[Lauren Taylor]

WE ARE JUST DAYS AWAY FROM THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION AND ELECTION OFFICIALS IN THE KEY SWING STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA HAVE NOW EXPANDED THEIR VOTER REGISTRATION APPLICATION FRAUD INVESTIGATION TO MORE COUNTIES.

AS S-A-N REPORTED THIS WEEK THREE PENNSYLVANIA COUNTIES WERE INVESTIGATING SUSPECTED  FRAUDULENT VOTER  REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS.

LANCASTER COUNTY ELECTION OFFICIALS WARNED THEY RECEIVED 2,500 SUCH APPLICATIONS.

ELECTION OFFICIALS SAID THEY FOUND IRREGULARITIES WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PROCESS THE VOTER APPLICATIONS.

LANCASTER COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY HEATHER ADAMS SAID SOME OF THE IRREGULARITIES INCLUDED INCORRECT OR NON-EXISTENT ADDRESSES AND-OR INCORRECT OR FALSE PERSONAL INFORMATION SUCH AS NAMES OR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS.

ADAMS ALSO SAID SOME APPLICATIONS CONTAINED THE CORRECT INFORMATION – BUT THAT THE PERSON LISTED ON THE APPLICATION SAID THEY DID NOT FILL IT OUT.

INVESTIGATORS DETERMINED 60% OF THOSE FORMS WERE IN FACT FRAUDULENT.

“AT THIS POINT, IT IS BELIEVED THAT THE FRAUDULENT VOTER REGISTRATIONS ARE CONNECTED TO A LARGE-SCALE CANVASSING OPERATION FOR VOTER REGISTRATIONS THAT DATE BACK TO JUNE,” ADAMS SAID.

OFFICIALS BELIEVE THAT LARGE-SCALE CANVASSING OPERATION – IS LINKED TO AN ARIZONA BASED ORGANIZATION, ACCORDING TO MONROE COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA DISTRICT ATTORNEY, MIKE MANCUSO.

ELECTION OFFICIALS THERE REPORTED ABOUT 30 VOTER REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS ALSO CONTAINING IRREGULARITIES.

MANCUSO POSTED ON FACEBOOK THAT SEVERAL OF THE FORMS WERE NOT FILLED OUT BY THE PERSONS NAMED AS THE APPLICATIONS AND AT LEAST ONE NAMED APPLICATION IS IN FACT DECEASED.

HE SAYS AFTER INVESTIGATING, “THE FRAUDULENT VOTER REGISTRATION FORMS HAVE BEEN TRACED TO A SPECIFIC PERSON.”

AND THAT PERSON, HE SAYS, IS A “COMPANY CALLING ITSELF ‘FIELD AND MEDIA CORPS’ – WHICH IS A SUBSIDIARY OF ‘FIELDCORPS’ BASED IN.

THE D-A SAYS ‘FIELD AND MEDIA CORPS’ IS WORKING OUT OF LANCASTER COUNTY AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUBMITTING THE FORMS IN QUESTION TO COUNTY OFFICIALS.

ACCORDING TO WGAL NEWS IN LANCASTER, THE COMPANY’S WEBSITE LISTED A NUMBER OF DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGNS AS CLIENTS INCLUDING BIDEN-HARRIS, ARIZONA SENATOR MARK KELLY AND ARIZONA DEMOCRATS.

THE “FIELD AND MEDIA CORPS” WEBSITE HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN.

IN YORK COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA — OFFICIALS ARE ALSO INVESTIGATING A LARGE BATCH OF MORE THAN 3-THOUSAND VOTER REGISTRATION APPLICATIONS THAT WERE HANDED IN LAST WEEK – AND GAVE AN UPDATE ON THE MATTER THURSDAY.

OUT OF THOSE, ABOUT 47% OF THOSE APPLICATIONS WERE VERIFIED AS LEGITIMATE AND WERE APPROVED.

ABOUT 29% OF THE APPLICATIONS HAD INCOMPLETE INFORMATION – AND WILL NOT RECEIVE APPROVAL UNTIL THE INFORMATION IS PROVIDED BY THE APPLICANTS.

AND APPROXIMATELY 24% OF THE APPLICATIONS WERE DECLINED AND UNDER FURTHER REVIEW BY THE YORK COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE.

PENNSYLVANIA ATTORNEY GENERAL MICHELLE HENRY SAID IN A PRESS RELEASE: “THE INVESTIGATIONS ARE ONGOING, AND OFFENDERS WHO PERPETRATED ACTS OF FRAUD WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE UNDER THE LAW.”
