Canadian citizen charged with illegally voting in multiple U.S. elections
Prosecutors say Sunny Manhertz, 40, voted in four federal elections after registering as a U.S. citizen despite being a lawful permanent resident.
- Sunny Manhertz, a Canadian resident of Saugus, Massachusetts, was charged in Boston with voting illegally in multiple federal elections after prosecutors alleged he cast ballots known to be fraudulent.
- Manhertz became a Lawful Permanent Resident in 1987, yet prosecutors state he registered to vote by checking "Yes" regarding citizenship, signing the form under penalty of perjury despite his alien status.
- Saugus records show Manhertz voted in federal elections including 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024, and he submitted an I-90 form to the Department of Homeland Security using his Alien Registration Number.
- If convicted, Manhertz faces between one and five years in prison and fines ranging from $100,000 to $250,000; he made his initial appearance in federal court in Boston and was released on conditions.
- The accused must follow all local, state, and federal laws as his legal proceedings continue, with his next court date scheduled for June 3.
