New details have emerged regarding fraudulent voter registration activities linked to far-left organizations, which allegedly submitted thousands of fraudulent ballot registrations in multiple Pennsylvania counties and Maricopa County, Arizona. According to Pennsylvania authorities, investigations are underway in Lancaster County, where officials are examining around 2,500 questionable registrations, with 60% found to be fraudulent. Similar incidents have been reported in Lehigh, Monroe, and York counties, raising concerns about an organized effort to manipulate the voter registration process.
Field+Media Corps Identified as Key Player
Authorities have named Field+Media Corps, an Arizona-based voter registration group, as the organization behind the bulk of these fraudulent registrations. The group, also known as FieldCorps in different jurisdictions, was allegedly involved in submitting large batches of voter registrations at the last minute, a tactic often seen in registration harvesting. Field+Media Corps has reportedly been active in both Pennsylvania and Arizona, raising questions about the extent of its influence and potential connections to other political operations.
The organization’s activities in Maricopa County, Arizona, have drawn particular scrutiny. On the last day of voter registration, Maricopa County received a staggering 90,000 registration forms from a third-party group. According to Arizona law, third-party groups are required to submit forms to election officials within five days of collection; however, Maricopa officials reported that many forms were dated weeks earlier and were delivered in garbage bags, indicating non-compliance with state regulations. Additionally, nearly half of the forms were deemed unusable due to damage or incomplete information (Arizona Central).
Ties to Left-Wing Funding and Democratic Political Committees
Field+Media Corps has deep ties to left-wing organizations and receives significant funding from Democratic-aligned groups. The group’s CEO, Francisco Heredia, is a city councilman and vice mayor of Mesa, Arizona. Heredia is also a former field director of Mi Familia Vota, a left-wing organization advocating for expanded voter rights and immigration reform. In June, Mi Familia Vota provided $200,000 to FieldCorps, the parent company of Field+Media Corps, to support voter outreach efforts (Just the News).
According to campaign finance records, FieldCorps has received hundreds of thousands of dollars from Democratic political committees since 2018, including funding from the Soros-backed Arabella Advisors network. FieldCorps has been involved in get-out-the-vote and canvassing efforts for Democratic candidates, including for Senate candidate Rep. Ruben Gallego in Arizona, whom Heredia has publicly endorsed (Daily Caller).
Broader Concerns and Calls for Investigation
The Republican National Committee (RNC) has responded to the escalating scandal, demanding a swift and thorough investigation into the alleged registration fraud. The RNC’s statement emphasized the importance of preserving the integrity of the electoral process and called for legal accountability if any violations are confirmed.
This case also brings back memories of similar activities in Michigan, where GBI Strategies, another left-wing organization, was found responsible for submitting thousands of fraudulent ballot registrations in 2020. Like FieldCorps, GBI Strategies received funding from major Democratic groups, including the Biden Campaign and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (Gateway Pundit).
Implications for Election Integrity
The discovery of alleged fraudulent registration efforts has raised serious questions about the role of third-party groups in voter registration and the potential for election manipulation. As Pennsylvania and Arizona continue their investigations, many are concerned about the impact these activities could have on the 2024 election. With substantial funding from influential left-wing groups, the operations of organizations like Field+Media Corps highlight the need for more stringent regulations and oversight of voter registration practices nationwide.
