An investigation into fraudulent voter registration forms in Clark County, Ohio, has revealed illegal activity tied to recent Haitian migrants in Springfield.
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is urging election officials to remain vigilant as fraudulent voter registration efforts have surfaced just weeks before the 2024 election.
A voter registration form in Haitian Creole was rejected by the Clark County Board of Elections, prompting the Election Integrity Unit to investigate. The form is suspected to be linked to Black Fork Strategies, a progressive group accused of submitting fraudulent forms in several Ohio counties.
LaRose has warned that election boards must be on high alert to prevent illegal registrations, especially as third-party groups like Black Fork continue to canvass voters. His office is also utilizing federal databases to cross-check citizenship records and ensure that non-citizens are not illegally participating in Ohio elections.
With 30,000 new Haitian migrants in Springfield, election officials are under pressure to prevent voter fraud, especially as Ohio remains a crucial battleground state in the upcoming election.
