Mayorkas Stonewalls Ohio’s Request To Help Track Foreign Nationals On Voter Rolls
SUMMARY
Nearly three months after Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose requested access to federal citizenship verification records to prevent noncitizens from voting, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas has yet to respond. LaRose seeks access to key databases to uphold election integrity, especially amid concerns over illegal immigration. Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, has stepped in, demanding answers from Mayorkas, citing the urgency given the open-border policies under the Biden-Harris administration. LaRose expressed frustration, stating, "I’m tired of the stonewalling and delays from the Department of Homeland Security," accusing the administration of undermining efforts to maintain fair elections. Jordan's letter reminded Mayorkas that federal law mandates a response to such requests. Meanwhile, as Mayorkas withholds cooperation, Attorney General Merrick Garland's DOJ has targeted states like Virginia for removing noncitizens from voter rolls.
