'PA Fair Elections,' tied to powerful conservative groups, pushes to remove people from voter rolls
PA Fair Elections’ online meetings are open to anyone, promoted in weekly emails that encourage attendees to share the meeting link with others. An LNP | LancasterOnline reporter attended four meetings in June and documented who attended. (After reporting on PA Fair Elections, the group changed its meeting portal to include notes barring press and stating that the meetings are off the record).
PA Fair Elections is run by Heather Honey, a Lebanon County resident who was found to be a frequent source of false and misleading information about elections, according to a February Votebeat report. Honey did not respond to a request for comment.
Honey has worked with attorney Cleta Mitchell, the senior legal fellow at Washington, D.C.-based Conservative Partnership institute. Mitchell was on the infamous Jan. 2, 2021, phone call where Trump told Georgia Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” him 11,780 votes. Mitchell is also a chair at Public Interest Legal Foundation, which has sued states to remove people from voter rolls.
Mitchell spoke to PA Fair Elections attendees during an online meeting in June, where she made baseless claims about undocumented immigrants voting. That month PA Fair Elections members also heard from anti-immigrant activist Rosemary Jenks and attorney John Eastman, who faces felony fraud and conspiracy charges in Georgia and Arizona related to Trump’s 2020 efforts to reverse his electoral losses.
