Attorney General Gives Voter Fraud Cases Update

(COLUMBUS, Ohio)— Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine announced an update on the twenty cases referred to his office by Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted to be investigated for possible voter fraud as a result of Ohio’s voluntary involvement in the Interstate Crosscheck Program.

Agents from the Attorney General’s Office Bureau of Criminal Investigation (BCI) have investigated nineteen of the cases, and are in the process of investigating the remaining case. Nineteen cases have been turned over to county prosecutors’ offices. 

Of the twenty cases: 

Evidence in five cases was insufficient to prove criminality

Thirteen cases have been turned over to county prosecutors' offices

One case remains under investigation

Kim Trombetta plead guilty of one count of falsification in Butler County

“Ohioans should have confidence in the elections process, and know that no amount of fraud is acceptable,” said Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine.  “These cases show that if you cheat, you will be held accountable."

“Our commitment to cleaning up Ohio’s voter rolls and to share data with other states helps to ensure that we are dealing in facts and evidence when it comes to voter fraud,” Secretary Husted said. “I want to thank General DeWine and county prosecutors for their work to get to the bottom of these cases.”
