The 10 defendants are from various countries, and all of them are lawful permanent residents, also known as Green Card holders.
The ten defendants are from various countries, and all of them are lawful permanent residents, also known as Green Card holders, according to a press release from the Department of Justice (DOJ).
"Today's charges allege that ten foreign nationals committed voter fraud in Minnesota, one voting illegally as recently as this August's primary," said Attorney General Todd Blanche. "The law is clear, only American citizens may vote in American elections, and enforcing this law is fundamental to our democracy. That should not be a partisan concept."
This comes as the DOJ has increased its efforts to investigate and prosecute voter fraud across the nation, rendering a series of indictments in recent months.
"Our message to aliens who vote in American elections is clear: we will find you, arrest you, and you will face the consequences, including criminal charges and deportation," said Markwayne Mullin, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
Defendants who have been federally charged in the US District Court for the District of Minnesota include:
- Bhator Konah Bryant, 61, of Liberia, who allegedly falsely claimed US citizenship when registering to vote on October 18, 2024. She has been charged in one count of making a false claim of citizenship to vote.
- Edvile Vaidoto Edmunds, 59, of Lithuania, who allegedly illegally voted as an alien in Minnesota on November 8, 2022. She has been charged on one count of voting by alien.
- Joshua Frederick Kofi Edzie, 63, of Ghana, who allegedly illegally voted as an alien in Minnesota on August 11, 2026, and claimed false citizenship in order to vote on October 23, 2024, and August 11, 2026. He has been charged on two counts of making a false claim of citizenship in order to vote and one count of voting by alien.
