Officials held a press conference Friday morning to address the discovery of approximately 2,500 potentially fraudulent voter registration applications.
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 District Attorney’s office is encouraging anyone who believes their personal information may have been used on a fraudulent voter registration application to contact them.
