Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, has uncovered approximately 2,500 potentially fraudulent voter registration applications, discovered during the review process just before the registration deadline. County officials noted irregularities, such as identical handwriting and incorrect personal information on many forms, suggesting a coordinated effort behind the submissions. District Attorney Heather Adams indicated that an ongoing investigation has expanded to neighboring counties and involves two unnamed ballot registration groups. Preliminary findings suggest that as many as 60% of these applications may be fraudulent, raising alarms about the integrity of the electoral process in a critical swing state. The county's election board emphasized that their systems worked correctly in flagging these concerns, which have parallels to past scandals in other states. The investigation continues, and officials are urging other counties in Pennsylvania to remain vigilant against similar fraudulent activities.
