Democratic political campaigns have paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a consulting firm facing investigations in Pennsylvania counties for allegedly submitting fraudulent voter registration forms, federal records show.
The district attorney of Monroe County, Pennsylvania, Mike Mancuso, said in a statement last week that a subsidiary of a firm in Arizona called FieldCorps was responsible for submitting 30 forms with fraudulent details, including on behalf of a dead resident. And in York, another county in the Keystone State, officials are looking into suspicious forms they say were submitted by FieldCorps on behalf of the Everybody Votes Campaign, a group tied to the Washington, D.C.-based Arabella Advisors dark money network supporting Democrats.
Now, as of Saturday, the website for FieldCorps and its social media accounts do not appear to be active. Francisco Heredia, a city councilman in Mesa, Arizona, listed on corporate documents as the owner of the consulting firm, did not return a request for comment. Eduardo Sainz, a political consultant who is a partner at the firm, also did not respond.
The unfolding drama in Pennsylvania comes ahead of Election Day on Tuesday and a matchup between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump. Pennsylvania is a key swing state in 2024 and the results in counties there could decide who enters the White House next year. A Washington Examiner review of Federal Election Commission filings found that, since 2018, Democratic campaign committees have shuffled roughly $430,000 to FieldCorps.
The FieldCorps subsidiary is working out of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, according to state officials, who have declined to identify whether FieldCorps is the “third-party organization” behind an investigation officials opened there into 2,500 voter registration forms flagged as suspicious.
