The crucial swing state of Pennsylvania has 21,000 dead people on its voter rolls, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday.
The amended lawsuit was filed by the Public Interest Legal Foundation (PILF) group led by voter fraud expert J. Christian Adams.
The lawsuit alleges that Pennsylvania broke federal and state law by failing to “reasonably maintain” their voter registration records in time for the 2020 presidential election.
“As of October 7, 2020, at least 9,212 registrants have been dead for at least five years, at least 1,990 registrants have been dead for at least ten years, and at least 197 registrants have been dead for at least twenty years,” the lawsuit claims.
“Pennsylvania still left the names of more than 21,000 dead individuals on the voter rolls less than a month before one of the most consequential general elections for federal officeholders in many years,” the lawsuit continues.
About 92 percent of the 21k dead people on the PA voter rolls had died sometime before October 2019, according to the lawsuit.

About 216 dead people show voting credits after federally listed dates of death in 2016 and 2018, according to Breitbart.
“This case is about ensuring that those deceased registrants are not receiving ballots,” PILF President J. Christian Adams said in a statement.
“This case isn’t complicated.”
He continued:
"For nearly a year, we’ve been offering specific data on deceased registrants to Pennsylvania officials for proper handling ahead of what was expected to be a tight outcome on Election Day.
"When you push mail voting, your voter list maintenance mistakes made years ago will come back to haunt in the form of unnecessary recipients and nagging questions about unreturned or outstanding ballots."

In May, Pennsylvania election officials admitted that duplicate ballots were mailed out to registered voters.
Likewise, political watchdog Judicial Watch sued Pennsylvania for allegedly having 800,000 inactive voters on their state voter rolls.
The case was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
The case number is No. 1:20-cv-01905.
