The FBI searched the office of an Ohio-based voting-rights group this week as part of an ongoing fraud investigation.
The Ohio Organizing Collaborative, the target of the investigation, works to register voters and campaigns for progressive left-wing causes.
The organization claimed it registered over 160,000 voters ahead of the 2024 election.
Federal agents also interviewed employees and volunteers as part of the probe.
One interviewee who spoke to CBS said the questions were about voter fraud.
A DOJ official refused to discuss the details of the case, saying the search warrant affidavit remains under seal.
“Search warrants are authorized by a judge and anything said by any organization or others in the media is unfounded speculation, as the target of any investigation is not privy to the search warrant affidavit until after the indictment,” the official said.
The Ohio Organizing Collaborative has faced accusations of voter fraud in the past. In 2017, a woman working for the group in Columbiana County was sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to 13 counts of false voter registration and one count of electronic falsification of signatures.
Groups that have financed the Collaborative, such as the New Venture Fund, Tides Foundation and the Voter Registration Project, have also faced scrutiny.
The Department of Justice has made voter fraud a key focus of investigations in the run-up to the 2026 midterm elections.
For example, the DBI subpoenaed Minnesota’s secretary of state to obtain voter records and also recently attempted to interview the director of elections in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin.

You are describing to a “T” exactly what Donald Trump did to Thomas Massie in KY, getting him replaced with tons of AIPAC money and a dual Israeli citizen.
