District attorney in Pennsylvania warns May primary voters to submit only THEIR ballots

J T N

Ahead of Pennsylvania’s primary election in May, Lehigh County District Attorney Jim Martin warned voters that submitting a ballot other than their own could result in prosecution.

The Republican district attorney’s office said in a news release that according to state law, a voter may only submit their own ballot via the mail or a drop box, according to local TV station 69 News.

In a letter to the Lehigh County Election Board on Tuesday, Martin suggested that more prominent signs be placed on and near drop boxes explaining that if voters submit ballots other than their own, then they could face up to a $2,500 fine and/or up to two years in prison upon conviction.

He also said that county detectives will monitor “from time to time” surveillance video of drop box locations during the primary election so that “any persons identified as depositing more that one ballot envelope may be prosecuted and face the penalties set forth in the Election Code.”

Martin’s announcement followed his April 4 report that found “at least 288 people deposited more than one ballot at five area drop-boxes from Oct. 18 and Election Day, Nov. 2, 2021,” the news station also reported.
