Bucks County Voters Warned Of Possible Intimidation, Misinformation Efforts

Officials from the Bucks County Board of Elections are alerting residents to a potential voter intimidation and misinformation campaign.

The contacts reported to election officials involves unsolicited calls and texts from entities posing as “Voter Protection” or “Volunteers with Voter Protection,” which falsely inform recipients of discrepancies in their voter registration details, according to a Thursday afternoon statement from officials.

Residents reported receiving communications from non-local area codes, claiming issues such as incorrect voter information, unregistered status, invalid identification for mail-in ballots, and uncounted votes from the April Primary due to ID discrepancies.

When investigated, the Bucks County Board of Elections confirmed no such issues existed for those who were told there were issues, officials said.
