Seventy-seven apparent non-citizens voted in Ohio's general election in November 2018, the state's top election official says, and another 277 were able to successfully register in violation of state law
The announcement from Republican Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose -- coming after years of GOP warnings of massive voter fraud -- means that of the 4,496,834 ballots cast in Ohio on November 6, 2018, just .002% of them were illegal.LaRose's office said those caught are in the US legally, but do not hold US citizenship, and have been referred for investigation and prosecution by the state attorney general.
The issue of voter fraud, however, has been a main focus of President Donald Trump. Without evidence, he has spread conspiracy theories that undocumented immigrants in the millions voted for his Democratic opponent, Hillary Clinton, in the 2016 election and falsely claimed there was mass voter fraud that cost him the popular vote. An investigation by a now-disbanded commission Trump formed to investigate election integrity found no evidence of the claim.
