Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has announced charges against five non-U.S. citizens who allegedly voted in the 2024 presidential election.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has charged six people in connection with alleged voter fraud from the state’s November 2024 general election. Five of those charged are non-citizens accused of casting ballots despite being ineligible to vote.
The sixth is a U.S. citizen accused of registering a non-citizen spouse to vote.
The cases stem from referrals by the Michigan Secretary of State and form part of a broader review of dozens of suspected non-citizen voting incidents spanning multiple election cycles. Of the cases examined, a small number resulted in formal charges while others were closed or remain under investigation. Associated voter registrations for the identified individuals have been cancelled.
The charges include a mix of misdemeanors and felonies such as false statements on ballot applications, election forgery, fraudulent registration, and attempts by unqualified electors to vote.
Nessel’s office stated that it investigates all credible claims of non-citizen voting and pursues accountability where evidence supports criminal action, describing such incidents as rare.
