Fitzpatrick, Ciervo Letter Instructs Parents on Committing Voter Fraud
Letter from campaigns unlawfully encourages parents to forge signature if their kids are away at college(Bristol, PA) – GOP candidates Mike Fitzpatrick and Rob Ciervo are facing serious new allegations of voter fraud due to a letter they sent to Bucks County residents instructing parents on how to forge ballot applications for kids away at college.
Tucked inside a Mike Fitzpatrick for Congress envelope, the letter is written by GOP State House candidate Rob Ciervo and says, “Mike Fitzpatrick and I need your help.” Attached here, the letter explains the absentee ballot process in case someone is unable to vote in person:
All you need to do is request an absentee ballot with the enclosed application, and when it comes back in the mail, fill it out and send it back.

Fitzpatrick’s and Ciervo’s actions contribute to a deeply troubling pattern of voting irregularities perpetrated by the Bucks County GOP. Recently, startling revelations surfaced that the
Republican-dominated Bucks County Board of Elections has been systematically rejecting absentee ballot requests from Democratic voters. According to recent press accounts, the GOP has rejected over 600 absentee ballot requests, demonstrating a deeply troubling pattern of specifically targeting Democrats for rejection. A staggering eighty-two percent of the rejected requests were from Democratic voters asking for their absentee ballot. In other words, the Republicans in charge of protecting Bucks County residents’ voting rights rejected six Democrats for every Republican absentee ballot request.
In response, the Pennsylvania Democratic State Party has filed charges against the GOP Board for illegal voter suppression.
