Group Helped Push Thousands Of Fraudulent Ballots, According To Arizona Election Officials
An Arizona company that appears to be led by the vice mayor of Mesa is tied to fraudulent voter registration forms in Maricopa County and Pennsylvania, according to officials.
Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer said there were multiple issues with voter registration forms in a press conference Monday. (REPORT: Washington Resident Says She Received 16 Ballots With Different Names)
Ninety-thousand forms were turned in on Maricopa County’s voter registration deadline Oct. 7, according to Richer.
“We had people with entire trash bags full of voter registration forms in our lobby,” he stated.
“40,000 approximately of those voter registration forms were, I think, the charitable word would be to say they were needing attention,” Richer noted.
He said the batch included forms that were damaged or ineligible.
“Voter registration forms that tried to register Mickey Mouse, Jerry Seinfeld, Donald Duck, among others,” he added.
If a voter registration form has been damaged, elections officials are still legally required to process it, Richer said.
“This has been a thorn in the side of county recorders throughout Arizona for many years, but it has picked up in recent years,” Richer stated.
One group that Richer said was involved in that batch of ballots was FieldCorps. The Arizona Corporation Commission lists the city of Mesa’s vice mayor, Francisco Heredia, as a member and manager.
Richer stated FieldCorps is a group the county has “not been wholly satisfied with,” specifically “the voter registration forms that have been submitted” and are associated with them.
“They played a significant role in the 90,000 forms that were dropped off,” Richer said. He could not confirm how many of the 40,000 ballots were from FieldCorps.
“And we have admonished them to please, please, please submit better voter registration forms to please do more quality control,” Richer stated.
Arizona isn’t the only state that was affected by the organization, according to officials. (RELATED: ‘Invited Fraud’: Key Swing State Could See Repeat Of 2020’s Ballot-Counting Chaos Thanks To Court Ruling)
Mike Mancusco, district attorney for Pennsylvania’s Monroe County, posted on Facebook that fraudulent forms were tied to a subsidiary of FieldCorps.
“A company calling itself ‘Field and Media Corps’ a subsidiary of FieldCorps, an Arizona based organization, working out of Lancaster County, in turn was responsible for submitting the forms in question to county officials.”
Mancusco stated the Monroe County Board of Elections found about 30 irregular forms and at least one applicant was deceased.
The website for “Field and Media Corps” does not appear to be operational.
A news release from PRNewswire states it is a “leading political field operations firm” and that FieldCorps is now Field + Media Corps. The Daily Caller reached out to the email addresses listed for the company and Heredia but has not heard back by time of publication.
The Caller also reached out to the Maricopa County Elections office, the Arizona AG’s office, the Monroe County DA’s office and Heredia’s communications director. The Caller has not heard back from any of the offices at the time of publication.
In 2023, the Arizona Attorney General’s Office said 24 forms from FieldCorps in two counties were sent to the AG’s Office to be investigated, NBC 12 News reported. That case was delegated to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and is still open, according to the outlet.
The AG said the forms were rejected and none of those individuals were registered voters.(Stream the Daily Caller’s Documentary ‘Rigged’ HERE)
A spokesperson for the AG’s office told NBC 12 News they have not received any official complaints about FieldCorps or other groups concerning voter registration forms in 2024.
States led by both Republicans and Democrats have raised voter fraud and ineligible voting as key issues.
In October, the North Carolina State Board of Elections (NCSBE) reportedly purged over 740,000 names from its voter rolls in 20 months. Democratic Oregon Gov. Tina Koteck called for an audit in early October after hundreds of ineligible voters were registered.
