Americans are still awaiting the outcome of the mass voter registration fraud committed in Pennsylvania by an Arizona activist group working for the Kamala Harris campaign and other top Democrats.

Mesa-based “FieldCorps,” the parent organization of Field+Media Corps (also spelled as “Field and Media Corps”), was confirmed as the voter registration fraud perpetrator for multiple counties in the key swing state, and suspected in at least one other. The known number of fraudulent voter registrations numbers has been estimated to be in the thousands.

FieldCorps turned in the faulty voter registrations on behalf of the Everybody Votes Campaign (aka the Voter Registration Project).

Mesa Vice Mayor Francisco “Frankie” Heredia operates Field+Media Corps, launched in 2017. Most of the websites and social media pages for Field+Media Corps and FieldCorps have been deleted.

Mesa Mayor John Giles was behind the “Republicans for Harris” initiative launched in August. That organization has also been turned in for an investigation, though by the Federal Elections Commission.

Per their recently-deleted website, Field+Media Corps clients included the Harris (and formerly Biden) campaign, the Arizona Democratic Party and several candidates, Chicanos Por La Causa, Arizona Education Association, Activate 48, and CHISPA AZ.

The least number of FieldCorps-delivered voter registrations were reported in Monroe County: around 30 registration forms were flagged for irregularity.

Monroe County elections director Sara May-Silfee told media outlets that the voter registration submissions received in October dated back to June. May-Silfee also reported that the suspect registrations all listed broken or fractured hands and arms as the reasons for having another fill out the application on their behalf — though a check through online records revealed fake or incorrect personally identifying information such as Social Security numbers, phone numbers, and addresses.

“I realized they were dated months before, and really, you shouldn’t be holding registration that long,” said May-Silfee.

A similar story played out in York and Lancaster counties, but by the thousands.

York County reported nearly 3,100 suspect registrations, with over half confirmed to have missing or faulty information. An exact total for the number of fraudulent registrations has not been provided.

Lancaster County also announced the discovery of approximately 2,500 suspect applications. Their elections office received these applications at or near their voter registration deadline, according to district attorney Heather Adams. Officials have not confirmed FieldCorps (Field and Media Corps) to be behind those fraudulent registration forms.

“At this point, it is believed that the fraudulent voter registrations are connected to large-scale canvassing operations that date back to June,” said Adams. “Thus far, of the investigations that we have completed, we have determined that 60 percent have been fraudulent.”

Adams relayed the indicators of fraud discovered included address inaccuracies, false personal identification information, false names, and names not matching Social Security information.

In some cases, Adams said that the correct personal identifying information was given on the registration forms — home addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, drivers license numbers, and even Social Security numbers — but that the individuals on those applications, when contacted, denied ever having filled out those registration forms and verified that the signatures on those forms weren’t theirs.

Adams said that applications were also received from Columbia, Elizabethtown, Mount Joy, Akron, Ephrata, Stevens, Strasburg, and other locations across Lancaster County.

Berks County also reportedly dealt with similar suspect voter registrations, but further details weren’t provided.

FieldCorps’ voter registration efforts apparently come with some perks.

Field and Media Corps vice president of communications and content, Pita S. Juarez, enjoyed perks courtesy of the Harris campaign. Juarez has worked for other progressive dark money activist organizations, such as One Arizona.

“Thanks to the Harris campaign, I was able to have full access as an ‘influencer’ and definitely took the opportunity to influence the online community to get hyped up and vote early in Arizona!” posted Juarez on LinkedIn.

Other leaders of Field and Media Corps were Sandra Carranza-Ruiz (vice president of media) and Eduardo Sainz (COO/Partner) — both have deleted their LinkedIn profiles. Carranza-Ruiz’s late husband, Genaro Ruiz, was a director for Chicanos por la Causa.

Karina Felix, Field and Media Corp’s strategic compliance and finance advisor, was formerly the CFO for Mi Famila Vota.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Michelle Henry, nominated to the position by Democratic governor Josh Shapiro, claimed that the discovery of the fraudulent voter registration forms across multiple counties meant that any voter fraud had been “defeated” before it could affect the election.

“These attempts have been thwarted by the safeguards in place in Pennsylvania,” said Henry.
