I live elsewhere in #Ohio & never heard about this!
Hey #mikedewine #DaveYost what do you say?
@QasimRashid I just sent a request to David Yost, AG of Ohio. I hold little hope that he will do anything as he is a SuperMAGA clown. I hope anyone else in Ohio will do the same. #ohio #daveyost #attorneygeneral #trump #spendingfreeze
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio’s elections chief on Wednesday referred for possible prosecution 597 apparent noncitizens who either registered to vote or cast a ballot in a recent election — a higher number than he normally finds, but still a tiny fraction of the state’s electorate.
Republican Secretary of State Frank LaRose said that of those cases, 138 were found to have cast ballots and 459 registered but did not vote. They were identified as part of a routine review and referred to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost.

Only a handful of noncitizen-related cases are ever prosecuted. However, this year's referrals come as preventing noncitizen voting has become a centerpiece of Republicans’ 2024 campaign messaging.
Earlier this year, LaRose launched an audit of the state's voter registration database that resulted in the removal of 154,995 registrations that he said had been confirmed to be abandoned and inactive for at least four consecutive years.

LaRose has said his citizenship verification efforts this year are the most comprehensive the office has ever undertaken. The analysis includes cross-checks against records provided by the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles, the Department of Homeland Security’s federal database of noncitizens, the Social Security Administration, federal jury pool data and other resources.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WKBN) -- Two busts involving drugs and cash on Interstate 70 have become some of the largest in state history, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost said Thursday.
The first happened on Aug. 3 in Madison County, near Columbus.

They found 300 pounds of methamphetamine, 17.6 pounds of cocaine and 30 pounds of marijuana, according to the attorney general.
The contraband has an approximate street value of $14.6 million.
Another bust on Aug. 6 led to the discovery of over $935,000 cash, the attorney general said.

"Drug traffickers intent on delivering destruction to central Ohio should take note -- our task force and our partners are watching," Yost said.
To compare, in all of 2023, major drug task forces seized a total of 349 pounds of meth and $5.5 million cash in Ohio.
