Pa. election directors call for reforms to 3rd-party registration drives [View all]
The first sign of trouble appeared when Monroe County elections director Sara May-Silfee told a member of her staff to dig an envelope out of the trash.
A bundle of more than 20 voter registration forms arrived at the elections office the weekend before the Oct. 21 registration deadline for the 2024 presidential election. Election officials suspected the forms, several of which had the same handwriting and the same name listed as the person who helped with the form, might not be legit. The envelope the forms arrived in said they came from the Lancaster office of Arizona-based consulting firm Field+Media Corps.
May-Silfee called her counterpart in the Lancaster County elections office, director Christa Miller, to ask if she knew about the group or had seen similar sloppy registration forms.
May-Silfee’s inquiries triggered what would become a multicounty investigation. She referred her county’s forms to their district attorney, called the York County elections office, texted a group chat of other election directors and notified the Department of State, which oversees elections statewide.
