Foreign Nationals Charged
The Justice Department has charged 64 foreign nationals across 17 states with unlawful voting, fraudulent voter registration, and election-related offenses. The charges come as federal prosecutors increase enforcement of election integrity. Minnesota has the most cases with 11 defendants, followed by Pennsylvania with 10 and Texas with nine.
Focus on Election Integrity
The nationwide crackdown is part of a broader effort to scrutinize voter-registration safeguards ahead of the November midterms. Recent elections have shown how even a few illegal ballots can influence outcomes. The DOJ has charged 104 people with voting fraud-related offenses since 2025, according to the department’s latest tally.
Examples of Illegal Votes
The cases include allegations of fraudulent registration applications and ballots cast in multiple elections. In Pennsylvania, a Filipino national pleaded guilty to illegally voting in the 2024 presidential election. In Louisiana, an ex-mayoral candidate was indicted for voting by an alien, allegedly submitting a registration in the name of a Jamaican national.
States with High Numbers
California, Florida, and New Jersey each have four defendants. Louisiana accounts for five, and New Jersey, California, and Florida each have four. The DOJ said it is bringing more than twice as many election-fraud cases each week as the six-vote margin in the Iowa race.
Impact on Elections
The prosecutions have reached Republican-led states, including Texas, Louisiana, and Florida. In New Jersey, approximately 6,600 people indicated they were not citizens but were erroneously registered through the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission. Fewer than 400 subsequently voted, according to the governor’s administration.
