In a fresh blow to Americans’ confidence in elections, prosecutors in a key Pennsylvania county said Friday they had uncovered a large-scale scheme to submit fraudulent voter applications that were collected at shopping malls and other locations.
Lancaster District Attorney Heather Adams told a news conference that detectives have found about 60% of some 2,500 election registrations submitted in recent days to the county’s election office were fraudulent.
“At this point, it is believed that the fraudulent voter registrations are connected to a large-scale canvassing operation for voter registrations that date back to June,” Adams said.
The prosecutor said that while detectives continue to review applications they have confirmed fake names, identifications and signatures were used to submit applications and create potentially fake voters. In some cases, real voters’ names were used but the voter said they neither approved nor signed the registrations.
“At this point we have confirmed violations of our crime code,” Adams said.
She added that she was aware of at least two other counties that may have similar concerns about recent voter applications dropped off in large batches.
“Staff noticed that numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting (and) were filled out on the same day,” Adams said during the press conference.
“The confirmed indicators of fraud that detectives came across were inaccuracies with the addresses listed on the applications, fake and false personal identification information, as well as false names,” she continued. “Also, applications that had names that did not match the provided Social Security information.”
Lancaster is a politically influential county in the battleground state and home to a large Amish population that both parties have courted.
Pennsylvania’s State Department, which oversees elections, praised Lancaster County for its quick actions.
“The Department has been in contact with the county and is offering support in its ongoing investigation. The Department applauds the efforts of the election staff for their diligent work in spotting this potential fraud and bringing it to the attention of law enforcement,” the agency said in a statement.
“The Department guidance in cases like this is for counties to immediately contact law enforcement, which is exactly what Lancaster County officials did,” the statement added.
The scheme uncovered in Lancaster County mirrors a similar operation that Michigan police uncovered in 2020 in Muskegon that was referred to the FBI, which has yet to announce any arrests or charges.

Remember when Old Joe Biden made a slip a while back and stated that the Democrat Party had created the best voter fraud operation ever? Everyone on TV laughed and chalked it up to a gaff by the idiot in chief. The MSM quickly swept the story and videoi footage under the rug. Yet in reality, Biden just slipped and accidently stated the truth for once. The Democrats have NO INTENTION of handing back control of the federal government to the people of the United States. So, expect all sorts of questionable legal actions, by both the DOJ and FBI, leading right up the election across the country and likely well after as well. Strap in because it is going to be a bumpy ride.
Here we go again. And again; ACORN all over again? I bet if every state were audited, Pennsylvania wouldn’t be alone!
This problem in Lancaster and now the issue of “cutting off voters in line” in nearby Delaware County. Pennsylvania is important in this election so Republicans better get this crap stopped soon or it will be too late.
Collected in malls and other locations…were people filling out paperwork for something else? Sadly we the people need to question absolutely everything. We refuse to give our phone number to check out in some stores. They don’t need your cell number to take your money. Just say no. Same with any paperwork. If need be ask a simple question. Do you want my money or not? Never fill out anything for random people in a mall for store. Think about what you are doing.
Can’t they get fingerprints on those ballots and maybe arrest them now, to at least scare those who are in the process of doing same? I bet they are Democrats?
If this is what’s going to happen just like 480000 votes showing up at 330am in the last election. The DOJ and the Supreme Court should state that the State of Pennsylvania forfeits it’s voting rights in this election for cheating. Punishment should be that all of their votes and electoral college votes shouldn’t even be counted in this election due all the fraud that is going to take place in that state. Counting all the mail in fraud ballots on the night of the election is insane when 2 million of them already voted they should be counting and detecting the fraud now. Its a terrible law which opens up everything for cheating.
Not once did they mention who’s scheme it is or whom it benefits. We know of course, but you know what they say about assuming….it needs to be ‘stated’ and be out with it.
And- I’m concerned about all the other chicanery we do not as yet know about or may never know about. How do we enjoy a civil society with people capable of lawbreaking? We don’t share the same set of values.
Stupid question, will anyone be charged?
