Man Charged for Voting in 2 States

A 62-year-old man from Huntingdon Valley, Pennsylvania, faces a raft of federal charges for allegedly casting multiple votes in recent elections. The US attorney's office in Philadelphia announced on Friday that Philip C. Pulley is charged with violating federal election laws by submitting false voter registrations, double voting, and committing election fraud. These accusations stem from the 2020 presidential election and the November 2022 midterms.

Specifically, Pulley is accused of registering both in Pennsylvania and Florida, and using a fraudulent address and Social Security number for his Philadelphia registration. Federal prosecutors claim he successfully cast votes in both Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, and Broward County, Florida, during the 2020 election. Additionally, he allegedly voted twice in Pennsylvania, specifically in Philadelphia and Montgomery County, during the 2022 election, when a US Senate seat was at stake.

The case highlights ongoing debates about voter fraud and its prevalence, though an Associated Press review in December 2021 reported fewer than 475 potential voter fraud cases in battleground states, deeming them insufficient to alter significant election outcomes. No lawyer is currently listed for Pulley, and contact information for him remains unavailable. (This story was generated by Newser's AI chatbot. Source: the AP)
