The Lancaster County Board of Elections and the District Attorney’s Office have unveiled a suspected voter registration fraud scheme.
At a press conference scheduled for 11:30 AM in the Commissioners Meeting Room, county officials will detail the findings of their investigation and outline the steps taken to address this serious breach.
Republican County Commissioners Ray D’Agostino, Josh Parsons, and Alice Yoder will join Adams to discuss how the alleged fraud was identified and the implications it may have on the upcoming elections.
According to preliminary reports, the 2,500 suspicious applications were submitted in two large batches just before the voter registration deadline.
The fraudulent applications included inconsistencies like duplicate handwriting, inconsistent signatures, and inaccurate addresses.
The District Attorney’s office is investigating the fraudulent applications and has confirmed that 60% of those reviewed so far have been fraudulent.
The investigation believes the fraudulent voter registrations are connected to a large-scale canvassing operation for voter registrations that dates back to June.
The Lancaster County Board of Elections – consisting of County Commissioners Ray D’Agostino, Josh Parsons and Alice Yoder – together with Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams, will hold a press conference on Friday, October 25 at 11:30 AM in the Commissioners Meeting Room located on the 7th floor of the Lancaster County Government Building.
Board of Elections staff members identified and contained incidents of voter registration fraud. Elections staff and the District Attorney’s office are currently assessing the nature and volume of the fraud.
Suspected fraudulent voter registration forms were dropped off at the Board of Elections Office in two batches at or near the deadline for submission.
There are approximately 2,500 voter registration applications total in these two batches. Concerns were raised during the staff’s normal process to review and enter applications into the Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) System and law enforcement was alerted.
The Board of Elections and District Attorney will provide an update on how these applications have been identified, isolated, and investigated.
