Six green card holders in Ohio have been indicted for illegally voting in previous elections.
Ahead of the November election, Attorney General Dave Yost announced the indictments during a press conference Tuesday morning.
“You will be held accountable in the state of Ohio,” Yost said.
Of the six people indicted, three were from Northeast Ohio. A 68-year-old man from North Royalton in Cuyahoga County who allegedly voted in 2014, 2016 and 2018; a 78-year-old woman from Hudson in Summit County who allegedly voted in 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019; and a 32-year-old man from Kent in Portage County who allegedly voted in 2016 and 2018.
The three others were based in the Columbus area. A 35-year-old man who allegedly voted in 2008 and 2020; A 53-year-old woman who allegedly voted in 2016 and 2020; and a 62-year-old woman who allegedly voted in 2016 and 2018.
Each of the six is a lawful permanent resident, also known as a green card holder.
“They’re allowed to be here, but they’re not a United States citizen and were not allowed to vote,” Yost said.
