Lancaster County Commissioner Ray D'Agostino on Monday updated voters on an investigation into 2,500 suspicious voter registration forms that were flagged to the county's elections board last month, confirming that 17% of the forms so far are fraudulent.
D'Agostino said the majority of the suspicious forms in Lancaster County have been cleared, with 57% confirmed as valid voter registration applications.
Another 26% are still under investigation because they are incomplete or unverified, and 17% were confirmed as fraudulent.
He also called the operation of vetting the applications a "Painstaking process." Some of the forms that have been confirmed as fraudulent contained correct personal information such as the right address, phone, date of birth, driver's license, and social security number, but the person on the application said they did not request the form, did not complete the form, and verified that the form contained a someone else's signature.
The fraudulent and suspicious forms are not been limited to one specific party.
"While we will not be divulging sensitive information about these investigations, we want to clarify that the investigations regard voter registration forms, not ballots," Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry said last week.
"These attempts have been thwarted by the safeguards in place in Pennsylvania ... The investigations are ongoing, and offenders who perpetrated acts of fraud will be held accountable under the law."
