Colorado And Pennsylvania Officials Investigating Incidents Of Voter Fraud

Investigations into potential voter fraud are currently underway in Colorado and Pennsylvania. In Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, officials have identified over two thousand potentially fraudulent voter registration applications. The applications, approximately 2,500 in total, were dropped off at the Board of Elections Office in two batches near the submission deadline.

Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams noted that many of the applications appeared to have the same handwriting, and other details, such as addresses, seemed incorrect on some applications. The investigation is ongoing, and officials have not commented on who may have dropped off the potentially fraudulent forms. The county's election board stressed that the flagging of potential fraud indicates that the systems in place are working.

In a separate incident, Colorado officials have discovered that at least 12 mailed ballots were stolen in a rural county and then sent in with fraudulent votes. The issue was discovered during the signature verification process, and eight ballots were stopped at that point.

However, three fraudulent votes slipped past county election officials and were counted in the upcoming general election. A fourth ballot that passed signature verification was caught because someone who had not voted received a notification that their ballot had been accepted.

The fraudulent voting occurred in the same county where former elections clerk Tina Peters was recently sentenced to prison for a data breach scheme spawned from false claims about voter machine fraud in the 2020 election. The fraudulent votes that were counted cannot be removed from the tally because the ballots themselves are not signed, and once they are removed from the signature envelope, there is no way to identify them.
