York County Chief Clerk Greg Monskie confirmed this week that his county was reviewing suspect forms. County Commissioner Julie Wheeler issued a statement saying voter registration forms and mail-in ballot applications were among a “large delivery containing thousands of election-related materials” that the county elections office received from a third-party organization. She said that if a review comes across suspected fraud, the district attorney will investigate….
The York district attorney’s office said it was in contact with the board of commissioners and elections office, but did not indicate if a criminal investigation had been launched.
Lancaster County officials have not disclosed who they suspect is responsible. In a text exchange with The Associated Press, Wheeler attributed the documents that York County received to Field+Media Corps, which she said was “acting on behalf of” the Everybody Votes Campaign. Everybody Votes is a nonpartisan national organization that promotes voter registration.
In an email Tuesday, Field+Media Corps chief executive Francisco Heredia said his Mesa, Arizona-based organization had not been contacted by election officials in Pennsylvania counties and had no additional information on the alleged problematic forms.
If Field+Media Corps does get contacted, he said, it will “work with local officials to help resolve any discrepancies to allow eligible people to vote.” He said there were six or seven other organizations also working in the area.
In an email response, a spokesman for the Everybody Votes Campaign said this week that it had not been contacted by officials in Lancaster, York or Monroe counties about any ongoing investigation and had no additional information on the forms.
