“Switcheroo: Ohio SoS Says Online Registration is the Solution to Non-Citizen Voting”

Doug Chapin: “Husted’s use of non-citizen voting to push OVR instead of voter ID is a really, REALLY important development; while states that have already adopted OVR often cite eligibility checks as a benefit, that fact often gets lots alongside expanding the electorate and cost efficiency. As the country prepares to enter another federal election year – which will inevitably bring renewed focus on the incidence and impact of voter fraud, including non-citizen voting – support for OVR as an anti-fraud measure could become a new talking point across the country. Given that OVR tends to attract consensus more than voter ID, this could signal another wave of states joining the trend toward online registration.”
