Money Motivated Pa. Voter Fraud, Prosecutors Say

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — A yearlong investigation into suspected fraudulent voter registration forms in Pennsylvania has led to criminal charges against six street canvassers and their leader. Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday said Friday the fraud was motivated by financial gain, not an attempt to influence election results. The man who led the drives in Pennsylvania is Guillermo Sainz. He is charged with illegally offering money to meet quotas. The six canvassers are charged with forgery and tampering with records. The investigation began in late October 2024 when election workers in one county flagged about 2,500 forms for potential fraud. The forms included all party affiliations.
