The key to one of the most contentious presidential elections in history could be right here in the Keystone state.
Republican candidate Donald Trump has made allegations of fraud at polls in the City of Philadelphia.
So, Action News dug through a decade's worth of election and death records to see if there was any truth to the claim.
Some of what Action News investigation found was stunning.
Rita A. Pezzano, who passed a decade ago, was found listed as an active voter. Her daughter-in-law was shocked when we shared the news.
"I was about seven months pregnant when she died," said Audrey Marchiano.
"So she has been dead about 10 years now?" asked Investigative Reporter Wendy Saltzman.
"Yes," said Marchiano.
Pezzano passed in 2006. But state voting records show the South Philadelphia native still listed as an "Active Voter" who cast ballots in 2008, 2012, 2014, and the 2016 primary election.
Wendy Saltzman asked Marchiano if there was any way Pezzano could have voted in 2016.
"Not if she was dead," Marchiano replied. "So no."
