Former President Donald Trump is calling for the prosecution of those involved in alleged voter fraud in the key battleground state of Pennsylvania.
“We caught them cheating big in Pennsylvania. must announce and prosecute, now! This is a criminal violation of the law. Stop voter fraud! Check out Kamala’s new sleazebag lawyer,” Trump posted in all caps Thursday morning on his Truth Social platform.
On Wednesday, Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams said detectives have identified “hundreds of fraudulent” voter registration applications among a batch of 2,500 dropped off at the county’s elections office on or near the Oct 21 deadline, Lancaster Online reported.
“Lancaster County detectives worked through the weekend to review applications,” Adams said in a statement. The reference to hundreds of questionable applications hints to larger issue in Lancaster County than the ongoing investigations of smaller batches in Monroe and Cambria counties.
Under the new leadership of Chair Michael Whatley and co-Chair Lara Trump, the Republican National Committee has promised to the fully investigate any instances of voting irregularities this election cycle.
“We are on them all this time! Who would have ever thought that our country is so corrupt?” Trump continued in his post.
The Lancaster County Board of Elections said in a statement that the fraudulent applications being identified shows that their normal review process was successful. "Our system worked," the board declared. "We will continue to operate with the highest levels of veracity, integrity, and transparency so that Lancaster County voters can be confident in our election."
