Two Pennsylvania counties have identified an Arizona-based company as the source of thousands of last-minute voter registration applications that they are investigating.
In Monroe County, around 30 forms the company was "Responsible for submitting," which also included mail ballot applications, were "Irregular" and included what the District Attorney's Office described in a Facebook post as several that were "Fraudulent as they were not authorized by the persons named as applicants." "In at least one example, the named applicant is in fact deceased," District Attorney Mike Mancuso wrote in the post, saying several of the forms he described as fraudulent had been traced to a specific person.
York County Chief Clerk Greg Monskie confirmed to Votebeat Wednesday that Field Media Corps submitted the forms that the county is investigating.
Everybody Votes said in a statement that the company has not been contacted by officials in Lancaster, York, or Monroe counties about ongoing investigations, but would help resolve any issues with the forms if contacted.
In a press release Wednesday, the county said that of the 3,087 applications under review, it had found that roughly 47% were legitimate, 29% had incomplete information, and 24% were "Undergoing further review" by the York County district attorney.
Heredia told Votebeat that the company has not heard from any county officials in Pennsylvania, or received any information about problems with the forms it submitted there, but he said that the company would fully cooperate with any investigation in Pennsylvania.
In a third Pennsylvania county conducting an investigation, Lancaster County, officials have declined to identify the group or person who submitted the 2,500 forms they are investigating.
