Election officials in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, said they've found and halted hundreds of fraudulent voter registration applications from a batch of nearly 2,500 that were dropped off at the Board of Elections Office on or just before the voter registration deadline of Oct. 21.
An investigation by the district attorney's office found that the fake applications were linked to one or two organizations that conducted registration drives in the county ahead of the deadline, according to LancasterOnline, but officials did not name the organizations or provide information on who funded the canvassing. District Attorney Heather Adams said the fraud appeared to be an "'organized effort" and that 60% of the applications that have been reviewed contained fraudulent information, but did not say exactly how many of the 2,500 forms have been looked at.
