A criminal investigation is underway in the crucial presidential battleground of Pennsylvania after election workers in one county flagged about 2,500 voter registration forms for potential fraud. Two other counties were alerted to look for similar problems.
The forms arrived at the Lancaster County elections office shortly before the state’s deadline to register this past Monday and were apparently part of a larger effort to sign people up, officials said Friday. Some had false names, suspicious handwriting, questionable signatures, incorrect addresses or other problematic details.
Two other counties “received similar applications” and were notified to check into them, Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams said at a news conference. She declined to name the other counties.
“It appears to be an organized effort at this point,” said Adams, an elected Republican. “But of course, it’s an ongoing investigation. And we’ll be looking into who exactly participated in it and how far up it goes.”
I look this and point out that the system is working as intended and weeding out fraudulent registrations that happen every election and even better recognized and flagged a organized one.
Republicans will undoubtedly look at this and say this is proof that Democrat are trying to rob the system
I will then also say, I am willing to bet fifty bucks that this is because of Republicans because they have a verifiable recent track record of committing election and voter fraud
100% this is a GOP operation. So fucking stupid. Like we aren’t going to figure out where they originate from.
“You see! They cheated! Trump won!”
As they slide more fake ballots into the box.
As someone who lives 1/2 an hour from Lancaster, I’ll bet my hat this is some redneck Pennsyltuckian doing exactly this.
As someone who lives 0 minutes away from Lancaster … Probably!
When Musk offered cash prizes for the registered voter petition, you knew it was going to drive false registrations just to claim it.
Surprise on them… Musk isn’t even paying out!
Apparently, he actually did pay the first two people.
Starting an investigation is headline news, despite a consistent history of this shit being baseless bullshit. The results where either zero or an extremely low number of actusl invalid registrations will be page 8.
All or nearly all of these will end up being people changing their names due to marriage or divorce, people moving, or the completely unscientific handwriting bullshit.
Unless it is Republicans committing the fraud. That is possible I guess.
Fucking Republicans.
80% were deemed as fraudulent. It was a republican. Probably this guy
Awesome. Glad this got caught as the protections are built to do.
