Seriously, you’re going with a story about “appearing” registered to vote?
Either they are or they aren’t, registered to vote.
Let us know when someone, anyone, is indicted for “appearing” to be registered to vote.
In Ohio it would be easy to track anyone down trying to commit voter fraud. Ohio has strict voter ID laws that they match with computer data on every voter every time they vote. Of course, fraud could happen, but it’s very rare and if it did occur it would be immeasurable.
Actual voter fraud is exceedingly rare in Ohio, confirmed by the state’s own election officials, and cases referred for prosecution represent a minuscule fraction of the millions of votes cast. The vast majority of alleged fraud cases are determined to be human error or registration issues rather than intentional criminal acts.
Official statistics on voter fraud
2020 General Election: Out of almost 6 million ballots cast, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office referred 27 cases of potential illegal voting to prosecutors. In total, 62 potential fraud cases were identified in 2020, with 31 involving non-citizens who had registered to vote but not cast a ballot.
Non-citizen registration: A 2021 investigation found that 104 non-U.S. citizens had registered to vote, with 13 of them having successfully cast a ballot in the 2020 election. The Secretary of State’s office noted that some of these cases were likely honest mistakes made during registration.
Security measures in place
Ohio has implemented several security protocols to protect the integrity of its elections.
Voter registration and list maintenance: State officials use various methods to keep voter rolls accurate, such as removing inactive voters and cross-referencing information with other states.
Mail-in ballot security: For mail-in ballots, voter signatures on the return envelope are compared to the signature on file. In 2025, a new law required voters to provide additional identifying information, such as the last four digits of their Social Security number or state ID, on the mail-in ballot return envelope.
Election Integrity Unit: The Ohio Secretary of State’s office created a full-time Election Integrity Unit in 2022 to investigate and refer potential election crimes to the state attorney general.
Common sources of error, not fraud
Many of the issues flagged for investigation are due to administrative or voter error, not deliberate fraud. Examples include:
Voter registration mistakes: Errors can occur at the Bureau of Motor Vehicles or other agencies during the voter registration process.
Double voting in error: Sometimes a person may vote in two different states because they moved but did not update their registration, not because they intended to commit fraud.
Risks of overstating fraud
While the state has measures in place to prevent fraud, some have raised concerns that recent legislation and actions by election officials could inadvertently disenfranchise eligible voters. This is because overly aggressive efforts to “clean” voter rolls could result in eligible voters being removed, especially vulnerable populations like the elderly, students, or those who frequently move.
Heres the kicker, Kevin.
