Ohio Indicts Six Noncitizens for Illegal Voting

The charges follow a comprehensive audit of voter rolls revealing unauthorized participation in past elections.

Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost announced the indictments of six noncitizens accused of voting illegally in past elections, including 2016 and 2020.
The individuals, all legal permanent residents, face charges stemming from an audit that identified nearly 600 potential voter fraud cases.
The indicted individuals could face up to 18 months in prison if convicted of the fourth-degree felony charges.
The investigation was initiated after local prosecutors declined to pursue the cases, which were then referred to the Attorney General's office.
Election officials emphasize that such irregularities are rare and assert confidence in the security of the upcoming presidential election.
