Now, moving along to our voter fraud segment, over in the state of Pennsylvania, three former officials were just sentenced to prison for their roles in a scheme to steal a local mayoral election.

And this scheme of theirs was rather audacious, involving dozens of individuals having their identities used, both wittingly and unwittingly,

in order to request mail-in ballots and cast fraudulent votes.

Let's go through the details of the scheme together, as well as how it was ultimately uncovered by the authorities.

Now, to start with, this story takes place over in Milburn, Pennsylvania,

which is a relatively small borough located right outside of

Philly. And in 2021, Milburn held an election for mayor. And before I give you the names of the two

main candidates, there's one thing that I believe is worth mentioning to you in order to give you

the proper context. Milburn has experienced a significant shift in demographics

over the last 40 years. According to the 1980 census, this particular borough was over 90% white.

But after four decades of immigration, the latest census, the one from 2020, shows that Milburn

is now 7% white, 20% African American, and 63% Asian, with that Asian category

being predominantly people from India, Pakistan, and especially Bangladesh.

This change in demographics is being reflected in the town itself. For instance, the name of

the main street in this town is called Sellers Avenue. It's named that after the founding

family of this particular town, the Sellers family who moved from Derbyshire, England,

and settled this town all the way back in the 1700s. Now, however, if you go to that street,

you might notice that it has a secondary name, Bangladesh Avenue, which is an obvious physical

testament to the growing power of the local

Bangladeshi community there. And this change, besides the street names and the local shops,

is also being reflected in the local politics, which brings us neatly back to the mayor's race.

In 2021, the incumbent mayor decided not to run for re-election, and therefore, a primary had to be held.
