Overview
- Attorney General Dave Sunday filed counts Friday against six canvassers and Field+Media manager Guillermo Sainz over forms submitted in Lancaster, York and Berks counties.
- Charges include solicitation of registration, unsworn falsification, tampering with public records, forgery and election-law violations; one defendant also faces identity theft.
- An affidavit alleges Sainz instituted banned pay incentives and quotas that spurred fabrications to boost pay or keep jobs.
- Lancaster election workers initially flagged about 2,500 suspect applications near the 2024 deadline, prompting a review of several thousand forms across the three counties.
- Investigators say the fake registrations spanned all party affiliations and were not aimed at influencing results; Everybody Votes cooperated and its contract barred per-registration payments.
