Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is asking for his share of a reward after he offered up a case of voter fraud to Republican Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick via Twitter. Patrick had announced that he is giving out $1 million in rewards for information that leads to voter fraud arrests and convictions.

“Hey, Governor Patrick — it’s your counterpart in Pennsylvania,” tweeted Fetterman, a Democrat. “I’d like to collect your handsome reward for reporting voter fraud. I got a dude in Forty Fort, PA who tried to have his dead mom vote for Trump. I’d like mine in Sheetz gift cards pls.”

Two felony counts withdrawn against Forty Fort man in election fraud case

May 6, 2021

WILKES-BARRE — Luzerne County prosecutors on Thursday withdrew two felony counts against a Forty Fort man accused of forging the name of his deceased mother on an application for an absentee ballot during the 2020 presidential election.

Prosecutors instead added a third-degree misdemeanor charge of violations relating to absentee or mail-in ballots against Robert Richard Lynn, 67, of Center Street, during his preliminary hearing in Central Court.

Lynn, through his attorney, Joseph Michael Blazosek, waived the misdemeanor charge to county court. Lynn faces a fine of $2,500 and/or up to two years in jail if he is convicted or pleads guilty. However, it is likely Lynn will receive a lesser fine and no jail time as he has no criminal record.

County detectives charged Lynn Oct. 21 after the county Board of Elections Office “flagged” an absentee ballot application in the name of Marie P. Hannigan on Sept. 4. The application listed Hannigan’s date of birth, an address on Center Street in Forty Fort, and the reason for the absentee ballot, “visiting great grand kids Oct. 24-Nov. 10,” according to the criminal complaint. A signature line listed Hannigan’s name.

“Dude in Forty Fort’ pleads guilty to absentee ballot violation

WILKES-BARRE — A man from Forty Fort said he used “poor judgement” and regrets using his deceased mother’s name on an application for an absentee ballot for the 2020 presidential election. Robert Richard Lynn, 68, of Center Street, pleaded guilty to a third-degree misdeanor charge of violations relating to absentee or mail-in ballots during a court proceeding before Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Vough on Monday. Prosecutors earlier had withdrawn two felony counts of forgery and interference with an election against Lynn.

A signature line listed Hannigan’s name. A database used for voter information listed Hannigan died in 2015, and her voter information was changed to deceased on Aug. 21, 2015. Hannigan last voted on Nov. 4, 2014, and had her address listed as Crestview Drive in Dallas, the complaint says.

Lynn admitted, according to the complaint, he used a typewriter to complete the absentee ballot application and signed his deceased mother’s name. After Lynn was charged, Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman tweeted,”My dude in Forty Fort, PA who tried to have his dead mom vote for Trump,” in response to an appeal from Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick. Patrick, a Republican, reportedly offered to pay up to $1 million from his campaign funds as a reward for people who come forward to report voter fraud in connection with the 2020 presidential election.

During Monday’s court proceeding, Attorney Joseph Michael Blazosek said his client, Lynn, has no criminal history and is a law abiding citizen. Prosecutors recommended a sentence of six months probation, which Vough agreed. Lynn could have faced up to two years in jail and a $2,500 fine.

Pennsylvania man sentenced to 5-year probation after voting in name of dead mother

CNN — A Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to five years of probation after pleading guilty to casting a vote in the name of his deceased mother in an effort to reelect then-President Donald Trump, according to court records and Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer’s office.

Bruce Bartman, 70, received the sentence Friday after entering a guilty plea to two counts of perjury and one count of unlawful voting. Bartman will also lose his right to vote for four years, pursuant to Pennsylvania statute, the district attorney’s office said in a news release.

Voter records show that Bartman used Pennsylvania’s online voter-registration portal to register both his late mother, Elizabeth Bartman, and his deceased mother-in-law, Elizabeth Weihman, who died in 2019 – illegally registering both as Republican voters, the district attorney’s office said.

Bartman then requested, filled out and sent in the absentee ballot for his deceased mother for the 2020 general election. Bartman’s attorney, Samuel Stretton, told CNN that his client regrets the decision. Stretton said Bartman had explained to the court that because of the coronavirus pandemic, he had been isolated at home and was misled by “propaganda and statements” that were made about voter fraud.
