Michigan Charges Five Noncitizens Over Alleged Illegal Voting in 2024 Election

Officials said 16 non-citizen voting cases were referred for review, and 22 more remain open as prosecutors pursue felony and misdemeanor election charges.

  • On Thursday, Aug. 13, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced criminal charges against five non-citizens and one U.S. citizen for illegal voting or registration activities linked to the 2024 election.
  • Nessel's office investigated 38 suspected cases of non-citizen voting or "adjacent conduct in elections spanning from 2009 to 2025," following referrals from Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.
  • Among those charged, Robert Piva allegedly claimed his vote was an "experiment concerning voter fraud," while Kimberly DiDonato, a U.S. citizen, allegedly registered her non-citizen husband to test the system.
  • Nessel emphasized her office is "upholding election integrity" while noting 10 cases were closed without charges and 22 remain under active review.
  • These actions follow a push by Republican President Donald Trump's administration to scrutinize voter rolls and implement new proof-of-citizenship standards for voters across the country.
