Law enforcement and election officials in Pennsylvania are currently investigating potential election-related fraud as the 2024 election approaches its final days. District attorneys and election officials in Lancaster County and York County are looking into suspicious voter registration materials received from a third-party organization.
Both counties have a majority of registered Republican voters, with York Republicans holding a 63% majority and Lancaster Republicans at 61%. Former President Donald Trump highlighted the allegations of potential fraud in a recent social media post, drawing attention to the issue.
In Lancaster County, authorities announced an investigation into potential fraudulent voter registration forms after receiving approximately 2,500 applications with suspicious similarities. District Attorney Heather Adams revealed that many applications had inaccuracies, false information, and mismatched personal details.
County Commissioner Josh Parsons emphasized the seriousness of the situation, calling it a threat to the election process. In York County, officials are also examining suspicious election-related materials from a third-party organization, with President Commissioner Julie Wheeler stressing the importance of ensuring election integrity.
Pennsylvania, a key battleground state with 19 electoral votes, has been closely watched in recent elections. Trump won the state in 2016, breaking a streak of Democratic victories. In 2020, President Joe Biden carried Pennsylvania by a narrow margin, setting the stage for another closely contested election in 2024.
