Left-Leaning Group Under Investigation for Voter Fraud in Pennsylvania’s Monroe County
A left-leaning organization is under scrutiny in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, as local authorities uncover fraudulent mail ballot request forms.
According to The Morning Call, District Attorney Mike Mancuso announced on social media Tuesday that these forms were submitted without authorization from the people listed as applicants. In at least one instance, the named applicant was deceased.
Investigators have linked several of the suspicious ballot requests to an individual associated with Field+Media Corps, a Lancaster County-based consulting firm that operates as a subsidiary of Arizona’s Fieldcorps. Field+Media Corps provides consulting services including voter registration campaigns, door-to-door canvassing, and phone banking. The Morning Call reports that similar concerns surrounding mail-in ballot applications connected to Field+Media Corps have also surfaced in York County, where officials are currently investigating.
Neighboring Lancaster County officials have likewise flagged 2,500 voter registration applications submitted just before the Oct. 21 deadline, attributing them to a “large-scale canvassing operation,” though the organization responsible has not been confirmed.
Monroe County’s investigation began after the county’s election board identified approximately 30 irregular ballot requests, prompting the district attorney’s office to pursue further action. Mancuso said the investigation into Field+Media Corps is ongoing and involves coordination with the state attorney general’s office. Updates on the probe are anticipated in the coming days.
Field+Media Corps issued a statement on Wednesday, maintaining that they were not initially aware of the Pennsylvania allegations, nor had they been contacted by any election officials. The statement emphasized the organization’s nonpartisan efforts to expand voter access, expressing readiness to collaborate with local authorities if contacted.
