Thousands of apparently fraudulent voter applications discovered in Pennsylvania



Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, District Attorney Heather Adams announced Friday that investigators have uncovered evidence of what appears to be a "large scale" voter fraud campaign.

The Republican DA indicated during a press conference that the county's chief clerk of elections and registrar of voter registration, Christa Miller, contacted her earlier in the week regarding what appeared to be fraudulent voter registration applications received by her office.

County commissioner Ray D'Agostino, the chairman of the Lancaster County Board of Elections, confirmed that two separate drop batches, amounting altogether to roughly 2,500 completed applications, were dumped off by individuals near the county's elections office around the time of the Monday deadline.

According to the DA, when preparing to enter the forms into the Statewide Uniform Registry, "staff noticed that numerous applications appeared to have the same handwriting, were filled out on the same day with unknown signatures, and some were previously registered voters and the signatures on file did not match the signatures on the applications."

Adams indicated that in their review so far, investigators have found signs of fraud affecting 60% of the registrations.

The issues encountered have included inaccuracies with the addresses listed on the applications; false personal identifying information, including false names; and inconsistencies between Social Security information and names. While the identifying information on other suspect applications appeared to be correct, the corresponding residents confirmed that they had not requested or completed the forms, and further, that the signatures on the forms were not theirs.

'Our systems worked.'

While most of the applications were supposedly from Lancaster residents, Adams indicated there were also questionable applications received from residents in various other locations including Strasburg, Akron, Ephrata, and Mount Joy.

D'Agostino indicated that the applications from the questionable batches are undergoing an extensive multi-step review and that those deemed eligible will be processed.

"At this point, it is believed that the fraudulent voter registrations are connected to a large scale canvassing operation for voter registrations that date back to June," said Adams. "However, the majority of the applications received are dated August 15 and after."

Adams said that the investigation is ongoing and that she will not comment on who may have dropped off the applications.

The board of elections noted in a statement, "Our Lancaster County Elections system is secure. Our systems worked. We will continue to operate with the highest levels of veracity, integrity, and transparency so that Lancaster County voters can be confident in our election."

President Donald Trump beat President Joe Biden in Lancaster County by over 44,000 votes in 2020.

According to Nate Silver's FiveThirtyEight polling, Trump presently has a slight edge over Harris in Pennsylvania.

Sen. Fetterman recites BLM slogans in celebratory Juneteenth post, but is swiftly reminded of the innocent black jogger he chased down with a shotgun



Sen. John Fetterman (D-Pa.) wished everyone a "Happy Juneteenth" on Monday, noting that extra to celebrating emancipation, the occasion marked a time to "reflect on the long shadow of systemic racism in America."

Some Twitter users obliged the senator in reflecting on the racism of yesteryear, noting a shady moment in Fetterman's own recent past: a 2013 incident when then-Braddock Mayor Fetterman pulled a shotgun on an innocent black jogger, whom he had presumed was fleeing a shooting, reported the New York Post.

Replying to Fetterman's post on Twitter — a recycled tweet from 2022, which also stressed, "PA always stands by the unshakeable truth that Black families matter + Black lives matter" — former Trump campaign communications director and Washington Times columnist Tim Murtaugh tweeted, "Senator, why don’t you tell that story about that time you chased a black jogger and held a shotgun on him because you thought he was a criminal?"

Spencer Brown, the managing editor of Townhall, shared a graphic referencing a New York Times write-up of the event, captioned, "John Fetterman chased down an innocent unarmed black man."

According to Trib Live, Fetterman was outside his home with his son around 4:30 p.m. on Jan. 26, 2013, when he claimed to have heard high-powered rifle shots. After taking his son inside and calling police, Fetterman saw a black jogger running from the direction of the alleged gunshot sounds and inferred that the two were linked.

The police report indicated that extra to being unarmed, Christopher Miyares was dressed in "running clothing and was wearing headphones."

Fetterman pulled a 20-gauge shotgun from beneath the back seat of his truck and chased down Miyares.

The Pennsylvania Democrat admitted that the gun stowed in his truck was loaded, which the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office indicated at the time was illegal.

Fetterman reportedly caught up to the jogger in his truck, ordered him to stop, then brandished his shotgun when he didn't comply.

Miyares told WTAE-TV that the Democrat aimed the shotgun at his chest, which Fetterman denied.

The jogger, who was not charged with any crime, later explained to police that he had seen children playing with bottle rockets, which may have been the source of the sound that prompted the Democrat to presume him guilty.

"I did what I thought was appropriate at the time. I don't have any regrets now. It was just a very confusing and scary situation," said Fetterman.

Fawn Walker-Montgomery, a former city council member from McKeesport, near Braddock, told NBC News last year, "He was a white man with a gun chasing a black man. ... I used to be on the council in McKeesport, and if I chased after a person with a gun, I would still be in jail. He’s showing he’s not aware of his white privilege."

