n Lancaster, officials say, some 2,500 voter registration requests arrived last week in two large batches. Election workers noticed some had the same handwriting, many shared the same date, and some had other anomalies, officials said.
The county investigated and found 60 percent were confirmed as “fraudulent,” according to Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams. She said Lancaster County officials suspect the fraudulent applications are part of a “large-scale” operation that has been underway since June. It is not yet known who was behind the large batches of voting requests, officials said.
A Monroe County official told The Federalist Monday night that during its normal review of voter registration forms received in its office, Monroe County Board of Elections staff members “recently identified approximately 30 irregular forms.” Those forms have been segregated. The matter was referred to the Monroe County district attorney, whose office continues to investigate. The county would not answer further questions and said additional updates will be provided when available.
