I’ve posted in the past on miserably failed efforts to document large scale voting by non-citizens, for instance in Georgia, and in Texas, Florida, South Carolina, New Hampshire (all in this posting) and Virginia. Now here’s Ohio. Each of these efforts try (like the definition of insanity) to perform the same data base matching test, and all confirm there is no problem.

Ohio Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, a member of the Republican Party, who has served since 2019 and has been endorsed by Donald Trump, searched for instance of non-citizens being on voter rolls. He found extremely few.

As reported by Fox News, LaRose has purged 635 persons from the voter rolls on the basis of their motor vehicle registration form stating there are non- citizens and their failure to respond to written inquiry by the state. The office stated, “These individuals failed to respond to notices from the Secretary of State’s office asking that they either confirm their citizenship status or cancel their registration.” The purges happened in two sets – 499 and 136.

The state compared three information sources: voter rolls, motor vehicle registration and the federal SAVE records.  The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program is an electronic system operated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services that allows federal, state, and local government agencies to verify the immigration status of non-citizens applying for public benefits or licenses.

There are approximately 8 million registered voters in Ohio.  This means that one of out 13,000 registered voters were deemed by the state as being non-citizens.

The common flaw in all attempts is the assumption that the matching databases are up to date to the day and that all entries are 100% what the party intended.
