According to reports, a subsidiary of the Arizona-based consulting firm \u2062FieldCorps has been \u2064implicated in submitting fraudulent\u2064 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/virginia-democrat-governor-candidate-touts-endorsement-from-group-that-committed-voter-fraud-supports-defunding-police\/\" title=\"Virginia Democrat Governor Candidate Touts Endorsement From Group That Committed Voter Fraud, Supports Defunding Police\">voter registration forms<\/a> in Monroe and York counties, including forms submitted on behalf of deceased \u2062individuals. The situation \u2063is\u2063 further complicated by the claim that EVC \u200bis essentially the \u2064same organization as \u200bthe Voter Registration Project, a \u200dcharity that \u200draised $190 million in 2020 to help register over 5\u2064 million voters, with funding reportedly tied to Democratic donors including George Soros \u200cand managed by the Democratic-aligned Arabella Advisors. Charities are legally required\u2064 to be nonpartisan, leading to accusations\u2063 from a conservative think tank that EVC&#8217;s activities constitute \u200da partisan effort in violation of federal law. In\u2062 response, EVC maintains its\u2064 commitment to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/is-eric-swalwell-breaking-house-ethics-rules-by-soliciting-voter-information-for-the-dnc-on-twitter\/\" title=\"Is Eric Swalwell Breaking House Ethics Rules By Soliciting Voter Information For The DNC On Twitter?\">nonpartisan voter registration<\/a> and has not been officially contacted regarding \u2064ongoing investigations, expressing intent to cooperate with election officials if necessary.
