ACLU of PA – October 20, 2024 – Advocates Urge Lancaster County to Follow the Law and Honor Valid Student Voter Registrations Ahead of Deadline Lancaster, Pa. – Two leading voting rights organizations are urging all Pennsylvania counties to follow the law and honor valid student voter registrations ahead of tomorrow’s deadline to register in Pennsylvania. This comes after multiple reports of Lancaster County putting valid student registrations at risk of not being processed in time. The American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania sent a letter yesterday to Lancaster County following reports of a county election official preventing otherwise eligible voters from registering to vote by giving voters incorrect information about the process, resulting in the failure of voters to be registered. The reports involve students and faculty attempting to register who attend or work at Franklin and Marshall College.

AP – Pennsylvania county says 2,500 voter registrations being investigated for possible fraud – By MARK SCOLFORO – Updated 8:53 PM EDT, October 25, 2024 Two other unnamed counties received similar applications and were notified to check into them, Lancaster County District Attorney Heather Adams said at a news conference. She said election workers “noticed that numerous applications” had similarities, but officials did not indicate the volume of suspicious applications or say how many applications had already been fully investigated. “It appears to be an organized effort at this point,” said Adams, an elected Republican. “But of course, it’s an ongoing investigation. And we’ll be looking into who exactly participated in it and how far up it goes.”

ProPublica – Right-Wing Activists Pushed False Claims About Election Fraud. Now They’re Recruiting Poll Workers in Swing States. Experts say these poll workers could sow distrust in democracy and bolster court cases challenging the election. ProPublica and Wisconsin Watch reviewed dozens of hours of trainings and presentations in which activists discussed their plans. by Phoebe Petrovic, Wisconsin Watch Oct. 16, 6 a.m. EDT “Who is interested in obeying God, election integrity and getting paid to do it? All right, stand up. We’re going to induct you.” Dozens in the crowd stood, heads bowed and arms raised. “I pray for an anointing. Angels will go with them, and they’ll expose the hidden works of darkness,” Wallnau said. “They’ll be led to discover whatever nefarious things are being done by the darkness.” Wallnau did similar recruiting in Arizona, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, directing attendees to Lion of Judah. The organization, which features Trump prominently on its website, offers a free course titled “Fight the Fraud,” with modules detailing poll workers’ basic duties and helping people find their local elections offices so they can apply as well as email templates to streamline the process. It tells students that “election workers matter now more than ever” because the “threat of election fraud is a serious concern” and “what happened in 2020 can never happen again!”

Episode 129 October 25, 2024 Clara Broekaert: “From where I’m sitting I’m thinking what that interaction looks like between this clearly very ideologically driven person was recruited by an activist, versus the average poll worker who sits there and just wants to do their work and administer the election.”
