Election officials in Lancaster County, Penn., have uncovered approximately 2,500 instances of voter registration fraud, the county’s Board of Elections disclosed in a press release Friday morning.
Staff detected the fraudulent applications during routine processing and quickly alerted law enforcement.
The fraudulent forms were submitted to the Board of Elections in two separate batches near the deadline for registration. While the specific nature and scope of the fraud are still under investigation, officials have confirmed that the suspect registrations were flagged during the county’s verification process before being entered into Pennsylvania’s Statewide Uniform Registry of Electors (SURE) System.
The Lancaster County Board of Elections, which includes County Commissioners Ray D’Agostino, Josh Parsons, and Alice Yoder, addressed the findings in a press conference on Friday morning alongside District Attorney Heather Adams.
Despite the incident, the officials said that Lancaster County’s election systems remain secure.
“Our systems worked,” the Board of Elections said in a statement, reassuring residents that they are committed to transparency and ensuring election integrity.
