Four Noncitizens Charged With Illegal Voting

Federal prosecutors charged four more noncitizens in Philadelphia with illegally voting in the 2024 election, bringing the number charged in Pennsylvania to 10.

Officials say two of the defendants are Pakistani citizens with lawful permanent residency, one is a Portuguese citizen living here legally, and one is a French citizen allegedly in the country unlawfully.

The charges follow four other cases filed last month against noncitizens accused of voting or registering to vote in Philadelphia and Chester counties.

If convicted, each faces up to a year in prison and a fine. The Justice Department said in late September it had charged 90 people with voting fraud nationwide this year.

Data Center Pushback Grows in Luzerne

Hazle Township residents are turning down $10,000 each to support a proposed data center, with some comparing the developer’s offer to bribery.

Elsewhere in Luzerne County, Newport Township residents voiced concerns to township commissioners about 15 proposed data centers.

Hundreds of people gathered to oppose the Newport Township proposal, adding to growing pushback across the county.

Hazle Township has paused new data center applications for six months while it updates its zoning rules, and more than 60 data center proposals have popped up statewide in the past year.

Beloved TikTok Pig Remembered in Book

Hughesville’s Valerie Cranmer is honoring her late pot-bellied pig, Homer, with a children’s book and a cottage dedicated to the TikTok star.

Homer won fans online for his nightly bedtime routine, with videos showing Cranmer tucking him into a bed lined with plush toys and bearing his name on the headboard.

Cranmer told followers that Homer “doesn’t stink” and called him “the best pet in the world.”

Fans often joked that Homer lived better than they did, with one commenter writing, “I want to be Homer in my next life.”
