According to a source close to York County, Pennsylvania Washington Examiner that FieldCorps cooperated in the submission of voter registration forms for the Everyone Votes Campaign (EVC).

Last year, a conservative think tank called the Capital Research Center found in: report that EVC is legally the same entity as a charity called the Voter Registration Project. The charity worked with wealthy Democrats to raise $190 million and register more than 5 million people to vote in 2020, an advisory panel said, citing leaked documents from the nonprofit organization.

Charities are required to be impartial under federal law, but the think tank accused EVC of acting partisanly in order to spearhead “the largest and most corrupt ‘charitable’ voter registration drive in American history.” The voter registration project has seen some of its top donors include: George Soros and funds managed by Arabella Advisors, a Democratic consulting firm based in Washington, tax returns show. Its leader is Nellie Sires, the former director of the Wisconsin Democratic Party.

“Officials from Lancaster, York or Monroe counties have not contacted us regarding any ongoing investigations and we have no additional information about the forms in question,” an EVC spokesman said. “Our partners make every effort to ensure that all forms collected comply with all rules and regulations. If contacted, we intend to work with our partners and election officials to quickly resolve any discrepancies and ensure all eligible registrants have the opportunity to vote on Tuesday.”

Parker Thayer, a researcher who authored the Capital Research Center’s 2023 report, said his findings showed that EVC exists “to biasedly generate as many votes as possible in swing states for Democrats.”

“It is absurd,” Thayer added, that EVC claims it has no knowledge of FieldCorps-related voter registration forms since Sires, the nonprofit leader, disclosed it in interview that her group signs “joint effort agreements” with partners.

“With these latest allegations, Every Votes now has a pattern of paying sketchy canvassing consultants for shoddy work that results in the submission of vast numbers of questionable voter registration forms,” Thayer said. “If the salespeople under investigation said they worked for EVC, that means EVC almost certainly saw and checked the fraudulent registrations.”
