PA Voter Fraud Case Reveals Vulnerabilities in Our Elections

While mainstream media will say voter fraud cases like these are "extremely rare," the fact that they can happen in the first place reveals widespread vulnerabilities.

In Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, a man named Philip C. Pulley faces charges of voter fraud, which includes double voting and falsely registering in multiple counties. Yet, despite this blatant disregard for electoral integrity, the mainstream media is pushing the narrative that voter fraud is nearly non-existent. 

This man managed to register in Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in Pennsylvania, as well as in Florida’s Broward County, using falsified personal details, including a fake home address and a Social Security number. He’s accused of voting multiple times in the 2020 general election and again in 2022. This case alone punches a significant hole in the overly optimistic “voter fraud is a myth” balloon the mainstream media and woke politicians keep floating.

Despite the gravity of these charges, the mainstream narrative remains unchanged. Like the Philadelphia Inquirer’s reassuring proclamation that this is but a “rare voter fraud case,” the media downplays such incidents to avoid a serious examination of our electoral vulnerabilities. They would rather label it an anomaly than admit that systemic weaknesses invite such fraud. This denial serves to preserve a status quo that is dangerously susceptible to exploitation.

PA Law Allows Voter Fraud Loopholes, But Why?

The Help America Vote Act (HAVA) of 2002 attempts to prevent this kind of fraud by requiring identification verification through a driver’s license or Social Security number. Yet, guidance issued by the Pennsylvania Department of State in 2018 effectively neutered this safeguard. They instructed counties not to reject voter registrations based solely on a mismatch of identification, leaving a gaping loophole for fraudsters to exploit. It would seem incredulous that the state government would leave open potential loopholes in its voting laws unless there was a perceived benefit to certain players within the system. These loopholes, which skeptics argue could pave the way for voter fraud, don’t just materialize from the ether. They are often the result of legislative oversight or perhaps, more cynically, legislative maneuvering.

The logical thread here is straightforward: If a loophole exists and is not swiftly corrected, it’s worth questioning who benefits from its existence. In the realm of voter laws, where the stakes are the integrity of our elections and the foundation of our democracy, such oversights can be catastrophic. It’s a question of political gain rather than bureaucratic negligence.

This case is not about one man exploiting weak points; it’s about a systemic failure that threatens the fabric of our democracy. But don’t hold your breath waiting for the mainstream media to take this issue seriously. For them, it seems electoral integrity is just another pawn in their political gamesmanship.
