Ohio’s Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, has once again taken a firm stance against voter fraud, this time by referring 138 non-U.S. citizens to the state’s attorney general. These individuals were discovered on Ohio’s voter rolls during an ongoing audit aimed at ensuring the integrity of the state’s elections. LaRose, committed to safeguarding the sanctity of the electoral process, continues to root out ineligible voters, a task that has uncovered hundreds of non-citizens registered to vote this year alone, as reported by Fox News.

LaRose’s office has been systematically purging Ohio’s voter rolls for months, ensuring that the state’s elections remain fair and secure. This methodical process has been anything but routine—it represents a vigilant commitment to the principles that underpin our democracy. Earlier this year, Fox News Digital reported the removal of hundreds of non-citizens, a move that caught the attention of many concerned with the integrity of the voting process. The latest figures now reveal that a total of 597 cases have been identified, underscoring the scale of the issue.

“I’m duty-bound to make sure people who haven’t yet earned citizenship in this country do not vote in our elections,” LaRose stated, underscoring his unwavering dedication to upholding the state constitution. His words echo the sentiments of many Ohioans who demand that only lawful citizens have the right to shape the future of their communities. Out of the 597 cases identified, a concerning 138 individuals appear to have actually cast ballots in Ohio elections despite lacking U.S. citizenship. These findings, backed by both state and federal records, highlight the importance of LaRose’s ongoing efforts to protect the integrity of Ohio’s elections and ensure that every legitimate vote is counted.

The audit, which is still ongoing, has also led to the removal of approximately 155,000 voter registrations that were found to be abandoned or inactive for over four consecutive years. This thorough process relies on meticulous cross-checks against records from various federal and state agencies, including the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, and the Social Security Administration. These measures ensure that only eligible voters are registered and that the integrity of Ohio’s elections is maintained.

As a crucial swing state, Ohio plays a pivotal role in national elections, making it essential that only eligible voters participate. Former President Donald Trump has frequently expressed concerns about potential voter fraud, highlighting the importance of LaRose’s efforts in maintaining election integrity. The crackdown on non-citizen voters in Ohio underscores the state’s dedication to ensuring that every legitimate vote is counted, reflecting a broader conservative commitment to transparency and fairness in the electoral process.
