On Thursday, June 11, the FBI raided the Cleveland offices of the Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC), a nonpartisan civic group founded in 2007 that runs voter registration drives and ballot-issue campaigns across the state. Agents also fanned out statewide to the homes of the group's leaders, staff, and even volunteers who had only done basic canvassing, seizing laptops and phones and seeking information about alleged "voter fraud."
What the OOC actually does: PBS reports it "describes its mission as fighting for criminal justice reform, racial justice and an expansion of voting rights." MS NOW reports it "facilitates statewide voter registration through grassroots, community-led programs" in Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati, and has joined lawsuits challenging redistricting that it argues dilutes Black voters' representation.
This is happening before the 2026 midterms, in a race where Sherrod Brown is reportedly polling ahead of First Energy Darling, Jon Husted, and Amy Acton is running for governor, against Vivek Trumpaswampy.
Registering voters is NOT voter fraud. Using 100+ federal agents to raid the people who register voters, and showing up at volunteers' homes, is nothing more than voter intimidation.
Nobody is backing down. Actually, all the associated groups are ramping up efforts to register even more voters.
https://www.gregpalast.com/election-stolen-heres/ (2016) Starting in 2013 – just as the Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act – a coterie of Trump operatives, under the direction of Kris Kobach, Kansas Secretary of State, created a system to purge 1.1 million Americans of color from the voter rolls of GOP-controlled states.
Greg Palast was involved in the following investigation and successfully together with the ACLU sued Crosscheck and got that specific program dismantled https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_Voter_Registration_Crosscheck_Program However, the problem remains as they find other ways to do it. It's blatantly illegal, but the enforcement mechanisms are weak.

"academics and states that use the program have found that its results are overrun with false positives, creating a high risk of disenfranchising legal voters. A statistical analysis of the program published earlier this year by researchers at Stanford, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and Microsoft, for instance, found that Crosscheck “would eliminate about 200 registrations used to cast legitimate votes for every one registration used to cast a double vote.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2017/07/20/this-anti-voter-fraud-program-gets-it-wrong-over-99-of-the-time-the-gop-wants-to-take-it-nationwide/ (un-paywalled: https://archive.ph/0T7ue)
