Voting Fraud

Yes, voting fraud does exist, despite what you may have read. WGAL reports from Lancaster, Pennsylvania:

Thousands of voter registration forms that are suspected of being fraudulent were dropped off at the Lancaster County Board of Elections Office, according to officials.

The Lancaster County Board of Elections, county commissioners and District Attorney Heather Adams held a news conference at the county administration building Friday morning….

Detectives in the DA’s office are investigating the fraudulent voter registration forms. Adams said they stem from a canvassing operation in the summer at various shopping centers, parking lots, parks and other areas. The investigation involves around 2,500 voter registration applications dropped off last week at two separate times, shortly before Pennsylvania’s voter registration deadline.

Adams said of the applications that have been examined, 60% were fraudulent. She said the remainder should be examined by the end of Friday.

“Staff noticed that numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting (and) were filled out on the same day,” Adams said. “The confirmed indicators of fraud that detectives came across were inaccuracies with the addresses listed on the applications, fake and false personal identification information, as well as false names. Also, applications that had names that did not match the provided Social Security information.”

Particularly concerning is that this happened in Pennsylvania, the “swing” state most likely to cast the deciding votes in the Electoral College, as Florida did in 2000.
