Sen. Ryan Aument (R-36) released the following statement today in response to the Lancaster County Commissioners’ and District Attorney’s announcement that various fraudulent voter registration applications had been discovered in Lancaster County:
“Lancaster County Commissioners announced earlier today that county election workers identified suspicious voter registration applications that they immediately referred to the District Attorney’s office for investigation. Detectives confirmed that some applications were fraudulent, and county officials convened a press conference this morning to alert the public.
“I commend the hard work and diligence of our county election workers as they quickly and accurately process all election applications and requests during this extremely busy time. I also thank the DA’s office for their hard work to swiftly investigate and identify the fraudulent activity.
“This incident should reaffirm our confidence in Lancaster County’s ability to operate a smooth, fair, and secure election, and it should send a strong message to anyone hoping to scam our election system – you will be caught, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
