A new investigation is underway in Pennsylvania after the discovery of alleged fraudulent voter registration applications that prompted officials to question the involvement of an Arizona-based company, Field and Media Corps, which is reportedly linked to these suspicious documents.
The probe began last week when the Monroe County Board of Elections flagged around 30 irregular voter registration and mail-in ballot request forms during a routine review. These flagged forms, which the board noted as either incomplete or potentially fraudulent, have now become the subject of an investigation by the Monroe County District Attorney’s Office. However, the applications never made it into the official voting system.
District Attorney Mike Mancuso, who is spearheading the investigation, confirmed that several applications listed names and details that did not match legitimate applicants, including at least one instance where the applicant was found to be deceased. The forms, allegedly unauthorized by the named individuals, were reportedly submitted by Field and Media Corps, a Lancaster County-based subsidiary of Arizona’s Fieldcorps.
“Last week, following a regular review of Voter Registration/Mail in Ballot Request forms received in its office, the Monroe County Board of Elections identified approximately 30 irregular forms,” Mancuso wrote. “Those forms were segregated, and the matter referred to the Monroe County District Attorney for investigation.”
“Since then the Office of District Attorney has been investigating the referral by the Monroe County Board of Elections. Several of the Voter Registration Applications and Mail in Ballot Request forms have been found to be fraudulent as they were not authorized by the persons named as applicants.”
Mancuso concluded, “In at least one example, the named applicant is in fact deceased. To date several, of the fraudulent voter registration forms have been traced to a specific person. A company calling itself ”Field and Media Corps” a subsidiary of Fieldcorps, an Arizona based organization, working out of Lancaster County, in turn was responsible for submitting the forms in question to county officials.”
While Field and Media Corps has not yet issued a statement, its reported involvement is under close examination as part of a broader investigation. The Monroe County District Attorney’s Office is working alongside the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office and other relevant agencies. The investigation comes at a critical juncture as Pennsylvania, a key swing state, braces for another contentious election.
Pennsylvania’s vote-counting process has been a focal point of discussion due to its potential impact on election results and the time required to finalize counts. The expansion of mail-in voting, while boosting participation, complicates verification and prolongs counting. Pennsylvania, a key swing state, faces potential recounts and disputes that could delay election outcomes.
Just two days ago, the Trump campaign scored a legal victory in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, after filing a lawsuit over alleged voter suppression during early voting. The lawsuit was filed Tuesday night against the Bucks County Board of Elections, claiming that voters were “turned away” while trying to apply for mail-in ballots at local election offices.
According to the 21-page filing, security personnel reportedly forced voters to leave the premises, violating Pennsylvania’s election code. The Trump campaign demanded an extension to the original deadline, which was set for 5 p.m. Tuesday, to allow in-person mail-in ballot requests until the end of the day on Wednesday.
