ANOTHER example of republicans committing voter fraud while the gop / greed over people-republican party at every level of government accuses Democrats and the Democratic Party of actively committing voter fraud. BUT the drumpf / trump-vance administration still has the nerve to request voter information from Pennsylvania to make sure voter laws are being enforced! HEY republicans, voter laws in Pennsylvania are being enforced, authorities just caught another republican committing voter fraud in the Commonwealth!

Woman accused of applying for mail-in ballot for deceased father before Pa. primary
By David Chang and Deanna Durante Published August 8, 2025
Cheryl Blake, 45, of Richboro, Pennsylvania, is accused of applying for mail-in ballots for herself and her deceased father before the May primary.
The investigation began on May 13, 2025, when the Bucks County District Attorney’s Office received a complaint from the Voter Registration Office Supervisor of the Bucks County Board of Elections & Voter Office. The supervisor told investigators that an application for a mail-in ballot was completed for Robert Seamans on April 16, 2025. However, after finding his obituary, the office determined that Seamans had died on April 26, 2024, at the age of 81.
Investigators also determined that the email address on his ballot application appeared to belong to his daughter, Cheryl Blake, 45, of Richboro, Pennsylvania. Officials said another mail-in ballot application was completed for Blake for the Pennsylvania primary.
Investigators traced the phone number and email address on both applications back to Blake’s home and determined they were submitted within minutes of each other, according to the criminal complaint. During an interview on Friday, July 18, 2025, Blake allegedly admitted to completing the absentee application for her deceased father from her home. She was charged with unlawful voting and violations relating to absentee/mail-in ballots.
A prosecutor confirmed with NBC10 that Blake did not cast a vote during the Pennsylvania primary, which took place on May 20, 2025.
Blake is listed as a member of the Northampton Township Republican Committee. The chair of the committee told NBC10 he hadn't heard of the allegations and couldn't make an educated comment.
NBC10 went to her home for comment. We were met by a man who asked us to turn off the camera and told us it was “just a stupid thing.”
Blake’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 11, 2025. Online court records don’t list an attorney who could speak on her behalf.
Editor's Note: Cheryl Blake works for NBC Sports Next, a division of NBC Universal.
Trump administration seeks more Pa. voter information, raises potential legal concerns
The U.S. Justice Department is asking Pennsylvania to turn over its complete voter rolls, a request that appears to encompass voters’ personal information, including Social Security and driver’s license numbers.
The request, which Pennsylvania officials received in a letter last week, is part of a recent push to get states to turn over voter registration information, which the federal government says is aimed at enforcing election law.
But one expert told Votebeat and Spotlight PA that the federal government is likely asking for more information than it needs, and that it would be potentially illegal for states to turn over this kind of personal data.
The letter, sent to Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt on Aug. 4, was first reported by The Philadelphia Inquirer. It asks the state for a copy of its voter rolls — which it had not requested in its previous communications with Pennsylvania about election security — as well as information on the state’s answer to a survey about election administration.
“We write to you as the chief election official for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to request information regarding the Commonwealth’s procedures for complying with the statewide voter registration list maintenance provisions of the National Voter Registration Act,” the letter said.
Justin Levitt, a professor at Loyola Law School in California and former civil rights official in the Justice Department, said he thinks the request oversteps the federal government’s authority.
The letter cites the National Voter Registration Act, which provides for voter registration information to be public. But the law doesn’t say that “all fields” in the voter rolls can be made public, as the letter requests.
