The US Department of Justice is investigating possible voter fraud in Pennsylvania, with three districts reporting irregularities. Two districts have identified the company Field+Media Corps as the culprit, while the third district, examining 2500 suspicious cases, has not disclosed further information.
Field+Media from Arizona submitted thousands of voter registration forms in Pennsylvania at the last minute. The company specializes in campaigns to mobilize voters and has been active for the Democratic Party since 2018. There are thousands of suspicious cases in total, with forms allegedly submitted on behalf of people unaware of it. In one case, the applicant was deceased. The company's director claims to have a 'zero tolerance' policy towards tampering with forms by employees.
Field+Media Corps states that it has been registering voters in Pennsylvania for five months on behalf of the foundation Everybody Votes, which focuses on mobilizing voters from ethnic minorities. The foundation is led by a former Democratic party official.
The Republican Party has demanded a thorough and expedited investigation into the matter. They are raising questions about the financing of these efforts, the group's activities in other states, and any connection to left-wing dark money groups.
The issues in Pennsylvania are casting a shadow over the upcoming elections. The revelation of possible fraud has led to false accusations of manipulation. According to polls, Trump is leading Harris in the swing state by a narrow margin of 0.2 percent, equivalent to approximately 17,000 votes. Winning Pennsylvania is considered crucial in the race for the White House, as it has the most electoral college votes of all seven swing states, with nineteen in total. Harris and Trump need 270 electoral votes to become the new president.
