The Frank LaRose office, serving as Ohio’s Secretary of State, announced today that it has referred approximately 1,200 criminal cases to the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) for possible federal prosecution, following investigations into alleged unlawful voting-and-registration activity within the state.
LaRose’s office reports that the bulk of the referrals — involving 1,084 individuals — relate to persons who “appear to have registered to vote unlawfully” as non-citizens in Ohio. Of those, his team says 167 non-citizens appear to have also cast ballots in federal elections spanning the 2018, 2020, 2022 and 2024 cycles.
