Live election updates: 80 million have voted early as Trump, Harris sprint to finish

Officials in several counties across Pennsylvania continue to investigate potentially fraudulent voter registration applications, as Trump has pushed some misleading or false claims about the incident.

Authorities in Lancaster, Berks, Monroe and York counties are investigating thousands of voter registration applications they say are potentially fraudulent, according to various officials around the state. Amid the ongoing investigations, some of the applications have been confirmed to be fraudulent while some have been determined to be legitimate, according to updates.

Still, as recently as last week Trump said Lancaster County was "caught ... with 2,600 votes."

"They found, as I understand it, I mean, I don't know what's happened to the last day or so, but they in Lancaster, they found 2,600 ballots, all done in by the same hand," Trump said Sunday in Pennsylvania.

But, according to the Pennsylvania attorney general, Trump's characterization is untrue. In a statement last week, the state's top prosecutor, Michelle Henry, said that "the investigations regard voter registration forms, not ballots."

On Monday, Lancaster County officials also updated that out of the approximately 2,500 applications under investigation, more than half were confirmed to be valid. According to Lancaster County Commissioner Ray D'Agostino, 57% of the applications were verified, 17% were determined to be fraudulent, and 26% are still being investigated and are either incomplete or not verified.

D'Agostino stressed that the investigation with the DA is still ongoing. "We take this very seriously," he said.

In York County, officials last week said their investigation into a batch of 3,087 applications led to 47% having been "verified as legitimate" and were approved, 29% were incomplete and are pending, and 24% were declined and are being investigated by the DA.

Election officials have emphasized that this alleged fraud was contained and stopped -- and say the instance highlights the effectiveness of the system. Henry said the fraud attempts "have been defeated."

"These attempts have been thwarted by the safeguards in place in Pennsylvania," Henry said in her statement last week.

Following a six-hour hearing on Monday, a Philadelphia judge is allowing Elon Musk's America PAC to continue its million-dollar giveaway to registered swing state voters.

Common Pleas Court Judge Angelo Foglietta denied Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner's request for an injunction to stop the giveaway, which has handed out $17 million to voters across the swing states. According to defense attorneys, America PAC plans to announce their 18th and final prize winner tomorrow in Michigan.

In a win for the Republican National Committee, the Georgia Supreme Court on Monday ruled that thousands of voters whose mail-in ballots were delayed will not have extra time to send them back.

The ruling from the court reversed a lower judge's ruling that had granted 3,000 voters an extension of the mail-in-ballot deadline, after Cobb County election officials admitted they missed the deadline to ship them out.

The deadline for mail-in ballots to be received in Georgia is Election Day -- but the lower judge had given those voters an extension for them to be postmarked by election day and received by Nov. 8, the same deadline for overseas ballots.

The RNC had appealed the ruling, saying it was a violation of the election code and that voters still had other ways they could vote, including in person.

The Georgia Supreme Court ordered the Cobb board to "keep separate" the absentee ballots of those voters that are received after the deadline on Election Day but before Nov. 8 "in a secure, safe, and sealed container separate from other voted ballots."

Cobb County had previously been ordered to ship out all of the delayed ballots by Nov. 1 with express shipping and overnight return envelopes.

The court also ordered the board to notify the voters by email, text or public announcement of the change.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency continues to see threats towards election officials a day before Election Day, according to a top official for CISA, the cyber arm of the Department of Homeland Security.

In a call to reporters Monday, Cait Conley, who is in charge of CISA's election security portfolio, called these threats "fundamentally un-American."

CISA Director Jen Easterly said most local elections officials are in touch with law enforcement.

"We've not seen specific reporting about violence at polling places, so I certainly don't want voters to feel at all intimidated about going to voting locations," Easterly said, saying it should "really be a day of celebration."

Easterly said they "expect" disruptions throughout Election Day, and they are prepared for it. Foreign adversaries -- particularly Russia, China and Iran -- are looking to "undermine American confidence and the legitimacy of our elections and to stoke partisan discord," she said.
