LANCASTER — Senator Scott Martin (R-13) issued the following statement today regarding the investigation and identification of fraudulent voter registrations in Lancaster County:
“Having a safe and secure election system includes depending on county election workers carefully reviewing materials to root out any potential intentions of fraud or fraudulent actions. I am very grateful, but not surprised, that the Lancaster County Board of Election workers and the Lancaster County District Attorney’s Office did a great job of identifying these fraudulent registrations. The County did its job; now it’s imperative for Secretary Al Schmidt and the Department of State to follow suit and provide all necessary resources and support to boards of elections across this Commonwealth to ensure this hasn’t been perpetuated in any of Pennsylvania’s 67 counties. Those individuals or organizations who engage in undermining the integrity of our elections must be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law so Pennsylvanians can have full confidence in our election system.”
