JUST read this from Ohio's Secretary of State, written in 2017 as part of the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity Resources:
In addition, my office has used what data-matching resources are available to us to identify noncitizens on Ohio’s voter rolls. To date my office has identified 821 individuals on the voter rolls who were non-citizens, of whom 126 have cast ballots and have been referred for prosecution.
This leads me to my first recommendation for consideration by the Commission. The federal
government maintains a database of legally present non-citizens. However, access to this
resource is limited, and searching it is difficult unless the individual’s Alien Identification
Number is a part of the state records. '''Since the federal government issues Social Security
numbers to non-citizens and requires states to register a voter using the last four digits of that
person’s Social Security number''', the federal government should give states better and more
efficient access to federal databases to enable them to verify eligibility. Otherwise there is no
way to know if a person using this information to register to vote is a citizen or not.
