York County, Pennsylvania, received THOUSANDS of potentially FRAUDULENT Voter Registration Forms and Mail-In Ballot Applications from a third party group,” Trump told his millions of followers. There, officials said last week they had received an unusually large volume of election-related materials, including voter registration forms and mail-in ballot applications, from an unnamed third-party group. Trump mischaracterized election investigations in Pennsylvania counties ahead of Election Day "We don’t have a lot of details about these applications, so it’s important we not rush to judgment," Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt said in a news conference on Monday, arguing that the flagged application materials were a sign that elections process was functioning as normal, with built-in checks and balances. The county board of elections said in a statement that it was reviewing the materials, a sign that its “systems worked.” Lancaster officials are not investigating “fake ballots,” as Trump claimed.
