FBI Raids Soros-Connected Ohio Voter Mobilization Group in Fraud Investigation
American Greatness ^ | 16 Jun, 2026 | AG News Staff

Federal investigators executed search warrants at the headquarters of a Soros-aligned voter mobilization organization in Ohio as part of what sources described as an ongoing fraud investigation.

FBI agents searched the offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative on June 11 and conducted interviews with members of the organization across the state, according to reports. Some agents reportedly served subpoenas or sought to seize electronic devices during the operation.

Multiple sources familiar with the matter later told CBS News that the federal action was tied to a fraud-related investigation.

The Department of Justice declined to discuss the specifics of the case.

“Search warrants are authorized by a judge and anything said by any organization or others in the media is unfounded speculation, as the target of any investigation is not privy to the search warrant affidavit until after indictment,” a DOJ official told Fox News Digital.

The Ohio Organizing Collaborative is a nonprofit group involved in voter registration and voter mobilization efforts and works closely with Democrats in Ohio. The organization has also played a prominent role in statewide ballot campaigns and referendum efforts.

The investigation is part of the Trump administration’s effort to increase enforcement of election-related laws and allegations of voter fraud.

Tax records show the organization reported more than $10 million in revenue during 2024. Funding for the group has come from several major Democratic-aligned organizations and labor unions, including entities connected to the Soros family, the New Venture Fund, the Tides Foundation, the American Federation of Teachers and the Service Employees International Union.

According to the report, the Soros family’s Foundation to Promote Open Society provided approximately $1.9 million to the organization between 2019 and 2020. The Open Society Action Fund later contributed an additional $1 million to a related organization in 2021 and another $1 million in 2023.

The organization has been active in recent Ohio political battles. It spent $250,000 in 2023 opposing a Republican-backed effort related to abortion policy and another $300,000 the following year opposing a Republican redistricting proposal.

Organization leaders criticized the federal investigation and suggested it was politically motivated.

“How can they distract and intimidate civil rights leaders and voters and community leaders who are helping people get registered to vote, and create a national spectacle about it?” OOC board member Prentiss Haney told MS Now. “That is the only reason why they would choose to do that, do it now, in the middle of a contested political election in the state. There’s no other reason. They have no evidence of that.”

The group has previously faced scrutiny related to voter registration activities. In 2017, a paid canvasser working with the organization pleaded guilty in connection with a fraudulent voter registration operation.

I hope they can get something they can pin on Soros himself.

will not happen.

There at least ten shells between that being investigated and George Soros.

A more permanent solution is required to eliminate the Soros influence

I miss the good old days when a G.Gordon Liddy type would be dispatched to “deal with the Soros problem”.

At some point we’re going to need a DOJ that can actually bring charges and prosecute people for crimes, instead of only ever announcing endless ‘probes’ or investigations where it then disappears from memory before the next news cycle,

One would think some Somali with a third grade education marrying their brother while stealing a billion taxpayer dollars would be easy enough to track down.

Soros’ Ohio Organizing Collaborative is currently the subject of an ongoing federal criminal investigation into potential voter registration fraud.

On June 11, 2026, FBI and DHS agents conducted a massive operation, raiding the group’s Cleveland headquarters and questioning personnel statewide regarding 2024 voter registration activities.

Is there a certain number of layers or buffers or shells that makes racketeering no longer racketeering?

Offer the lower level operatives prosecutorial immunity if they’ll give up the higher-ups who orchestrated the fraud. Bonus points if it implicates Dem Party heads, such as Obama, Rice or Schumer.

Otherwise, waterboard them until they talk. We are at war.
