(WNY News Now) – Attorney General Michelle Henry has addressed recent allegations of fraudulent voter registration forms detected in several Pennsylvania counties, affirming the state’s commitment to a secure electoral process.
HARRISBURG – Attorney General Michelle Henry is sharing the following information and assurance regarding allegations of fraudulent voter registration forms surfacing in multiple Pennsylvania counties:
“Apparent attempts to submit fraudulent voter registration forms in Berks, Lancaster, Monroe, and York counties have been defeated. The Office of Attorney General is working with the respective county officials to investigate those responsible for this conduct. Our office shares jurisdiction with county district attorneys to investigate violations of the state Election Code, and we are taking a collaborative approach to these matters.
While we will not be divulging sensitive information about these investigations, we want to clarify that the investigations regard voter registration forms, not ballots.
These attempts have been thwarted by the safeguards in place in Pennsylvania. We are working every day with our partners to ensure a fair, free, and safe election.
The investigations are ongoing, and offenders who perpetrated acts of fraud will be held accountable under the law.
Pennsylvanians who registered to vote before the deadline should expect to be able to vote on Election Day. Anyone who believes they properly registered to vote and is not on the books on Election Day is entitled to fill out a provisional ballot.”
