Delco district attorney charges Millbourne Borough official with election fraud
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer charged Millbourne Borough Council Vice President Mohammed Nurul Hasan in connection with an election fraud scandal.
Stollsteimer alleged Hasan falsely registered more than 30 people and cast ballots on their behalf to alter the result of the 2021 mayoral race in the tiny borough. Hasan is charged with 48 offenses related to the alleged fraudulent voting scheme, court records show.
“The bedrock principle of democracy is free and fair elections,” Stollsteimer said in a statement Wednesday. “Millbourne Borough Councilman MD Hasan violated that principle in 2021 by stuffing the ballot box with illegal votes in an effort to win higher office.”
Hasan’s alleged effort fell short. He ultimately lost the low turnout election to Millbourne Mayor Mahabubul Tayub by about 30 votes.
