385 non-citizens were identified as registered voters.

Non-citizens casting ballots: A new investigation reveals it is happening in Ohio, but in small numbers.

Monday Ohio's Secretary of State released the findings of his latest review of voter rolls. Jon Husted's investigation of voter fraud in Ohio turned up 385 non-citizens registered to vote.

Eighty-two of them actually voted in at least one election. For some perspective, last November, 7.8 million Ohioans were registered to vote. More than 5.6 million of them actually cast a ballot.

"Some people will look at those numbers and say, 'Gee that's not a big number when you consider millions of voters.' Others will say, 'Well you can't tolerate any element of voter fraud.' They're actually both right," Husted said.

Husted said it's possible some of those non-citizens registrations could be unintentional.

"They may be here on a student visa; they may ultimately want to become a citizen. But if you register to vote and you vote, that's a felony, and you'll lose your opportunity to become a citizen. So it benefits everybody, no matter where you are in this discussion, that we get this right, that we prevent it from happening."

Those who are registered and have not voted will receive letters giving them the opportunity to cancel their illegal registrations.

The 82 people who have actually cast ballots will be referred for possible prosecution.

"Voter fraud exists, there are non-citizens on the rolls, and sometimes they vote," Husted said. "It's rare and we're holding people accountable."

President Trump has claimed without evidence that three to five million people voted illegally in the November election. Husted said not in Ohio.

10TV asked Franklin University's chair of Public Administration whether Husted's findings lend credibility to President Trump's claims.

"No, I don't think so," said Dr. Alex Heckman. "They do suggest that it's quite rare to have fraudulent or illegal voting."

Heckman and Husted agreed, this report should give Ohio voters confidence in the statewide system.

"Because we're on top of it," said Husted. "We're not going to allow these kinds of things to happen without holding people accountable."

Husted said he is asking the Trump administration for access to federal databases to help Ohio prevent further cases of non-citizens registering and voting.
