Jim Jordan criticizes Mayorkas for failing to respond to Ohio election integrity requests

Summary

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan has criticized Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas for not responding to multiple requests from Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose regarding federal citizenship verification records. Jordan claims that access to this data is essential for ensuring a secure voting process in Ohio, especially given concerns about election integrity.

In a letter addressed to Mayorkas, Jordan pointed out that LaRose’s initial request for citizenship verification records was made on July 19 and has since been met with silence despite four follow-up appeals. Jordan emphasized that LaRose has a statutory obligation to ensure that only lawfully registered citizens vote in federal elections, framing the request for access to the Department of Homeland Security’s citizenship verification databases as legally justified. He also highlighted the importance of this data in the context of the Biden administration’s immigration policies, which he argues have contributed to issues related to election security. Jordan has demanded a response from Mayorkas within two weeks, including answers to specific questions regarding the delay and access to relevant documents.
