Election fraud concerns continue to grow in Pennsylvania as officials from Monroe County reveal new findings of fraudulent mail ballot request forms, making this the third county to uncover such irregularities.
Monroe County District Attorney Mike Mancuso announced Tuesday that several mail-in ballot applications were fraudulently submitted, with at least one case involving a dead applicant, The Morning Call reported.
Mancuso released the following statement:
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.
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.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.
The broader investigation continues with reference to Fieldcorp’s involvement. Our office is in regular contact and working with investigators from the Attorney General’s Office as well as others. A further update will be made in the next day or so.
The investigation began when Monroe County’s election board conducted a standard review, uncovering around 30 irregular forms, which were then referred to the DA’s office.
Investigations trace the source of these unauthorized requests to Lancaster County-based Field and Media Corps, a subsidiary of Arizona’s Fieldcorps.
The firm has been actively engaging communities of color in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and California since 2017.
According to its website, Field and Media Corps is a consulting firm involved in strategic field and media operations that include voter registration and other campaign-related activities.
Field and Media Corps issued a statement on Wednesday morning attempting to defend its operations, according to The Morning Call.
“We are proud of our work to help expand access to voting through our nonpartisan voter registration program. We have not been contacted by election officials in PA counties and we have no additional information on the alleged problematic registration forms,” the statement reads. “We would hope that if Field+Media Corps were the subject of any active investigation, that we would be proactively contacted by the appropriate officials. If we are contacted, we will work with local officials to help resolve any discrepancies to allow eligible people to vote.”
The firm stated that it made efforts to contact York County officials and plans to reach out to officials in Monroe County as well.
The company has previously been flagged for similar issues in York County, where suspicious registration forms were reported.
The Gateway Pundit previously reported that York County, Pennsylvania, recently received a substantial delivery of voter registration forms and mail-in ballot applications from Field+Media Corps, a third-party group working on behalf of the Everybody Votes Campaign.
Field+Media Corps, an Arizona-based consulting firm, has been actively engaging communities of color in Arizona, Pennsylvania, Nevada, and California since 2017.
This recent influx of election-related materials from such an organization has prompted York County to take a meticulous approach to validate the legality of these submissions.
Julie Wheeler, York County’s President Commissioner, has assured the public that election officials are diligently processing these submissions to confirm their legality and accuracy.
Below is Wheeler’s full statement:
“We are committed to ensuring the integrity, safety and security of our elections. The York County Office of Elections and Voter Registration has received a large delivery containing thousands of election-related materials from a third-party organization.
Those materials appear to include completed voter registration forms, as well as mail-in ballot applications. As with all submissions, our staff follows a process for ensuring all voter registrations and mail-in ballot requests are legal. That process is currently underway.
If suspected fraud is identified, we will alert the District Attorney’s Office, which will then conduct an investigation. We will have no further comment until our internal review has been completed.”
Meanwhile, the York County District Attorney’s Office has reiterated its commitment to election integrity, stating that it stands ready to conduct criminal investigations should any evidence of illegal activities arise.
“The Office of the District Attorney has been in constant contact with the York County Commissioners and York County Board of Elections regarding any potential irregularities they are seeing and observing that may necessitate further investigation by this office.
As we have always done, this office will investigate any matter regarding elections that require a criminal investigation and if needed, would prosecute any cases where the evidence is sufficient to support a conviction.
Regarding any specific allegations or investigation, it is the policy of this office not to comment on such specific matters but only general operating procedures. Any other questions concerning the operations of elections should be referred to the County Commissioners and/or the Board of Elections.”

In Lancaster County, another 2,500 suspicious applications linked to a large-scale canvassing operation have been submitted, further complicating the web of suspected fraud. Yet, officials remain cautious, refusing to name any specific group until investigations conclude.
During their press conference on Friday morning, the officials announced that the investigation would likely expand to include at least two neighboring counties.
Lancaster officials also announced that two ballot registration groups were involved in the scandal. These groups were not mentioned by name during the press conference.
A county attorney urged the Secretary of State’s office to warn other Pennsylvania counties to be on alert for fake registrations.
