Pennsylvania officials on Friday announced that a woman has been arrested and charged for attempting to fraudulently register people, including deceased ones, to vote in the state.
According to NBC 10, 38-year-old Jennifer Hill, of Collingdale, Pennsylvania, was charged with forgery, tampering with public record/information, applying for registration knowing the individual is not entitled to registration and other counts.

Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer said in a press conference that Hill would use the app provided by the Pennsylvania Department of State to register voters.
The app requires certain pieces of information, like a driver’s license or the last four digits of a person’s social security number, to successfully register. When a register’s information can’t be verified, a letter gets sent to the person explaining what happened.
Stollsteimer said that investigators noticed that multiple registrations coming from Hill were the same variations of the same name, and this person died in her house in 2011. Hill used different name spellings, addresses, and emails in an attempt to register.
In addition to the attempts to register the person who died in 2011, Hill also allegedly tried to register her dead father, as well as her grandmother and an unidentified person. One of the four was successfully registered.
Hill worked for the New Pennsylvania Project, a voting rights organization, and worked as a canvasser for the group focused on registering people to vote. She successfully registered 181 people to vote between April 2024 and September 2024, while 129 were not successfully registered.
