Former President Donald Trump has alleged voter fraud in two Pennsylvania counties, York and Lancaster, despite ongoing investigations by officials in both areas. Trump and the Republican National Committee are preparing to challenge voting results if he loses the election. The allegations of potentially fraudulent voter registration applications and fake ballots have been circulating on social media, with claims of voter suppression also being pushed by the Trump campaign. State and county officials have reassured voters that they are investigating any issues with the mail-in ballot process to protect the integrity of the election. In addition, an incident in Delaware County involving a GOP elector, Val Biancaniello, being arrested for allegedly influencing voters was portrayed as voter suppression by Trump allies. The county officials maintained that the woman was being disruptive and that voting continued without disruption. Despite ongoing investigations and lack of clarity on the incident, Republican operatives and influencers are using the incident to further claims of voter suppression. The RNC has also filed an emergency petition to the Supreme Court regarding Pennsylvania’s mail-in ballots. Overall, the allegations of voter fraud and suppression are creating tensions as the election draws near.
