## About this plate

Two things to carry forward. First, the count is EXACT and RECONCILED (340, facets summing to 340) rather than the "over 100"-style estimate every other state in this group publishes, because DMV exposes it through a faceted search rather than a brochure. Second, Virginia authorises each plate by statute, so unlike Florida, where the count is contested between the agency and Wikipedia and the programme list is a PDF, the Virginia programme list is derivable from a public-domain edict and carries its own history of repeals. If any state in the US pass deserves an L4 specialty depth pass first, it is this one.
