A controversial Philadelphia landlord who lives in Montgomery County was sentenced Thursday to three years' probation for voting in multiple jurisdictions during recent elections, including casting two ballots in the 2022 U.S. Senate race.
Philip C. Pulley, 62, of Huntington Valley, must complete 100 hours of community service and pay a $9,500 fine after pleading guilty to election fraud charges in September. Chief U.S. District Judge Mitchell S. Goldberg ordered that half of Pulley's service hours be spent with organizations promoting election integrity.
Pulley’s management company, SBG Management, has been the target of numerous complaints from tenants, former employees and contractors.
Prosecutors said Pulley registered to vote in Broward County, Florida, in 2018 while maintaining his Montgomery County registration. In 2020, he registered again in Philadelphia using a false address and social security number.
During the 2022 general election, Pulley voted in both Montgomery and Philadelphia counties.
"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 C. Romero said.
As part of his sentence, Pulley must write a letter explaining his actions.
The FBI and the Pennsylvania Attorney General's Office investigated the case.
