Jordan questions Mayorkas on Ohio election integrity amid border concerns
- Jim Jordan has demanded information from DHS regarding their non-compliance with requests from Ohio's Secretary of State.
- Frank LaRose has previously sought federal citizenship information to ensure eligible voting in Ohio.
- The lack of response from DHS raises concerns about election integrity and the enforcement of voting laws in the state.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan has expressed concerns regarding the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) lack of response to requests from Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose. LaRose has sought federal citizenship information to ensure that only eligible voters participate in Ohio elections. Jordan's letter to DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas highlights the importance of maintaining the integrity of voter rolls and the statutory obligations of LaRose in enforcing election laws. The situation is exacerbated by the perceived open-borders policies of the current administration, which Jordan argues complicate the enforcement of election integrity. The lack of communication from DHS raises questions about the federal government's commitment to supporting state election officials in their efforts to uphold election laws and protect the voting process in Ohio.
