3 politicians are accused of faking mail-in ballots in a 2021 mayoral race in a Philly suburb

MILLBOURNE, Pa. — Three politicians in a small municipality near Philadelphia were indicted this week on charges they tried to fraudulently win the mayoral race in 2021 by producing about three dozen false mail-in ballots. A federal grand jury accused Mohammed Nurul Hasan, Mohammed Munsur Ali and Mohammed Rafikul Islam of conspiring to register people who live outside 1,200-population Millbourne as borough residents, to have mail-in ballots sent to themselves and then to return the completed ballots to the Delaware County elections board. Hasan was serving as vice president of the borough council and had lost the Democratic mayoral primary in the heavily Democratic area. The grand jury accused Hasan and Ali of telling friends who lived outside Millbourne “that they would not get in trouble as long as they did not vote in another election in November 2021,” according to the indictment.
