Pennsylvania Man Charged with 5 Federal Counts of Election Fraud

Philip C. Pulley, a 62-year-old man from Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, has been charged with five federal counts, including election fraud, for allegedly voting in both Florida and Pennsylvania during the 2020 presidential election, and twice in Pennsylvania during the 2022 midterm elections. Pulley is accused of using a fake address and Social Security number to register to vote in Philadelphia while already being registered in Montgomery County, PA, and Broward County, FL. He reportedly cast ballots in all three locations in 2020 and voted twice in Pennsylvania in 2022. Pulley, who switched his party affiliation from Republican to Democrat in different jurisdictions, faces up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000 if convicted. The case underscores ongoing debates about voter fraud, though an Associated Press review found such cases to be too few to impact significant election outcomes. Pulley currently does not have a listed attorney.
