Recent developments in two Pennsylvania counties have raised concerns over voter registration applications submitted by a voter outreach company. In York County, Field+Media Corps delivered a batch of over 3,000 voter registration applications, with approximately 700 forms being flagged as 'questionable' and under investigation. The Pennsylvania Office of the Attorney General has not disclosed details regarding any potential investigations into the company.
Monroe County also reported irregularities in forms submitted by the same company, with around 30 forms identified as problematic. These forms, including voter registration applications and mail-in ballot requests, were found to be fraudulent as they were not authorized by the individuals named as applicants.
While it is legal in Pennsylvania for organizations to submit large numbers of voter registration forms, county election boards are required to verify and approve each form. Eligible voters whose forms are rejected or still pending on Election Day have the option to cast a provisional ballot in person.
Lancaster County officials have acknowledged an ongoing investigation into potentially fraudulent voter registration applications but have not disclosed specific details about any organizations involved. Field+Media Corps, based in Mesa, Arizona, and operated by Francisco Heredia, has not responded to requests for comment. Heredia, who also serves as Mesa's vice mayor, stated that the company has not been contacted but is willing to cooperate with any investigations by Pennsylvania authorities.
