One of Pennsylvania’s top Democrat political activists is allegedly running a shady GOTV website that is surreptitiously collecting user data for political campaign purposes from unsuspecting voters who are tricked into thinking the site is an official state government election site. The URL, Vote.pa, closely resembles the official state voter registration website, vote.pa.gov. Not only that, Gov. Josh Shapiro allowed his signature to be used on mailers guiding people to request mail-in ballots through the site according to investigative journalist Todd Shepherd at Broad & Liberty.

The man behind this shadowy data collection operation is Democrat Gov. Tom Wolfe’s former press secretary, turned political operative, J.J. Abbott.

The report from Broad & Liberty notes:

[It] appears to be an official attempt by the Democratic Party to collect data and obfuscate voter registration practices. Gov. Josh Shapiro signed a letter, using his title, to encourage prospective voters to use the wrong, and Democratic Party affiliated, voter registration website.

The new revelation underscores the deep extent to which Pennsylvania Democrats and left-of-center organizations have invested in the website that one Republican state representative called an “obvious attempt to steal information from voters or potential voters.”

State Rep. Seth Grove (R–York) added:

“[This] is an obvious attempt to steal information from voters or potential voters who are very likely looking for the Department of State’s website. The Governor of all people should be ensuring accurate information is being provided to voters promoting an official government website.

“I’m calling on Governor Shapiro to set the record straight right now and recommend voters go to vote.pa.gov for voting information, not a misinformation website looking to harvest data from voters. Regardless of the separation of his campaign and official activities, he is the Governor, citizens pay close attention to what he says in any capacity. I am also calling on the Governor to convene his Elections Threats Task Force and condemn this website immediately.”

Meanwhile, at least two Democrat state senators have promoted the website on their campaign X accounts.

Please make sure your voter registration is up to date. If you need to make any changes, you need to have those completed before midnight to vote in the April 23rd election.

Even U.S. Sen. Bob Casey (D-PA) promoted the sketchy website on his social media.

Pennsylvania’s primary election is one week away. Do you have a plan to vote?

Terese and I sat down and mapped out ours, and you should, too.

This is just one of many ways in which Democrats are playing fast and loose with our sacred right to vote and are undermining election confidence.

In a congressional hearing earlier this week, Rep. Dan Bishop (NC-8) grilled U.S. Sec. of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas about voting flyers allegedly found at a resource center near the southern border urging illegal immigrants to vote for President Joe Biden in the upcoming election.

Mayorkas indicated in his testimony that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has no plan for preventing foreign nationals from voting in our elections.

The group purported to have made the flyers claims no knowledge of them.

How do we know the election won’t turn on the votes of illegal aliens?

We don’t.

Whether the flyers were fake or not is beside the point. The larger concern is that our borders are not secure. When combined with the fact that Democrat-run cities across the country, from San Francisco to Washington, D.C., are increasingly allowing foreign nationals to vote in local elections, America faces a looming election integrity nightmare.
