Monroe County is investigating an AZ company's involvement in preventing voter fraud

Monroe County is investigating an AZ company's involvement in preventing voter fraud

A prosecutor in Pennsylvania is investigating about 30 voter registration applications and absentee ballot applications that were deemed “fraudulent” — including several that officials linked to an Arizona-based group operating in the county.

The registration forms were discovered by county elections officials, who then separated the forms and referred the matter for further investigation, Monroe County District Attorney Mike Mancuso said in a statement.

At least some of the forms, according to Mancuso, were filed by Field and Media Corps, an apparent subsidiary of Fieldcorp, an Arizona-based organization that operates in Lancaster County.

“The wider investigation continues into Fieldcorp’s involvement,” he said.

Mancuso urged residents to remain calm, noting that his office is “in regular contact and working with investigators from the Attorney General's Office and others.”

“A further update will be provided in the next day or so,” he said.

Monroe County did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

The news comes after election officials in Lancaster County reported receiving two separate batches of apparently fraudulent or incomplete voter registration forms earlier this month.

The 2,500 forms deemed suspicious contained either false names, duplicate handwriting or unverifiable or incorrect identifying information, officials said. The problems prompted county election officials to notify both the Pennsylvania Department of State and the Attorney General's Office to launch a criminal investigation.

The applications were reportedly not limited to a single party and were collected from various locations throughout the county.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry sought to reassure voters in the Keystone State, indicating in a news release late Thursday that her office worked with the respective counties on and possibly opposed the apparent attempts to submit fraudulent ballots I have identified responsible organizations.

“While we are not disclosing sensitive information about these investigations, we want to be clear that the investigations relate to voter registration forms and not ballots,” Henry said. “These attempts were thwarted by Pennsylvania’s protections. We work with our partners every day to ensure a fair, free and safe election.”

She added: “Investigations are ongoing and offenders found to have committed fraudulent acts will be held accountable under the law.”
