'PA Fair Elections,' tied to powerful conservative groups, behind efforts to remove people from voter rolls

In June, Berks County resident Karl Lampart began emailing county commissioners with a concern: He said he had identified more than 1,300 people who, he believed, should not be allowed to vote.

“If you have any questions or wish to discuss, please feel free to contact me,” Lampart wrote in a June 19 email to Berks County Commissioner Michael Rivera. “Dirty voter rolls is the first step to dirty elections.”

Lampart encouraged the commissioner to watch an election denial propaganda film by David Clements. He suggested the county use resources from Mike Lindell, the entrepreneur who tried to help Trump overturn the 2020 election. And, Lampart said he provided spreadsheets that came from Eagle AI, IV3 and Fight Voter Fraud — three dubious sources of voter data.

That effort worked. On July 25, the board of elections notified the public that it had cross-referenced voter rolls against the Eagle AI data. Responding to questions for this story, county spokesman Jonathan Heintzman said no voters were removed, and the review was not “an attempt to find fraud or impropriety, but rather, to show that any such concerns were unfounded pursuant to the voter list maintenance procedures that are set forth in the law.”
