FBI Raids Ohio Voter Group OOC in Fraud Probe as Soros-Linked Nonprofit Reported $10 Million Revenue

Summary

  • June 11 raids hit the Ohio Organizing Collaborative’s headquarters and prompted FBI questioning of members statewide, with some agents carrying subpoenas or seeking electronic devices in a reported fraud investigation.
  • A day later, sources told CBS News the operation was tied to a fraud-related probe; the Justice Department declined to discuss specifics, saying search warrants were judge-authorized and targets do not see affidavits before indictment.
  • OOC, a Democratic-aligned voter mobilization nonprofit, called the federal action political intimidation during a contested Ohio election and said investigators had no evidence.
  • The group has deep liberal funding ties — including about $1.9 million from a Soros family philanthropy in 2019-20 — and reported more than $10 million in 2024 revenue.
  • The raid adds to the Trump administration’s broader election-fraud crackdown, a push conservatives say was overdue but Democrats and voting-rights groups argue risks weaponizing the FBI against registration efforts.
