Immigrants caught illegally voting in New Jersey elections

Four noncitizens have been caught voting in New Jersey, according to federal prosecutors.

Some of the illegal votes were cast in federal elections nearly six years ago but are only now coming to light, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for New Jersey. Officials said three suspects voted in the 2020 and 2024 presidential elections.

U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer said the four immigrants lied on their voter registration forms when they claimed they were citizens. Officials say all four suspects were green card holders, who are not citizens and are not allowed to vote in federal elections. Despite their status, they successfully registered to vote in New Jersey and were able to cast ballots.

“As alleged, the defendants broke federal law by voting in elections they were not eligible to participate in, and then made false statements under oath to conceal that conduct,” said Frazer.

Federal charges of false statements and citizenship fraud. According to federal prosecutors, each immigrant then applied to become a U.S. citizen and lied on their forms. The application process includes a form that requires each person to certify that they have never voted in a federal election.

“Under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, HSI is committed to ensuring integrity in our election systems and ensuring that American citizens — and only American citizens — are electing American leaders,” said ICE Director Todd M. Lyons.
