Chester County GOP Chair Val DiGiorgio is warning other county chairs and state committee members about fraudulent voter registration forms being submitted by a progressive grassroots organization called Fieldworks, LLC. According to DiGiorgio, the Department of State has instructed county registrars that they must accept registrations from this outfit, even those filed after the deadline.
I've been unable to find any evidence that the Department of State has issued any such directive.
According to the Inky, Pennsylvania State Police have raided a Fieldworks office in Delaware County.
Fieldworks claims it has "zero tolerance for fraud," and is reportedly cooperating in identifying any person who prepared bogus voter registrations.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
this is a good outfit maybe the gop needs to look at themselves and how they try to surpress the vote.
ReplyDeleteAnytime outside organizations "register" voters, the possibility of fraud exists. How can it be determined that all registrations that are collected by outside organizations are actually valid ones? There are plenty of cemeteries with headstones with names on them.
ReplyDeletePeople vote individually. If you want to register, then self-registration can be done as well with positive voter photo identification.

so there is no real difference from signing up with an organization or mailing in a form yourself.
