From Fox News: An investigation by Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose has uncovered over 1,000 noncitizens who “appear to have registered to vote unlawfully in Ohio,” his office announced Tuesday.
LaRose says he has referred all 1,084 cases to the Department of Justice, noting that 167 of the individuals appear to have cast a ballot in a federal election since 2018. LaRose’s office also referred 135 others for potential prosecution, citing evidence of other unlawful voting activity.
“Ohio has earned its reputation as the Gold Standard, and our Election Integrity Unit continues to prove why,” LaRose said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “We work tirelessly to ensure that every eligible voter’s voice is heard, and anyone who tries to cheat the system will face serious consequences.”
LaRose sent a letter to the DOJ’s criminal division on Tuesday, highlighting the evidence of the 1,084 noncitizen voter registrations as well as other alleged crimes.
A press release posted on the Ohio Secretary of State website announced:
Secretary LaRose sent a letter and evidentiary materials related to 1,084 noncitizen individuals who appear to have registered to vote unlawfully in Ohio. This includes 167 noncitizens who appear to have also cast a ballot in a federal election, all of which occurred in the most recent four federal election cycles of 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024. Additionally, Secretary LaRose is referring for consideration evidence of the following:
- 99 individuals who appear to have voted in two states in the same federal election,
- 16 individuals who appear to have voted twice in Ohio in the same federal election,
- 14 individuals who appear to have voted in a federal election after the date of their death,
- 4 individuals who appear to have engaged in ballot harvesting, and
- 2 individuals who appear to have registered at a residence where they were not entitled to register.
In a letter to the Department’s Criminal Division, Secretary LaRose writes, “I have made numerous criminal referrals throughout my administration, with much of the evidence related to unlawful registration and voting activity. These cases have encountered varying degrees of adjudication from Ohio’s 88 county prosecutors. … We now have an executive administration at the White House and the Department of Justice that has expressed an interest in actively reviewing and potentially prosecuting evidence of federal election crimes. Therefore, I formally refer for your consideration the materials we have gathered and submitted to local and state prosecutors, and I have included with this letter documentation and evidentiary materials regarding each of the alleged offenses.”
