Huntingdon Valley Man Sentenced For Election Fraud

HUNTINGTON VALLEY, PA —A Montgomery County man has been sentenced in federal court for election fraud after authorities said he voted multiple times in multiple locations in recent locations.

Philip C. Pulley, 62, of Huntingdon Valley, avoided jail time but received three years of probation, a $9,500 fine, and 100 hours of community service, Chief United States District Court Judge Mitchell S. Goldberg ruled Thursday morning.

Fifty of those volunteer hours must be dedicated to an organization that works to promote free and fair elections. Pulley must also write a letter explaining why he did what he did.

“Free and fair elections are critical to the health of our democracy, and people who seek to corrupt the process can dangerously erode the public’s trust,” U.S. Attorney Jacqueline Romero said in a statement. “Protecting the integrity of the vote is a priority for my office and the FBI. We will continue to investigate and prosecute election fraud cases and bring offenders like Philip Pulley to justice.”

Pulley was originally charged in Aug. 2024 and pleaded guilty in September.

He was registered to vote in his home in Montgomery County when he added a second voter registration in Broward County, Florida in 2018, according to authorities.

Pulley then added a third voter registration in Philadelphia county in 2020, the U.S. Attorney's Office said. To register in Philly, he used a fake home address and fake social security number.
In 2020, Pulley cast three ballots all told, and then two in 2020, in Philadelphia and Montgomery counties, federal officials said.

Pulley had originally faced a maximum of three to five years behind bars.
