While we've already moved past the 2024 election and escaped it mostly unscathed as far as claims of election fraud, there are still legal situations involving election fraud stemming back to 2021.

According to The Federalist, three Democrats from Millbourne, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to a host of election fraud-related charges "before United States District Judge Harvey Bartle III."

Reportedly, two of the three Democrats are still in office.

The Department of Justice noted that the people involved included "MD Nurul Hasan, 48, MD Munsur Ali, 48, and MD Rafikul Islam, 52."

What happened?

The DOJ, in a statement, described the nature of the three Democrats' attempt to cheat the election.

"The defendants admitted that, to further this conspiracy, they contacted friends and acquaintances whom Hasan and Ali knew did not live in Millbourne, told these non-Millbourne residents that Hasan was running for mayor in Millbourne, asked if they could register the non-Millbourne residents to vote in Millbourne, and then cast mail-in ballots for Hasan to be mayor," the statement read.

It added, "Hasan and Ali persuaded many of their non-Millbourne friends and acquaintances to provide them with personal identification information so that defendants Hasan and Ali could register them to vote in Millbourne. During many of these conversations, Hasan and Ali told their non-Millbourne friends and acquaintances that they would not get in trouble, as long as they did not vote in another election in November 2021."

Multiple charges

The three Democrats allegedly committed all kinds of fraudulent election-related acts and schemes.

"Hasan and Ali also conspired and agreed to use personal identifying information for other non-Millbourne residents, which the two defendants had obtained from other sources, such as Hasan’s business, to register those nonresidents as Millbourne voters without the knowledge of those non-residents," the DOJ's statement added.

Law enforcement officials and DOJ prosecutors applauded the charges.

“Trust in the electoral process is the cornerstone of our democracy. When public officials betray that trust through fraud, they don’t just break the law — they erode confidence in the very institutions that uphold our system,” said Wayne A. Jacobs, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Philadelphia. “The FBI is proud to stand with our partners in safeguarding the integrity of elections at every level of government.”

Consequences

The three men are facing anywhere from seven to 33 election fraud-related charges that they pleaded guilty to as part of a deal.

Sentencing for the three defendants will reportedly take place on June 18.

Hopefully, they will be held accountable for their actions.
