Arizona-Based Field+Media Corps Under Investigation for Suspicious Voter Registration Forms in Pennsylvania

An Arizona-based company, Field+Media Corps, is at the center of an investigation into suspicious voter registration forms submitted in several Pennsylvania counties. The company, run by Francisco Heredia, a Mesa councilman and longtime voting activist in Arizona, has been linked to irregular and potentially fraudulent voter registration applications in Monroe, York, and possibly Lancaster counties.

In Monroe County, around 30 forms submitted by Field+Media Corps were identified as irregular, with some characterized as fraudulent because they were not authorized by the persons named as applicants. In one instance, the named applicant was found to be deceased.

In York County, Field+Media Corps submitted over 3,000 voter registration applications on behalf of the Everybody Votes campaign, a national nonprofit voter registration organization. Of these, roughly 47% were legitimate, 29% had incomplete information, and 24% were undergoing further review by the York County district attorney.

Lancaster County is also investigating a large number of voter registration forms, though officials have not confirmed whether Field+Media Corps was involved. However, District Attorney Heather Adams reported that approximately 60% of the reviewed applications were allegedly fraudulent).

Field+Media Corps has faced similar issues in Arizona, where the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office has flagged the company for submitting a high percentage of incomplete or inaccurate forms. The company has a zero-tolerance policy for workers who submit fraudulent forms and has fired workers in the past for such offenses).

Heredia has stated that the company trains its workers to fill out forms accurately and will fully cooperate with any investigations in Pennsylvania).
