JUST IN: Woman Charged With Registering Dead People To Vote In Key Swing State

A Pennsylvania woman is facing serious charges after being accused of fraudulently registering dead individuals and fictitious names to vote ahead of the 2024 presidential election. Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer announced the charges during a press conference, describing the case as a significant breach of election integrity.

Jennifer Hill, a resident of Collingdale, is charged with 40 counts related to election fraud, including forgery, after investigators discovered she knowingly submitted fraudulent voter registrations while employed by a voter outreach group. Hill worked as a canvasser for the New Pennsylvania Project, an organization focused on voter registration drives.

Between April and September, Hill reportedly submitted 310 registrations, of which 181 were successful. However, authorities uncovered that at least four of these registrations were fraudulent, including the names of deceased individuals, such as Hill’s own father and a man who died in her home in 2011.

“My understanding is this is sort of a gap in the system where by putting in no date of birth and no social security number… it goes through and it became a verified voter registration,” said Stollsteimer.

He called on the Pennsylvania Department of State to conduct a comprehensive review of all voter registration applications submitted by Hill and the New Pennsylvania Project. He pointed out that the department’s app permitted a fake person to be registered, calling to the the need for legislative changes to enhance security. “We still have gaps in our system that we need to have the legislature address.”

“Let this pair of cases send a message out there that no matter how busy we are … we are attentive to the signs of fraud,” added Delaware County election director Jim Allen.

Investigators explained that Hill’s motive appeared to be padding her performance numbers to impress her employer. Authorities traced the fraudulent submissions to a device provided by the New Pennsylvania Project, which used an app to facilitate voter registration. While most registrations require a Social Security number or driver’s license for verification, loopholes in the system allowed certain applications to slip through, including one under a fictitious name believed to be based on Hill’s grandmother.

Stollsteimer said that while no fraudulent votes were ultimately cast in the 2024 election, the case reveals concerning gaps in the voter registration process. The investigation began when Delaware County election staff noticed unusual patterns in registrations submitted by Hill. They flagged clusters of applications with variations on the same names, some of which were unverifiable. Election officials worked closely with investigators, eventually tracing the fraud back to Hill’s device.

Hill’s charges include multiple counts of forgery, a second-degree felony, each carrying a penalty of up to 10 years in prison. She was taken into custody and is awaiting arraignment.

State Department officials have emphasized that any legislative reforms must originate from the legislature itself. “The Department takes allegations of fraudulent voter registration seriously and works with law enforcement across the Commonwealth to ensure our registration process is safe, free, fair, and secure.”

Officials are calling for a comprehensive review of all registrations submitted by Hill and her employer. The case comes as election integrity remains a critical issue after the 2024 presidential election.
