Pennsylvania’s top election official confirmed his office is investigating potentially fraudulent voter registration applications after authorities in multiple counties reported the issue.

Noting that the discovery of possibly fraudulent registrations are “absolutely” troubling, Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt told local news outlet ABC27 Sunday that “Lancaster County ... is doing what every county does,” which is to determine whether voter registration applications are legitimate.
