A Pennsylvania county district attorney announced her office believes it has discovered a large-scale voter fraud operation attempting to register thousands of fraudulent voters.
“The elections office received approximately 2,500 applications at or near the deadline for registering to vote. Numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting,” Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams said of her office’s investigation, in a video going viral on social media.

“Applications… contained names that did not match the provided Social Security information,” Adams explained, adding, “individuals listed… informed detectives they did not request the form… and verified the signature… was not theirs.”
The district attorney went on to say that 60% of voters investigated “have been fraudulent.”
“The fraudulent voter registrations are connected to a large-scale canvassing operation… dating back to June,” Adams said, adding she’s aware of two additional counties “that received similar applications that are currently being investigated.”
“Suspected fraudulent voter registration forms were dropped off at the Board of Elections Office in two batches at or near the deadline for submission,” the Lancaster County election board stated Friday. “There are approximately 2,500 voter registration applications total in these two batches.”
News of the district attorney’s findings come as former President Donald Trump on Friday issued a stern warning on social media saying “people that CHEATED will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the Law, which will include long term prison sentences so that this Depravity of Justice does not happen again.”
