An investigation has uncovered an illegal voter registration form operation taking place in Clark County after thousands of Haitians flooded the Springfield area in Ohio.
Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose is now warning election boards to be vigilant as voter fraud continues to be a major issue in America.
In a media advisory, the secretary of state’s office noted:
“The office’s Election Integrity Unit recently concluded an investigation into the origins of an illegal voter registration form translated into the Haitian Creole language. The Clark County Board of Elections reported this form to our office after rejecting its submission by a local applicant.”
Director of investigations for the Secretary of State’s Public Integrity Division, Hun Yi, said in a memo:
“The Board confirmed they’ve only received one of these unauthorized forms, but they rightly recognized it as illegal and worked with my team to track down its source with the help of a county government assistance office.”
“The form was erroneously included among others outsourced to a foreign language translation service. It garnered national attention considering the high number of Haitian refugees that have recently migrated to the Springfield area, and it serves as an important reminder that boards and designated voter registration agencies should be vigilant about the use of forms submitted to their office,” Yi added.
As many as 30,000 illegal migrants from Haiti have moved into the small town of Springfield, Ohio, after the Biden-Harris administration extended Temporary Protected Status to 300,000 Haitians earlier this year.
Following the migration, Springfield’s population jumped from 60,000 to more than 80,000 overnight, putting a massive strain on hospitals, schools, and social services.
LaRose’s press release noted the ongoing investigation into “evidence of a pattern of fraudulent voter registration activity in multiple counties under the paid employment of a group called Black Fork Strategies. “
According to Black Fork’s website, its goal is “building long-term progressive power” through canvassing and voter registration.
In August, LaRose’s office referred several election fraud cases involving Black Fork for prosecution.
“Prosecutors in 20 counties received referrals for violations involving petition forms to grant minor party status, petition forms to place a constitutional amendment regarding redistricting on the November ballot, and fraudulent voter registration forms submitted by canvassers working on behalf of Black Fork Strategies LLC,” his office said.
“The office’s Election Integrity Unit has been working to build the referrals to assist each county prosecutor with successful enforcement of the law, including criminal charges.”
According to the director of elections for Hamilton County, Sherry Poland, the board of elections uncovered several instances of fraud, including a “stack of registration forms” with identical handwriting submitted by a Black Fork canvasser.
Hamilton County Board of Elections member and chairman of the Ohio Republican Pary, Alex Trianfaflou, said, “The first thing I want to point out is, you know, we use words like ‘anomalies,’ ‘suspicion,’ and everything else because we try to be PC, I guess. But this is fraud, outright fraudulent behavior.”
“Who’s responsible or how they’re responsible, that will be up to somebody other than me,” he added. “It’s plain and obvious to me when you get this many registration cards with the very same handwriting that someone is trying to defraud the elections process in Hamilton County.”
Canvassers using non-English speaking individuals for their own advantage is nothing new.
Last year, LaRose announced the referral of 597 non-citizens for prosecution after they were found to have either registered to vote or cast a ballot illegally.
The number highlights the ongoing efforts by Ohio’s Republican leadership to combat voter fraud.
Yi said in the press release on Thursday:
“All county boards should be vigilant about the integrity of registration forms submitted by any public or private entity, especially third-party groups hiring paid operatives who often work on a bounty system based on the quantity, not quality, of their work.”
“This is a reminder to all of our elections officials to be vigilant as we enter the final weeks of voter registration eligibility for the 2024 general election,” LaRose warned.
“We’re continuing to aggressively pursue third-party groups and paid canvassers who’ve been submitting fraudulent registration forms, and we’re cracking down on the use of illegal forms that aren’t authorized by my office as the law requires. These investigations are happening even as we continue to broaden the enforcement of Ohio’s constitutional citizenship voting requirement.”
There is no limit to what the left would do for control.
Wrong day to forget to wear my boots, you know the ones for the deep shit….
If the vote were truly the sacred cow I hear some make it out to be there’d be summary executions in response to this type of thing.
In Springfields community meeting the Mayor made it quite clear “the Haitians aren’t leaving any time soon.”.........So it’s basically exactly what the Obamas said....”YOU will learn to live along side other cultures - like it or not - even if we have to bring you kicking and screaming”. That’s the current policy across this country. That will remain so under any Demorat administration. They are prepared to handle any public outcry no matter what form it takes.
“””” “The office’s Election Integrity Unit recently concluded an investigation into the origins of an illegal voter registration form translated into the Haitian Creole language”””
1. Only USA CITIZENS can vote.
2. How long does it typically take for a typical Haitian to become a Naturalized Citizen? I suspect it is several years.
3. So if it takes several years to go through the Naturalized Citizenship process, then why would need ballots printed in Haitian Creole?
4. How many Haitian Naturalized Citizen live in Ohio?
Surprise!
That’s one they’re admitting to.
I expect nothing less from the Demo-cats (meow).
The cat’s out of the bag now!
The good Freepers played a positive role/effort towards exposing the voter B$ via the Ohio cat eating stories.
$crew the negative crybabies, who defended the dark side and made fun of us.
Great post:

DHS gives then approval to be in the US, with which they can get driver’s licenses, with which they can register or be registered to vote, and they or the Dem operatives can yield an illegal vote.
“””Last year, LaRose announced the referral of 597 non-citizens for prosecution after they were found to have either registered to vote or cast a ballot illegally.”””
And why have we read ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the prosecution and jailing of these criminals?
There is a reason the Democrats and REPUBLICANS can say there is little evidence of non-citizens voting.
NO PROSECUTION = NO EVIDENCE
Being chased down by Haitians, no doubt.
I just noticed the crap language mandated forms with every medicare statement have gone from one complete page ,, now to TWO PAGES. Gott be 30 languages
Time to do ENGLISH ONLY
Since reading, writing, and speaking basic English is a requirement for naturalization, I’m not sure why foreign/multiple language ballots are needed at all. For those born here who have never learned English by reaching voting age, difficulty voting is the least of their problems.
