“We’re upholding election integrity by investigating all claims of non-citizen voters.”
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel charged five noncitizens with illegally voting in the federal election of 2024 in the Wolverine State.
"In my office, we’ve always taken election crimes seriously, and prosecute attacks on our voting systems to the fullest extent of the law," Nessel said in a statement. "We’re upholding election integrity by investigating all claims of non-citizen voters, as rare as they are, and holding bad actors accountable when they refuse to abide by the laws that keep our elections safe and secure."
"These charges reflect the severity of the allegations, the sanctity of our democracy, and the tremendous consequences of voting illegally— whether that’s done to try and “test” security measures or to make an unlawful vote count," Nessel added.
Those who are charged include five non-citizens that allegedly voted as well as a US citizen that has been accused of registering her non-citizen spouse to vote in the 2024 election, per The Detroit News. Michigan is one of the states that President Donald Trump has scrutinized in relation to his claims about fraud in the 2020 election.
The charges come as the GOP in the Senate has failed to pass the SAVE America Act before lawmakers took recess. Leading up to the break for the senators, some Republicans led by Senator Mike Lee pushed for the Senate to stay in DC until the Senate pass the bill into law.
The case is part of a broader review being conducted by election officials.
