Pennsylvania Counties Investigate Fraudulent Voter Registrations

Several counties in Pennsylvania, including Lancaster, York, Monroe, and Cambria, are investigating potentially fraudulent voter registration and mail-in ballot requests. Lancaster County officials discovered that 60% of a batch of 2,500 voter registrations were confirmed as fraudulent, suggesting a large-scale operation since June. York County received a large delivery of voter registrations flagged for irregularities, with election officials stressing the need for thorough checks before making accusations. Monroe County's Board of Elections identified 30 suspicious voter registration forms, which have been referred to the district attorney for further investigation. Meanwhile, mail-in and absentee voting is underway, with significant turnout reported in Pike, Wayne, and Monroe counties as the election approaches. The investigations come amid heightened scrutiny in Pennsylvania, a key battleground state for the upcoming election.