The New York Post reported that while downplaying the incident ahead of the 2022 election, Fetterman also wiped mentions of the identitarian activist group BLM from his campaign site, which had been up until late August.

Pennsylvania House impeaches Soros-backed district attorney who oversaw 'catastrophic rise in crime'



Pennsylvania House Republicans voted on Wednesday to impeach Philadelphia's George Soros-backed district attorney, Larry Krasner. The leftist attorney's fate will now be decided by the Republican-controlled state Senate.

What are the details?

Last month, the state House Select Committee on Restoring Law and Order accused Krasner of contributing "to a catastrophic rise in violent crime at the expense of public safety" and of failing "to integrate and effectuate his progressive policies with any success."

The committee's report on Krasner's failings was accepted by the House on Oct. 24.

The Pennsylvania House Republican Caucus announced on Oct. 26 that the group was filing to impeach Krasner — something the chamber hasn't done since ousting a Democrat state supreme court justice in 1994.

On Tuesday, the articles of impeachment against Krasner were approved by the House Judiciary Committee.

Rep. Martina White (R-Philadelphia) explained to Fox News' "America's Newsroom" why she intended to vote to impeach Krasner: "He has been documented as lying to the courts, including a Supreme Court justice that his aides misled."

"He's been accused of misleading a grand jury and violating the civil rights of a police officer. He has disregarded victims of crime as it pertains to sentencing matters," added White.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that ahead of the impeachment vote on Wednesday, House Speaker Bran Cutler (R-Lancaster) said Krasner had run afoul of the law by attempting to decriminalize or downplay crimes such as petty theft, drug possession, and prostitution.

Cutler stated, "We don't get to ignore laws. ... If we want to change them, we should amend and legislate them differently, not allow one rogue county … to go off the rails and jeopardize the citizens who live there."

\u201c"What is going on right now in Philadelphia affects all of us."\n\n- #PAHouse Speaker Bryan Cutler on the vote to impeach Philly DA Larry Krasner\u201d
— PA House Republicans \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 (@PA House Republicans \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8) 1668628728

Pennsylvania Rep. Tim Bonner (R-Mercer) said "anarchy and violence will prevail" if elected officials like Krasner can pick and choose what laws to obey.

On Wednesday, the state House successfully voted 107-85 in favor of the motion.

Aftermath

Krasner tweeted after the votes were tallied, "History will harshly judge this anti-democratic authoritarian effort to erase Philly's votes – votes by Black, brown, and broke people in Philadelphia. And voters will have the last word."

\u201cPhiladelphians\u2019 votes, and Philadelphia voters, should not be erased. History will harshly judge this anti-democratic authoritarian effort to erase Philly's votes \u2013 votes by Black, brown, and broke people in Philadelphia. And voters will have the last word.\u201d

The impeached Democrat was referencing those who voted to reelect him on Nov. 2, 2021.

Malcom Kenyatta (D-Philadelphia) called the result "sad" and "not what we ought to be doing."

The ACLU of Pennsylvania, whose national board leaders repeatedly called for former President Donald Trump to be impeached, suggested that the use of impeachment for allegedly political purposes was "anti-democratic" and amounted to "absolute political malpractice."

Elizabeth Randol, legislative director at the ACLU of Pennsylvania, said, "This is both a clear political attack on a duly elected official and an effort to disenfranchise the voters of Philadelphia who reelected Mr. Krasner just last year."

Pennsylvania House Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff recognized it as a step in the right direction, saying that by "impeaching Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner, we put ourselves on the record that we stand with the people of Philadelphia who have been living in fear for their lives and the safety of themselves and their families. We are standing up for those who do not have a voice, but long for safety and freedom from fear."

Benninghoff, who was reelected in the November general election, added that Krasner "has implemented policies and mismanaged his office in such a way that its purposeful ineffectiveness in combatting the crime and violence crisis gripping the city has contributed to the problem."

The next step is a trial in the state Senate, the date of which has not yet been set.

The New York Times reported that while the state Senate is controlled by Republicans, the GOP does not have the two-thirds majority required to convict Krasner and give him the boot. Republicans presently have a 29-21 majority, but next year that will be whittled down to a 28-22 majority.

Extra to facing Democrat opposition, there is also reportedly low enthusiasm among Senate Republicans to see this through.

The Democrat overseer of a 'year of record bloodshed'

Philadelphia scores an 8 on Neighborhood Scout's crime index, where 100 is the safest. The likelihood of becoming a victim of a violent crime is 1 in 102.

In 2021, the city set an all-time record with 559 murders.

The Philadelphia Office of the Controller reported that, as of Nov. 15, 459 people have been murdered so far this year: 430 of the killings were the result of shootings; 6% of the shooters were reportedly white; 78% were black; and 15% were Hispanic. There were 1,669 victims of nonfatal gun violence in the city.

