Pa. Official: 17 Percent of Flagged Registration Forms Fraudulent

https://www.newsmax.com/politics/lancaster-pennsylvania-election/2024/11/04/id/1186620/

 

Ray D'Agostino, the county commissioner for Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, on Monday said of the approximately 2,500 voter registration forms officials flagged as suspicious, 57% have been verified as valid, 17% confirmed as fraudulent and 26% are still being investigated.

 

"We spoke to the district attorney this morning about the suspicious and, in some cases, fraudulent voter registration applications," D'Agostino said.

 

"The investigation is still going on, so we can't get into too much detail in accordance with the district attorney's desires because of that investigation. But thanks to her staff, which have been on top of this since I guess was Monday last week when this whole two batches were provided to the district attorney's office, they began immediately investigating those and have been doing so ever since working with our elections board staff."

 

Thousands of mail ballot applications in 14 Pennsylvania counties have been challenged by activists, according to VoteBeat Pennsylvania.

 

"Throughout the day on Friday, several bad-faith mass challenges were filed in a coordinated effort in counties across the commonwealth to question the qualifications of thousands of registered Pennsylvania voters who applied to vote by mail ballot," Amy Gulli, spokesperson for the Pennsylvania Department of State, told the news outlet. "These challenges are based on theories that courts have repeatedly rejected."

 

The bulk of the new challenges claim that any voter living outside the United States is not technically eligible to register as a Pennsylvania voter.

 

"I've been … taking frantic phone calls from overseas from all of these people," said Forrest Lehman, election director in Lycoming County, which received 71 challenges. "It's been emotionally draining."

Fencing Erected at WH, Capitol Ahead of Election

Bracing for potential unrest in the aftermath of Tuesday’s presidential election, federal and District authorities are installing security “enhancements” in Washington, D.C., with fencing around the White House, Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence and the U.S. Capitol.

 

In addition, 8-foot fencing also now surrounds the Treasury Department complex and parts of Lafayette Square and the Naval Observatory, measures implemented by the U.S. Secret Service that “are part of wide ranging public safety preparations for Tuesday’s election,” the agency said in a statement on Sunday.

 

The Secret Service is doing the same at the convention center in Palm Beach, Florida, where Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is hosting an election-night party, The Washington Post reported.

 

D.C. police announced road closures that will take effect Monday night around Howard University, where Harris will hold her election-night party Tuesday night.

 

“The Secret Service is working closely with federal, state and local partners in Washington, DC and Palm Beach County, Florida to ensure heightened levels of Election Day safety and security,” the Secret Service said in its statement. “These enhancements are not in response to any specific issue but are part of wide ranging public safety preparations for Tuesday’s election.”

 

The added security measures are being undertaken by business and property owners in D.C. as well with the Jan. 6, 2021, riots on Capitol Hill still fresh in the memory in the aftermath of the 2020 election.

 

Shops around D.C. are boarded up or have added their own security fencing around businesses in the event of looting this week.

 

“There is concern around the city. We’re not expecting full-fledged pandemonium like we saw after Jan. 6 or four years ago,” Eric J. Jones, vice president of government affairs for the Apartment and Office Building Association of Metropolitan Washington, told the Post, referring also to the George Floyd riots in May 2020. “Honestly, it’s just fear.”

 

He added, “People would rather be overprepared and have nothing happen, as opposed to the alternative.”

 

All 3,300 District police officers will be deployed in 12-hour shifts, according to the report.

 

Also, one private security firm is mobilizing around 2,000 security guards to help protect their client businesses that are close in proximity to the White House and Capitol, according to the Post.
