In a recent government meeting, representatives discussed alarming findings from an audit of the 2022 election in Ohio, raising serious concerns about the accuracy and legality of the electoral process. The audit, conducted using official data from state elections officials, revealed significant discrepancies, including over one million ineligible or uncertain registrations and more than 600,000 votes cast by individuals who should not have been eligible.
The findings indicated that there were approximately 1.16 million more votes counted than the number of voters who participated in the election, suggesting potential manipulation or errors in the voting system. The resolution presented during the meeting called for immediate action to address these issues and ensure the integrity of future elections, particularly the upcoming 2024 general election.
The resolution emphasized the civil right to free and fair elections, citing legal precedents that underscore the importance of accurate voter rolls and the necessity for votes to be counted only from eligible voters. It outlined specific measures to enhance election security, including proof of citizenship for voters, public access to certified voter rolls, and stringent auditing processes to verify the accuracy of election results.
Representatives were urged to support the resolution, which aims to restore public confidence in the electoral process and uphold the principles of democracy. The meeting concluded with a commitment to further investigate the findings and ensure that the concerns of constituents are addressed effectively.
