About 30 irregular forms that were turned over to Monroe County District Attorney Mike Mancuso to investigate turned out to be fraudulent, according to a post on the district attorney's Facebook page.
Several of the voter registration applications and mail ballot request forms were determined to be fraudulent because they weren't authorized by the individuals named as applicants, Mancuso said in the post. In one example, the named applicant was deceased.
These fraudulent applications were submitted by Field+Media Corps, an Arizona company working out of Lancaster County, according to Mancuso's post. A parent company, FieldCorps LLC, was also named.
York County Chief Clerk Greg Monskie confirmed that the same company submitted the forms under investigation in his county, a PennLive report states.
Daily Voice reached out to district attorneys and voting officials in Berks, Bucks, Lancaster, Philadelphia, and York counties to either confirm the Field+Media Corps connection or see if their investigations have turned up a similar connection.
"The district attorney has not provided information about any organizations or groups at this time," Communications Director for the Lancaster County Office of the Commissioners Michael Fitzpatrick said in an email to Daily Voice.
"I can confirm that our materials were dropped off by FMC," York County Chief Clerk Gregory Monskie told us.
None of the other officials responded as of press time.
Daily Voice attempted to find information on Field+Media Corps but found that its website is defunct. However, Field+Media Corps and FieldCorps LLC are listed on Idealist.org.
Both companies are based out of Mesa, Arizona and offer various services to campaigns, including door-to-door canvassing and voter registration operations, according to their Idealist.org listings.
The PennLive report connects these companies to Francisco Heredia, a Mesa city councilman and a longtime voting activist in Arizona. Heredia said that he has not heard from county officials in Pennsylvania regarding problems with voter registration forms, but would cooperate with any investigations.
