DA's Office Provides Update On Voter Fraud And Intimidation In Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Philadelphia DA's Election Fraud Task force responded to dozens of voter calls today. But after weeks of rumors about possible voter intimidation, the day went rather smoothly.
Philadelphia District Attorney Seth Williams brief reporters Tuesday afternoon.
"We have had no founded calls of voter intimidation or voter fraud in the city of Philadelphia," he said.
His task force of 70 ADA responded to 68 calls, including 13 complaints of Electioneering and 15 of illegal voter assistance. Williams also received reports about poll watchers, some from out of town, at polling places throughout the city.
"There is nothing illegal about going around the city, polling place to polling place to observe what's happening."
Williams called today's turnout higher than normal, but the number of complaints is similar in numbers to the last three elections. If you have a problem to report, call the DA's office at 215-686-9641.
