ACLU Challenges Lancaster Elections Board, Saying Its Actions Were "Illegal"

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has called out the Lancaster County Board of Commissioners, calling its statement about the concerns about registering Franklin & Marshall College students to vote “dishonest” and its actions “illegal.”

On Monday, commissioners Josh Parsons and Ray D’Agostino were critical of media coverage of the case, as well as of Secretary of the Commonwealth Al Schmidt who wrote a letter to the Board demanding that the Board investigate the claims that F&M students are not being registered to vote.

Parsons, chair of the Board, said an article from LNP | Lancaster Online was “demonstrably false. We can prove it in a court of law.

“Now, it is true that you can be registered in two jurisdictions. That makes sense, right? What you can’t do is go back and forth in the law in two jurisdictions. If you now live in Pennsylvania, you have to live in Pennsylvania.
