Senator Ryan Aument has issued a statement regarding the discovery of fraudulent voter registration applications in Lancaster County. This follows an announcement by the Lancaster County Commissioners and District Attorney that suspicious applications had been identified and referred for investigation.

"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," said Aument.

The senator praised the efforts of local election workers and law enforcement. "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."

Aument emphasized the importance of maintaining trust in the electoral process, stating, "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."
