The Justice Department reported 64 charges against foreign nationals in 17 states over roughly five weeks, according to figures it provided to Fox News Digital. The alleged offenses include unlawful voting and fraudulent voter registration. Charges are accusations, and the department’s tally does not establish that any case affected an election result.
Minnesota had the most defendants, with 11, followed by Pennsylvania with 10 and Texas with nine. Louisiana had five; New Jersey, California and Florida each had four. The department also said it has charged 104 people with voting-fraud-related offenses since 2025.
The cases described include guilty pleas as well as pending allegations. In Pennsylvania, Filipino national Evelyn Miller pleaded guilty to illegally voting in the 2024 presidential election, Fox News Digital reported. In other cases, prosecutors allege that individuals submitted fraudulent registration applications or voted while ineligible. The supplied account does not report final outcomes for all defendants.
The Justice Department says it is pursuing election-related cases as federal officials examine voter-registration safeguards ahead of the November 2026 midterms. Its spokesperson argued that even a single unlawful ballot can matter, citing the six-vote margin in Iowa’s 2020 2nd Congressional District race. That comparison does not demonstrate that any of the cases in the current tally altered an election.
The report also describes a separate New Jersey registration error involving about 6,600 people who had indicated they were not citizens but were registered through the state Motor Vehicle Commission. Fewer than 400 later voted, according to Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s administration. The state has not established that those votes changed an election outcome.
