Despite declarations of safe and secure elections, history shows that past Pennsylvania elections weren’t immune from corruption.

For example, former U.S. Rep. Michael “Ozzie” Myers, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to deprive voters of civil rights, bribery, obstruction of justice, falsification of voting records, conspiring to illegally vote in a federal election, and orchestrating schemes to fraudulently stuff ballot boxes for specific Democratic candidates in Pennsylvania elections from 2014 to 2018.
