Skid Row
forgeries, illegal votes and a mayoral candidate: Election fraud cases pile up
nationwide

"The
Trump administration continues to crack down on voter fraud cases, including a
noncitizen who allegedly voted in a mayoral race he was fraudulently registered
for and a noncitizen arrested for allegedly lying about her citizenship to vote
in federal elections.
These
allegations span a slate of federal election-related cases highlighted by the
Justice Department in recent days, adding to a series of prosecutions targeting
noncitizen voting, fraudulent voter registrations and other alleged
election-related crimes.
The DOJ's
latest announcements involve California, Kansas, Louisiana, Texas and
Massachusetts, while federal prosecutors have brought a number of other cases
across the country in recent weeks amid the Trump administration's broader
efforts to bolster election security ahead of the midterms.
The White
House pointed to the new cases that continue to pile up as evidence supporting
the administration's crackdown.
"Despite
extreme Democrats and the media claiming it never happens, the evidence of
noncitizens registering and voting in our elections continues to pile up,"
White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital. "Any noncitizens
found registering and voting in our elections will be arrested and held
accountable. Only Americans should be electing American leaders."
The more
than a dozen defendants charged in cases announced this week face allegations
ranging from illegal voting and false claims of U.S. citizenship to fraudulent
voter registration and identity fraud. U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche
warned that individuals "gaming the election system, voting illegally or
committing voter fraud" will face prosecution, while federal prosecutors
in Texas said their seven cases "send a clear message" that laws
barring noncitizens from voting will be enforced.

The cases
add to the growing list of federal election-related cases brought in the past
few weeks on top of other prosecutions earlier this year involving noncitizens
accused of illegally registering or voting in U.S. elections. Less than two
weeks ago, the Justice Department charged five people in Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Wisconsin in cases involving alleged illegal voting or fraudulent
registration tied to the 2022 or 2024 elections.
The DOJ
separately charged an Indian national in Minnesota last week with falsely
claiming U.S. citizenship in order to vote in the 2024 general
election..."
