AG SHAPIRO ANNOUNCES CHARGES AGAINST PHILADELPHIA MAN FOR ORCHESTRATING THE FORGERY OF SIGNATURES ON ELECTION NOMINATION PETITIONS IN MUNICIPAL PRIMARY RACES

Defendant is Alleged to Have Conspired to Forge Thousands of Signatures to get Candidates’ Names on the Ballot for the 2019 Democratic Primary Races in Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA – Attorney General Josh Shapiro today announced the arrest of Rasheen Crews, a Philadelphia political consultant, for charges related to forging signatures on nomination petitions to get his clients on the ballot for the 2019 Democratic primary races in Philadelphia.

“In advance of the 2023 municipal elections, this arrest is an important reminder that interfering with the integrity of our elections is a serious crime,” said AG Shapiro. “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. My office is dedicated to upholding the integrity of the election process across the Commonwealth, to ensure everyone can participate in Pennsylvania’s future.”

An investigation by the Office of Attorney General found that in 2019, multiple candidates hired Crews to help them obtain the requisite amount of signatures needed for their nomination petitions for the Democratic primary races. Crews recruited individuals to help with the petition work, bringing them to a hotel room and asking them to write names, addresses, and forged signatures on multiple petitions. Crews then had these petitions notarized and filed with the Pennsylvania Department of State on behalf of his clients.

Dude worked for Shapiro at one time.
"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."

A case of 'See, I'm doing something about election fraud", in a minor, local race.

Forget looking into the high profile races...

Is he investigating Delaware Countys locking out of observers for six hours? Is he investigating the *no paper* problem in Luzerne County?

FJS! Oh FJB ALSO!

I would have suspected that forger would have been from the Valley Forge area.

The offense in question was against fellow democrats in the primary. As far as the actual election goes there is only silence and denials just like two years ago.
