Philadelphia City Commissioner Al Schmidt said Wednesday that despite claims spreading in conservative circles online, there's no evidence that any dead people voted in the city.
"I have seen the most fantastical things on social media, making completely ridiculous allegations that have no basis in fact at all and seen them spread," Schmidt, a Republican co-chair of the three-member panel in charge of the city's elections, told CNN in an interview.
He cited a report about "a long list of people that they said were dead voters who voted in Philadelphia. So, when we took a break between everything else that we're doing, we looked it up, each one of them to see what their vote history was.Not a single one of them voted in Philadelphia after they died," Schmidt said.
The conspiracy theory was shared last week by Rudy Giuliani and Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, among others on the right.
Giuliani, one of President Donald Trump's personal lawyers, told Fox News over the weekend that Philadelphia is “an epicenter of voter fraud” and said “we’re going to be looking at dead persons’ ballots, which may actually be very, very substantial.”
Asked if he had seen any evidence of widespread fraud, Schmidt said, "I have not. If evidence of widespread fraud, or evidence of any fraud at all is brought to our attention, we take a look at it and we refer it to … law enforcement, as we always do in every election."
