Fact check: Trump makes four false claims about Pennsylvania voting
Speaking in Allentown, Trump made a significant false claim about supposed election fraud in Philadelphia during the 2012 election. And he made three separate false claims related to the 2020 election.
Local Republican ward leader Denise Furey told the Inquirer she was unsurprised that Romney did not get any votes in two of her 23 divisions. “What we found in the Obama races was a lot of people who would typically vote Republican voted for Mr. Obama,” she said. “That is not surprising to me.”

While criticizing Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, Tom Wolf, Trump warned the crowd: “The governor counts the ballots.” He said later in the speech, “This is the guy that’s counting our ballots? It doesn’t work. It doesn’t work.”
Also, Pennsylvania’s top elections official is Secretary of State Kathy Boockvar. She is a Wolf appointee, but she is not Wolf.
