3 politicians are accused of faking mail-in ballots in a 2021 mayoral race in a Philly suburb

Three politicians in a small municipality near Philadelphia were indicted this week on charges they tried to fraudulently win the mayoral race in 2021 by producing about three dozen false mail-in ballots. A federal grand jury accused Md Nurul Hasan, Md Munsur Ali and Mohammed Rafikul Islam of conspiring to register people who live outside 1,200-population Millbourne as borough residents, to have mail-in ballots sent to themselves and then to return the completed ballots to the Delaware County elections board.
