Several American media, including ABC and Fox News, report that a Pennsylvania prosecutor has opened an investigation into around thirty voter registration and mail-in ballot applications suspected of fraud.
This case was triggered after election officials in several counties in the state reported suspicious forms, which were immediately removed from the official validation process. Authorities in Monroe County, where some of the applications were filed, found irregularities in the forms received.
Another case in Lancaster County
District Attorney Mike Mancuso said an investigation is underway. He also wanted to reassure the population, indicating that his office “is in regular contact and collaborates with investigators from the Attorney General's office as well as with others.”
The discovery in Pennsylvania echoes other reports of fraudulent registrations in Lancaster County, where local authorities detected two separate mailings of apparently falsified voter registration forms. Investigators found 2,500 forms containing incorrect or unverifiable information, fictitious names and similar signatures, prompting authorities to request an investigation by the Pennsylvania Department of State and the attorney general's office.
“A fair, free and secure election”
Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry expressed support for the investigation, saying efforts are focused on suspect forms and not the ballots themselves. “These attempts were thwarted thanks to the security measures in place in Pennsylvania,” she said in a statement. “We work every day with our partners to guarantee a fair, free and secure election. » Those responsible for any attempted fraud “will be held accountable before the law,” she added.
Meanwhile, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman reiterated his commitment to ensuring a smoother vote counting process, assuring the public that a “cleaner and more efficient” counting process would be put in place to avoid any delays and strengthen voter confidence.