It’s just another typical scheme by the leftist criminals to produce illegal votes at any cost! They are so out of their mind with power that they would gladly risk prison time just for “the party”!
We knew this was going to happen,the same as 2020,and it wasn’t the Republicans.The leftists will cheat and they won’t catch them all.It’s really too bad that we can’t have an honest election,but,maybe we never have.It’s just that the way the world is now we do not need a uncaring politician in charge of getting this country back to the AMERICA the way it should be,today it is a total leftist screwed up mess.
Here in Phoenix, a few years ago, my son who is a felon, served his time, and is now a free man … was approached and asked if he was a registered voter. He said that he lost his rights with his felony … and the democrat, that approached him, says “I won’t tell if you don’t!” My son walked away. Now he has his civil rights back (though still unable to own a gun and protect his family) … and will be voting this year for Donald Trump, with his daughter who is now old enough to vote, but never has before … so 2 more votes for DJT.
This is eye opening info – not unexpected based on the cheating in the last election. The larger question is how many other schemes are in process of stealing this election. Our confidence in fair and free elections has been shaken by the democrats thirst for power. As Obama and Stalin have stated in the past – the results of an election is not dependent on who votes in an election but who is counting the votes. I have no faith in the states and counties dominated by the dems – they will stop at nothing to win. Any oversight to ensure a true and fair outcome is fallacy. The foundation of our republic along with the first amendment is being destroyed by new socialist democrats. Be careful – don’t speak up and risk investigation and jail – just go along with the narrative, your life will be easier. I feel like I am living in a dystopian novel published in the 70’s. The only solution is to speak up! Take action and make change- unless you want to live in the new version of Venezuela! Keep the faith and don’t give up!
No European country allows mail-in ballots for everyone. You show up to vote with an ID card. Very limited ballots are allowed for people who can’t vote in person.
We are losing control of our elections. For instance, when I registered to vote in a liberal town where I live in Massachusetts, the only requirement was a utility bill with my address. When I asked the Town Clerk how does he know that I am a citizen, his response was “the honor system”. I am a legal immigrant and a citizen. I was very shocked. Would the government accept the honor system when we file our income taxes? Why do they collect every document from banks, brokerage accounts? It’s obvious the government does not trust us so why is the government so trustworthy when we vote without any proof of citizenship? It’s obvious, there is cheating and I have witnessed it in my town.
The system must be changed. Why not look to Europe? We look to Europe for everything else. Who were the imbeciles who came up with the idea of ballot boxes on street corners that can easily be vandalized?
So how many have the Rats been able to get through in all that time, I wonder?
IMO
gken s is a bigoted nut job. Vote TRUMP!

Precisely! And this is exactly why we still have numerous problems with voter fraud! No one is EVER held to account! There doesn’t seem to be any interest in cleaning up our national elections! So, this will happen again and again and again until the American public gets tired enough to demand solutions. I only hope that it’s not too late!
Of course the FBI hasn’t pressed any charges; they do Biden’s corrupt bidding and his party NEEDS voter fraud.
Voter fraud needs to be treated as an act of treason. The penalties should be huge and swift and should include the option of death. In my opinion, when people commit voter fraud it is levying war against all US Citizens and is also aiding and abetting the enemy on our soil.
18 U.S.C §2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
(June 25, 1948, ch. 645, 62 Stat. 807; Pub. L. 103–322, title XXXIII, §330016(2)(J), Sept. 13, 1994, 108 Stat. 2148.)
Voter fraud is an outrageous act that must be met with equal consequences. We need to outlaw communism, socialism, marxism, maoism, and all other ideologies that run counter to the US Constitution and Bill of Rights.
We the People must not tolerate this garbage anymore. These people are evil degenerates who are perverting our society and they must be rooted out and removed on all levels. Their intent is to bankrupt and destroy our Country, and to take away our sovereignty. If you value your freedom and want to keep your inalienable rights, vote all “democrats” out of office!
Ridiculous! There’s no such thing as voter fraud. Democrats have said so!
Don’t know why this is such a big deal, It’s just democrats doing typical democratic things……
