The Spin


The FBI raid on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative is a politically motivated attack on voter registration, not a legitimate law enforcement action. Sending over 100 agents to knock on doors, question people in front of their children and follow them to work is straight-up intimidation designed to suppress Black and urban voters ahead of the midterms. Voter registration is not voter fraud, and using federal power to make it seem otherwise is an assault on democracy.

The FBI raid on the Ohio Organizing Collaborative was a legitimate investigation into a group with a documented history of fraudulent voter registrations, including a 2017 guilty plea by a paid canvasser who forged signatures and registered dead people. This is exactly the kind of ballot harvesting operation that undermines election integrity, and law enforcement stepping in to investigate is the system working as intended. Calling it intimidation ignores a real paper trail of fraud.
