Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (MJP) —
Federal authorities have charged a man with casting ballots in the 2020 presidential election in both Pennsylvania and Florida, as well as in two separate elections in Pennsylvania in November 2022.
On Friday, the Philadelphia office of the United States attorney announced that 62-year-old Philip C. Pulley of Huntingdon Valley had been indicted on five counts of federal election law violations, including fraudulently registering to vote, casting two ballots in the same election, and engaging in election fraud.
Neither the frequency of multiple voting nor its prosecution is made clear. The six states that were considered battlegrounds in the 2020 election and were contested by former president Trump had less than 475 possible instances of voting fraud, according to an assessment published in December 2021 by The Associated Press. His reelection loss was due to the small number of those cases.

While Pulley was already registered to vote in Broward County, Florida, and Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, he allegedly used a fake Philadelphia address and Social Security number when he registered in Philadelphia in 2020.

As per the criminal accusations, he cast ballots in the Montgomery and Broward elections that year after requesting a ballot through mail in Philadelphia.
Additionally, the indictment asserts that he cast ballots in both Montgomery and Philadelphia counties in November 2022, when a United States Senate seat was up for grabs.
From 2005 until this year, federal prosecutors claim that Pulley used his Huntingdon Valley, Montgomery County, residence to cast ballots. They state that he used a Lighthouse Point, Florida, address when he registered in Broward County in 2018.
Pulley reportedly changed his party registration from Republican to Democratic last year in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, where he had been enrolled as a Republican since the 1990s.
According to the records, he voted in the general elections of 2021, 2022, and 2023 in Philadelphia after registering as a Democrat there a few years earlier, in February 2020.
