“A Willistown man’s clumsy attempt at trying to cast a false ballot in the 2020 presidential election has led to one of the only verified instances in Chester County of alleged voter fraud. Police on Monday filed criminal charges against Ralph Holloway Thurman for allegedly attempting to vote as another person — his own son — before being discovered by an alert poll worker who recognized him as having voted a short time earlier. According to the complaint, Viebahn was called at about 10:45 a.m. on Election Day and told that there had been a subject identified as Thurman making false statements and attempting to vote twice. Viebahn said that Thurman came to the polling place at the Sugartown Elementary School earlier that day and asked whether he had to produce an identification card to vote. Thurman then allegedly asked whether he could vote for his son, Kyle Thurman, but was told by poll worker Eric Frank that doing so would be illegal. Thurman signed the register, was given a ballot, voted, and left the polling place, according to the complaint.”

“Both Thurmans are registered voters in the township. Ralph Thurman is a registered Republican, while Kyle Thurman is a registered Democrat. Kyle Thurman is not accused of any wrongdoing in the incident. There is no way of knowing for which candidate either the first or the second was cast. According to the county’s unofficial returns, Biden led Trump in the precinct where the incident occurred, 315 votes to 275 votes. The former vice president captured Willistown, a traditional Republican stronghold, 4,571 votes to 3,386 votes” – DailyLocal.com
