Ohio reveals 100 non-citizens voted in recent elections

The state of Ohio just revealed that more than 100 hundred individuals who are not U.S. citizens voted in recent elections. 

Fox News reports that Ohio Secretary Of State Frank LaRose made the revelation on Thursday, Aug. 22, 2024.

LaRose's office has released a report on the situation, which can be found here.

The significance of this finding is twofold: for one, it shows that our elections might not be secure as we are told they are, and, for another, it contradicts the Democrats' narrative that our elections are secure.

The details:

The finding comes after LaRose, earlier this year, launched a "comprehensive audit" of Ohio's voter registration database.

According to LaRose's office:

Earlier this year, Secretary LaRose launched a comprehensive audit of Ohio’s voter registration database, resulting in the removal of 154,995 registrations confirmed to be abandoned and inactive for at least four consecutive years.

In addition to this, LaRose initiated what his office refers to as "the most extensive citizenship verification audit ever."

The office writes:

The analysis included cross-checks against records provided by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) federal Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, the Social Security Administration, federal jury pool data, and other resources. The office is currently seeking to expand its citizenship audit protocols to include the federal Person Centric Query System (PCQS), also maintained by DHS.

What the office found - so far - is that hundreds of non-citizens have registered to vote in the upcoming election, and over 100 non-citizens have already voted in elections.

It's true

LaRose has now referred these non-citizen voters to Ohio's attorney general, Dave Yost.

"I’m duty-bound to make sure people who haven’t yet earned citizenship in this country do not vote in our elections," LaRose said.

Yost will now decide whether or not to prosecute each individual who has been recommended to his office by LaRose.

LaRose continued:

We’ve so far identified 597 individuals who’ve registered to vote in Ohio despite not being citizens of the United States, as our state constitution requires. The evidence includes 138 individuals who appear to have cast a ballot in an Ohio election during the time state and federal records show they lacked citizenship status. The law requires me to refer these individuals to the attorney general, and that’s what we’re doing today.

LaRose also emphasized that his efforts remain ongoing - that these figures are only what he has found so far.
