Pennsylvania governor-elect Josh Shapiro, who rose to prominence by downplaying Republican claims of voter fraud, charged one of his former campaign consultants on Wednesday with "wide scale" forgery of voter ballots.
Shapiro, in his capacity as Pennsylvania attorney general, alleges that Philadelphia political consultant Rasheen Crews duplicated more than 1,000 signatures on petitions to add his clients to Democratic primary ballots for Philadelphia city elections in 2019.
"By soliciting and organizing the wide scale forgery of signatures, the defendant undermined the democratic process and Philadelphians’ right to a free and fair election," Shapiro said in a statement announcing the charges.
The announcement of the indictment just a week after the gubernatorial election could raise questions for Shapiro, who was a strident critic of Republicans who cast doubt on the results of the 2020 election in Pennsylvania. According to an arrest affidavit, Shapiro’s office opened an investigation into Crews in September 2019. It is unclear why it took three years to bring charges against him.

Ya. Obama dtarted this today.
They’re turning the voter fraud around.
This is a wild story, you wonder if someone either didn’t get paid, didn’t get enough fake ballots, or got paid and went rogue.
That name tells you all you need to know. Read no more.
Trying to mis-direct the blame?
Well, let’s pray Rasheen Crews starts talking loudly about 2020, before he commits suicide like Jeffery eEpstein did. 😋
No, you can't tell all by the name.

This is probably his attempt to move for national office later; he is trying to create the perception of distance between himself and the Philadelphia Democrat mob to pull cross-over votes in a a national election.
Killed parents. Now wants leniency calling himself an orphan.
I’m thinking blackmail Shapiro brought charges before they could spill the beans. Dumb masses will think the new gov a crime fighter smh
Democrat power struggles.
IOW: All Ballots DON’T Matter.
Well at least he waited until after the election.
But there is also a Philly tag on the perp.
2 + 2 = ?
Will be found not guilty and media will throw it on

Just so we are clear here, this is about adding a candidate to the ballot. In PA to get on the ballot you have to collect signatures and pay a fee. Most statewide offices require 1,000 signatures.
