Lancaster County Probes Voter Fraud Amid Legal Rulings

A recent ruling by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals struck down a Mississippi law allowing mail ballots postmarked by Election Day to be counted if they arrived later, citing federal law preemption. In Pennsylvania, an investigation has been launched in Lancaster County after officials detected approximately 2,500 suspected fraudulent voter registration applications linked to recent registration drives, raising security concerns. The Pennsylvania Supreme Court ruled that counties must accept provisional ballots when mail-in ballots are rejected due to voter error, a decision Republicans are challenging at the U.S. Supreme Court. Additionally, in Erie County, PA, nearly 300 duplicate ballots were mistakenly sent to voters due to a vendor's addressing system error, though officials assured that measures are in place to prevent double voting.
