The Oklahoma Republican Party is calling for a comprehensive audit of the state's voter rolls after a nationwide counterfeit document scheme was uncovered by Homeland Security Investigations. The criminal enterprise produced and sold thousands of fraudulent immigration documents, including fake Social Security cards, green cards, and driver's licenses, which could have enabled non-citizens to illegally register to vote in Oklahoma.

Why it matters

This scandal threatens the integrity of Oklahoma's elections and the fair distribution of taxpayer-funded benefits, as counterfeit IDs could allow ineligible individuals to register to vote and access social services intended for American citizens and legal residents.

The details

According to the report, from August 2020 to February 2025, voter registration transactions in Oklahoma totaled 892,501, raising concerns that some of these registrations may be from individuals using fraudulent documents. The OKGOP is demanding that the State Election Board audit the voter rolls, cross-referencing registrations against known fraudulent document indicators and immigration status databases. They are also calling on federal agencies like DHS, ICE, and the DOJ to investigate the downstream impacts, including potential voter fraud and misuse of benefits.
