- California federal courts handled the largest share with 28 individuals charged across four judicial districts; defendants face potential prison sentences, monetary fines, and immigration consequences including possible deportation or denial of citizenship.
- Prosecutors allege defendants knowingly voted despite noncitizen status, yet the nonpartisan Brennan Center estimates suspected noncitizen voting at just 0.0001% of ballots cast, underscoring debate over incidence rates.
- Federal law restricts voting in federal elections to U.S. citizens under 18 U.S. Code Section 611; false citizenship claims carry statutory penalties up to five years in prison, emphasizing the severity of these federal offenses.
