republican presidential candidate donald trump ripped apart the facts of two possible cases of voter fraud in Pennsylvania in a post on X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday.

“Wow! York County, Pennsylvania received THOUSANDS of potentially FRAUDULENT voter registration forms and mail-in ballot applications from a group of third parties,” Trump wrote in his post. “This is in addition to Lancaster County was discovered with 2600 fake ballots and forms, all written by the same person. Really bad “stuff” WHAT’S GOING ON IN PENNSYLVANIA??? Law enforcement needs to do their job immediately!!! !!!”

While it is true that there have been reports of possible electoral irregularities in both York and Lancaster County, the former president did not accurately describe any of the cases.

In the first case, county officials have said they are reviewing thousands of voter registration forms and mail-in ballot applications from third-party Field+Media Corps, a progressive political campaign firm. That process, however, is standard practice.

“As with all submissions, our staff follows a process to ensure that all voter registrations and mail-in ballot requests are legal. That process is currently underway. If suspected fraud is identified, we will alert the District Attorney’s Office, which will then conduct an investigation. “We will not be commenting further until our internal review is complete,” explained the York County Presiding Commissioner. Julia Wheeler in a statement.

“It’s not unusual to receive large amounts of voter registrations or large amounts of mail-in ballot requests, it’s just an overabundance of records from a particular organization,” Wheeler said. said a local Fox affiliate. “We’re in a phase where we need to do our homework before making accusations when we don’t have the data to back them up.”

Meanwhile, in Lancaster County, officials are investigating about 2,500 voter registration applications, not fake ballots.

“We have confirmed the violation of our penal code and our electoral code. We have every available detective working on this. “We are all hands on deck so we can properly evaluate the validity of these requests in a timely manner,” the District Attorney said. Heather Adams during a press conference last Friday.

Adamas also revealed that around 60% of the forms have already been confirmed to be fraudulent, others “appear to be legitimate”. by NBC News.

The forms were delivered on October 21 by an as-yet-unidentified “large-scale canvassing operation.”

Trump’s manipulation of facts is notable given his baseless claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to large-scale voter fraud. Those claims ultimately culminated in an attempt to steal the election from the legitimate winner, the President joe bidenas well as the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
