Lehigh County DA investigating alarming claims of voter fraud

**Integrity in question: Lehigh County DA investigates suspicious voter registrations**

In a troubling development for the upcoming presidential election, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania, has opened an investigation into hundreds of suspicious voter registration applications.

This investigation comes after alarming reports surfaced indicating that many applications were flagged during the elections office’s typical vetting process.

District Attorney Gavin Holihan confirmed the investigation and emphasized that these applications could compromise the integrity of the election process.

While he did not reveal the specific organizations responsible for the submissions, he pointed out that a significant number of these applications were routed through ‘get-out-the-vote’ groups, raising suspicions of organized attempts to manipulate voter lists.

Holihan noted that about 1,800 voter registration applications were submitted just before the Oct. 21 deadline, with about 40% deemed “garbage” — clearly invalid forms that required immediate rejection.

This early detection reflects not only the dedication of local election officials, but also a system that some say is in dire need of reform.

Officials have suggested they need more authority to reject flawed applications, especially those with glaring errors or missing vital information such as names and addresses.

Senator Jarrett Coleman has praised local officials’ efforts to protect the sanctity of the election, and underscored the need for legislative action to punish those who file fraudulent registrations.

Holihan’s research underlines a growing concern among voters about the integrity and security of elections, an issue that resonates deeply within conservative circles.

The potential for bad actors to exploit the system poses a significant risk, and local leaders are working hard to ensure that only legitimate voters have their voices heard.

This incident serves as a solemn reminder that maintaining electoral integrity is critical not only in Lehigh County, but across the country as we approach the crucial 2024 elections.
