FBI Raids Soros-Backed Voter Group’s Headquarters In Fraud Probe
MS Now reported that on June 11, FBI agents raided the Ohio Organizing Collaborative (OOC) headquarters and went across the state questioning members of the group, sometimes with subpoenas or electronic devices.
The raid is the latest flashpoint in the Trump administration’s expanded use of federal law enforcement to probe alleged voter fraud and election-related misconduct.
The push has been cheered by conservatives who have long argued such cases were underenforced and condemned by Democrats and voting rights groups who say the effort risks turning the FBI into a political weapon against liberal voter registration operations.
Multiple sources familiar with the events told CBS News a day later that the operations were part of a fraud-related investigation
It is especially active in ballot referendums, using its huge network of donors, including the philanthropies of the Soros family.
The Justice Department declined to comment on the specifics of the alleged investigation.
“Search warrants are authorized by a judge, and anything said by any organization or others in the media is unfounded speculation, as the target of any investigation is not privy to the search warrant affidavit until after indictment,” a DOJ official told Fox News.
OOC is a nonprofit organization that partners with the Democratic Party in Ohio on voter mobilization and registration efforts
OOC funds these things by tapping a deep well of liberal donors at the very top level.
Recent tax documents show the organization had more than $10 million in revenue in 2024.
Between 2019 and 2020, the Soros family’s Foundation to Promote Open Society gave OOC around $1.9 million.
Last year, the group spent $250,000 to oppose a GOP-led effort to block codifying the right to an abortion in Ohio’s constitution and another $300,000 on a subsequent Republican redistricting effort
In 2021, the Open Society Action Fund gave another $1 million to OOC’s sister organization, the Ohio Organizing Campaign, and followed up with another $1 million in 2023.
OOC has described the federal scrutiny as an example of the Trump administration politicizing the justice system.
Republicans, however, have yet to produce conclusive evidence of widespread voter fraud in recent election cycles.

OOC’s considerable financial resources are derived from a host of high-profile Democratic-aligned donor organizations like the Soros family’s philanthropies, New Venture Fund, and the Tides Foundation, as well as unions including the American Federation of Teachers and the Service Employees International Union
“That is the only reason why they would choose to do that, do it now, in the middle of a contested political election in the state. There’s no other reason. They have no evidence of that,” Haney added.
Earlier this year, President Donald Trump called for federal racketeering charges against Soros and his son, Alexander.
“We’re not going to allow these lunatics to rip apart America any more, never giving it so much as a chance to ‘BREATHE,’ and be FREE. Soros, and his group of psychopaths, have caused great damage to our Country! That includes his Crazy, West Coast friends. Be careful, we’re watching you! Thank you for your attention to this matter!” Trump added.
