Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is under the spotlight after election officials discovered 2,500 fraudulent voter registration forms.
The forms were submitted to the Board of Elections in two separate batches as the registration deadline approached. County officials held a press conference Friday to announce the launch of a significant investigation. Ray DiAgostino, vice chairman of the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners and chairman of the Board of Elections, confirmed the findings.
“As we’ve said throughout this election cycle and years prior, Lancaster County conducts elections with integrity, veracity, and transparency,” DiAgostino said. “It is our duty to ensure voters can feel confident in the process.” Lancaster County is a significant player in Pennsylvania’s electoral landscape, which is itself a key battleground in national elections due to its status as a swing state. As one of the largest counties in Pennsylvania by population, Lancaster has consistently served as a Republican stronghold, contributing substantial margins for GOP candidates.
Board of Elections Issues Bipartisan Statement on Fake Ballot Video
The Bucks County Board of Elections is aware of a video circulated this afternoon on social media purporting to show Bucks County mail-in ballots being opened and destroyed. This video is fake.
The envelope and materials depicted in this video are clearly not authentic materials belonging to or distributed by the Bucks County Board of Elections.
The video has been reported to law enforcement, including the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and the FBI, as well as the Pennsylvania Department of State.
The Board of Elections – Chair Bob Harvie, Vice Chair Diane Ellis-Marseglia and Gene DiGirolamo – have issued the following bipartisan statement:
“This type of behavior is meant to sow division and distrust in our election systems, and makes a mockery of the people working incredibly hard to ensure a free and fair election is carried out. The Board of Elections unequivocally condemns this purposeful spreading of dangerous disinformation. We will not be distracted from the job the voters of Bucks County have entrusted to us.”
Have they realized yet that the masses are ready to burn their shit to the ground and drag them into the street screaming yet? Methinks they are getting the hint.
