A lawsuit filed by several Republican voters challenging election results in a Tredyffrin Township precinct was dismissed by the Chester County Court of Common Pleas.
The petition, filed by voters from Tredyffrin Township precinct M-4, sought a review of vote counts related to several races in the November general election, including governor, U.S. senator, and state representative.
On December 9, Judge Sommers dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning the claims cannot be refiled.
In the court’s ruling, Judge Sommers noted that several of the petitioners had served as election officials in the same precinct and had previously certified that the election was conducted properly.
As the opinion stated:
“The four Petitioners who conducted the election in their precinct and who swore that they would uphold the law, who counted and reconciled the votes, and who then swore that they followed all procedures prescribed by law, now claim there was fraud in their precinct.”
The court also criticized the petitioners’ legal arguments, noting that their counsel claimed to possess evidence of fraud but chose not to present it to the court.
The ruling found no evidence of fraud or vote-counting errors in the precinct.
Chester County election officials and poll workers administer elections under established procedures designed to ensure accuracy, transparency, and public confidence in the results.
