At least three counties in Pennsylvania are conducting investigations into potentially fraudulent mail-in ballot and voter registration applications just one week out from the presidential election. The investigations are taking place in Lancaster County and York County, in addition to one other county that was not identified.
In Lancaster County , District Attorney Heather Adams said the elections department received 2,500 voter applications suspected to be fraudulent. As of their latest update, the investigators determined 60% were fraudulent, while some are legitimate. The inquiry is ongoing.
“Lancaster County detectives began investigating the voter registration applications, and immediately found applications that were indeed fraudulent,” DA Adams said. “Indicators of fraud included: inaccuracies with the address listed on the applications, false personal identification information, as well as false names. A number of the applications also contain names that did not match the provided Social Security information.”
