US Edition7 charged in 2024 Pennsylvania voter registration fraud that prosecutors say was motivated by money
Seven individuals faced charges for submitting thousands of falsified voter registration forms across three counties, driven by financial incentives rather than political motives, officials said.
- On Friday, Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday announced charges against seven individuals for falsified voter registration forms before the 2024 general election, filed with District Judge John Bender in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
- The yearlong probe began in late October 2024 after Lancaster election workers flagged about 2,500 voter registration forms as potentially fraudulent near the Oct. 21, 2024 registration deadline.
- A court affidavit alleges Guillermo Sainz, 33, instituted unlawful financial incentives that spurred some canvassers to fabricate registration forms to meet quotas.
- County election offices reviewed thousands of applications; York County Office of Elections and Voter Registration examined 3,087 forms and denied about 24 percent for verification issues.
- Sunday added that the motive was personal financial gain, not election tampering, and the Office of the Attorney General pledged to protect Pennsylvanians' voting rights while the investigation remains active.
