Only 13 People Cast Illegal Ballots in 2020, Ohio Secretary of State Says
More than 100 people in Ohio are accused of illegally registering to vote and casting ballots during the 2020 election cycle, Secretary of State Frank LaRose announced Monday.
LaRose acknowledged some of these cases involve “honest mistakes” and reflect only a small portion of the millions of ballots cast here in 2020. Though he touted Ohio’s election system as secure, the secretary called for improvements he said would prevent these illegal ballots from being cast in the future.
LaRose’s office is referring the cases to the state attorney general, the first step in what could lead to felony prosecutions.
Those accused are legal residents, but non-United States citizens.
In total, LaRose is referring 104 cases of people being illegally registered to vote and an additional 13 cases of people actually casting illegal ballots. There are more referrals yet to come, the secretary said.
