Hundreds of ‘noncitizens’ sent to DOJ for prosecution after they apparently registered to vote

Hundreds of “noncitizens” who allegedly registered to vote, or even voted, in Ohio elections have been referred to the Department of Justice for prosecution. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced he has found more than 1,000 noncitizens who “appear to have registered to vote unlawfully in Ohio,” and all of them, 1,084 individuals, have been sent to the DOJ to face prosecution. “Ohio has earned its reputation as the Gold Standard, and our Election Integrity Unit continues to prove why,” he told 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.” He noted 167 of the individuals appear to have actually cast a ballot in a federal election, and there were 135 others referred for “other unlawful voting activity.” Some of those allegedly voted in two locations in Ohio, or in two states, in the same election. Several appear to have voted “after the date of their death.” The work is part of LaRose’s plan to clean up Ohio’s voter rolls, launched before the 2024 vote. Part of that work included his lawsuit against Joe Biden because of his administration’s refusal to provide data that could have back then helped identify those in various schemes. The report explained his office also took more than 155,000 names on voter registration rolls because they were abandoned or inactive. The report explained the names came up when investigators cross-checked lists provided by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, the Social Security records and more.
