ballots for the past several years. They used to have the old touchscreen windows machines but they dumped them and made the sensible choice with the current system: instant tabulation with paper backup records.
I'm not sure how many counties were still using those old systems.
