In a recent revelation, Heather Adams, the District Attorney of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, unveiled what seems to be a significant voter fraud operation.
The Republican DA shared this information during a press briefing, stating that the county's chief clerk of elections and registrar of voter registration, Christa Miller, had alerted her to suspicious voter registration applications.
As reported by The Blaze, Ray D'Agostino, the chairman of the Lancaster County Board of Elections, confirmed that two separate batches of applications, totaling approximately 2,500, were suspiciously dropped off near the county's elections office around the deadline. The DA's office, while processing these forms into the Statewide Uniform Registry, noticed several anomalies. "Staff noticed that numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting, were filled out on the same day with unknown signatures, and some were previously registered voters and the signatures on file did not match the signatures on the applications," Adams stated.
The investigation thus far has revealed indications of fraudulent activity in about 60% of the registrations. The irregularities ranged from incorrect addresses on the applications to false personal identifying information, including fake names, and discrepancies between Social Security information and names. In some cases, while the identifying information seemed accurate, the actual residents confirmed they had not requested or completed the forms, and the signatures on the forms were not theirs.
Despite the majority of the dubious applications allegedly originating from Lancaster residents, Adams also pointed out that questionable applications were received from residents in various other locations, including Strasburg, Akron, Ephrata, and Mount Joy. D'Agostino assured that the applications from the questionable batches are undergoing a comprehensive multi-step review, and only those deemed eligible will be processed.
Adams suggested that the fraudulent voter registrations might be linked to a large-scale canvassing operation for voter registrations dating back to June. "However, the majority of the applications received are dated August 15 and after," she added. While the investigation is still underway, Adams refrained from commenting on who might have dropped off the applications.
The board of elections, in a statement, reassured the public of the security of their system. "Our Lancaster County Elections system is secure. Our systems worked. We will continue to operate with the highest levels of veracity, integrity, and transparency so that Lancaster County voters can be confident in our election."
In the 2020 election, President Donald Trump outperformed President Joe Biden in Lancaster County by over 44,000 votes. Current polling data from Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight suggests that Trump holds a slight advantage over Harris in Pennsylvania. This incident underscores the importance of vigilance in maintaining the integrity of our electoral system.
