As Secretary of State, announced counts of noncitizens found on Ohio's voter rolls, including 137 flagged in May 2024 and 597 in August 2024, of whom he said 138 had voted. An Ohio Capital Journal investigation in 2023 found one legitimate case of noncitizen voter fraud among the 521 alleged cases his office had identified, and that fewer than 3 percent of the 641 potential voter-fraud referrals his office had made since taking office in 2019 had produced criminal charges.