The House Select Committee on Restoring Law and Order's "Second Interim Report" indicated that as of October, "65% of all violent offenses have been withdrawn by the [district attorney's office] or dismissed by the courts, resulting in no prosecution for those crimes."

Violent crimes include murders, nonfatal shootings, rape, robberies, and aggravated assault.

According to the report, a great deal of Philadelphia's crime can be attributed to Krasner's progressive policies, his "handling of criminal cases, and ... abject failure to respond, in any meaningful way, to the current crisis."

The report also noted that Krasner's DAO withdraws cases "at an alarming rate" as compared to district attorney's offices in other Pennsylvania counties. "The data reveals that in 2019 and 2020, charges associated with certain firearms offenses were withdrawn by the DAO at a rate of 18% and 20%, respectively, compared to the respective statewide averages of 8% and 10%."

Pennsylvania voters reelect Dem lawmaker who died of cancer last month



A deceased Democratic official won reelection in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. Yes, really.

Democrat Tony DeLuca was the longest-serving member of the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives, serving for nearly 40 years. He died last month at age 85 after battling lymphoma.

But that did not stop voters from reelecting him.

In fact, DeLuca dominated his challenger, Queonia "Zarah" Livingston of the Green Party, by more than 70 points. With more than 95% of the vote counted, DeLuca won with 86% of the vote compared to Livingston's 14%.

Despite his death, election officials were not able to remove DeLuca's name from the ballot in time for Election Day, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported. Still, Pennsylvania Democrats celebrated the victory as one that honors DeLuca's legacy.

"While we're incredibly saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca, we are proud to see the voters to continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by re-electing him posthumously," the Pennsylvania House Democrats said in a statement.

\u201cWhile we're incredibly saddened by the loss of Representative Tony DeLuca, we are proud to see the voters to continue to show their confidence in him and his commitment to Democratic values by re-electing him posthumously. A special election will follow soon.\u201d
— PA House Dems (@PA House Dems) 1667960216

While it is possible that some voters did not know that DeLuca had passed, most voters likely voted for him over his far-left challenger knowing there would later be a special election to fill the seat.

A date for the special election has not yet been established.

The Pennsylvania House Democrats' press secretary, Nicole Reigelman, said DeLuca's "seat will be filled by a special election, likely in early spring," WTAE-TV reported.

Democrats ask women 'and non-men' to join discussion about issues 'that highly impact non-men' in Pennsylvania — and backlash is swift



Democrats in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives are inviting "women and non-men" to participate in a discussion "about issues affecting our communities that highly impact non-men in PA."

\u201cJoin us tomorrow evening for a phone bank where we will be talking to women and non-men about issues affecting our communities that highly impact non-men in PA.\n\nRegister:\nhttps://t.co/qTwbYW8iV0\n\nWe will be joined by PA House Chairwoman @leanne4pa! \n\nSee you at 6pm tomorrow!\u201d
— PA House Dems (@PA House Dems) 1658249024

"We will be joined by PA House Chairwoman [Leanne Krueger]!" the tweet adds excitedly.

However, what arguably drew the most attention was the Democrats' use of the term "non-men" in the post — and the attention wasn't exactly positive.

How did folks react?

After one commenter asked, "What are non-men?" another hilariously responded, "People who are born male but vote Democrat."

The hits just kept on coming:

  • "This is why your entire party is beginning [its] deserved slide into irrelevancy," another user stated.
  • "When you start using that language ('non-men'), you've already lost a ton of voters," another commenter observed.
  • "There is no such thing as 'non-men.' You just made that up," another user said.
  • "You people have got to be smoking crack!" another commenter declared. "I just can't take anyone serious[ly] [who] talks like that. Grow up. Playing pretend is so immature."
  • "Using the term 'non-men' is actually more degrading to women and reinforces the dominant male stereotypes," another user said while adding hypothetical Democrat reasoning: “Calling you a woman is not good enough, so we will put you down by calling you a non-man. We need to remind you of what you are not.”
  • "This will be right up there with Defund the Police as the dumbest things Democrats have pushed upon Americans," another commenter noted.
  • "You freaks have dumped everything related to sanity now, haven't you..." another user wondered.
  • "You can’t just make up your own reality," another commenter wrote. "All this altruistic groupthink is a cover for evil to permeate society; conditioned in the minds of the weak as something good."
  • "I identify as woman, wait I’m a man, wait I'm a woman again," another user quipped.
  • "Vote the politicians backing this anti-science nonsense out of office, or your grandchildren will pay for it," another commenter said.
  • "If you could keep up this rhetoric until after the 2024 election it would be greatly appreciated," another user requested. "After that, you can become sane if you'd like."

Anything else?

Curiously, the scheduled discussion is part of state House Democrats' "Women to Women Wednesdays: A Weekly Phone Bank to PA's Registered Women Voters."
