Ohio Christian Alliance
"WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE"  Ohio State Motto 

Ohio Christian Alliance commends Secretary of State Jon Husted in his efforts to get out in front of a voter integrity problem facing Ohio and other states in advance of the 2016 Presidential Election. When Pres. Obama issued an executive order granting work permits and social security numbers to 5 million  illegals, SOS Husted testifies that this is the identification that we use to register people to vote in Ohio. SOS Husted has asked the Administration for a real-time data base to keep these non-citiizens off Ohio's voter rolls. Mr. Husted testified before a Congressional committee last week addressing the problem. In a December 2013 report, SOS Husted's office discovered more than 245 non-U.S. citizens had registered to vote in Ohio in the 2012 Presidential Election, seventeen of whom actually cast a ballot that year.  The risk is that the problem will only increase unless something is done to secure Ohio's voter rolls.

CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE ON MAINTAINING VOTER ROLLS
Outlines risk to integrity of elections due to presidential executive actions on immigration.

COLUMBUS – In an effort to proactively address a potential issue facing elections officials in Ohio and throughout the country, Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted today testified before a joint hearing of the U.S. House Subcommittee on National Security and Subcommittee on Healthcare, Benefits & Administrative Rules regarding the impact President Barack Obama's recent Immigration Accountability Executive Actions may have on elections administration.

During his testimony, Secretary Husted noted that these executive actions will expand access to the forms of identification used to register to vote, thereby increasing the likelihood that non-citizens may illegally register to vote.

"For an estimated four to five million non-citizens, the President's executive actions provide access to Social Security numbers and driver's licenses. These are the same documents that federal law requires the states to recognize as valid forms of identification for voter registration," Secretary Husted said during today's testimony. "We want to find the least intrusive solution to closing this loophole without making it unnecessarily difficult to register or vote. While opinions may vary as to the best solution for this issue, one thing is clear: We cannot solve this federal problem solely at the state level alone."

Late last month, Secretary Husted sent President Barack Obama a letter raising these concerns and outlining a workable solution.
