Investigations into a raft of fraudulent voter registrations in multiple Pennsylvania counties are pointing to an Arizona-based firm with links to a number of high-profile Democrats.
Field+Media Corps, a subsidiary of FieldCorps, the company in question with ties to Mesa, Arizona City Councilman Francisco Heredia, was responsible for submitting the “irregular forms” according to the Monroe County District Attorney, Mike Mancuso. Lancaster, York, and Cambria Counties are also investigating the same issue of fraudulent voter registrations.
Lancaster County officials said there are roughly 2,500 voter registration forms in question while York County Chief Clerk Greg Monskie confirmed they have received and are investigating “suspect forms.”
Heredia, of Field+Media Corps, told outlets that neither he nor the company has been contacted by county investigators but would cooperate if questioned. Voter registration forms submitted by Heredia’s firm to election officials in Maricopa County, Arizona were previously flagged and investigated by the Arizona Attorney General.
Monroe County is expected to provide an update on the investigation soon. Since the news of Field+Media Corps’ involvement, the firm’s website appears to have been taken offline. Before its removal from public viewing, it listed Biden-Harris, Senator Mark Kelly’s campaign, and other Arizona Democrats as clients.
When the current Arizona Secretary of State, Adrian Fontes, served as Maricopa County Recorder, Heredia was hired as a member of the county office’s community relations team. It was the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office that referred voter registration forms submitted by Heredia’s company to the state Attorney General for investigation.
Some are concerned about the resulting discussions on social media and the impact potentially false information may have on the election. Former President Donald Trump, also the current Republican candidate for president, posted about the investigations on his Truth Social platform. He conflated voter registration forms with ballots or “votes”, incorrectly stating “We caught them with 2,600 votes.”
While election officials say the robust system of “checks and balances” to detect and stop voter fraud prevented potentially fraudulent votes from being cast, Lancaster County Commissioner Josh Parsons believes the state’s Secretary of the Commonwealth should alert all counties in the state to “to be cautious about this organization and scrutinize any last-minute batches that come in.”
