This past Tuesday brought an example of decisive action taken by our leaders to uphold the rule of law. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose took a stand for the integrity of our elections by directing the purge of 'non-citizens' from the state's voter registration records, in the wake of an investigation revealing over 100 illegal immigrants had made their way onto the rolls.

The probe was carried out by the Public Integrity Division in Ohio, leading to the discovery of 137 non-citizens registered to vote. This, despite the fact that these individuals had twice confirmed their non-citizen status with the Bureau of Motor Vehicles in accordance with the law.

LaRose drew attention to the clear mandate expressed by the citizens of Ohio, who passed a constitutional amendment emphasizing the right to vote as a privilege reserved strictly for U.S. citizens. He declared that his role as Secretary of State carries the obligation to honor the constitution and the explicit directive from state lawmakers to verify the eligibility of all registered voters.

In a public statement from his office, LaRose outlined the action plan to address this issue. All non-citizens identified will receive at least two written letters requesting confirmation of their citizenship status, or alternatively, they can opt to revoke their voter registration.

Should they fail to respond to these communications, their registrations will be cancelled by the county election boards. This was confirmed by a representative from LaRose's office to Fox News Digital, with a clear assertion that lack of response would ultimately subject those individuals to removal from the state's voter rolls.
