DOJ Charges 63 People in Election-Related Cases Ahead of Midterm Elections

Attorney General Todd Blanche said the cases mark the largest surge of voter-fraud arrests since President Donald Trump returned to office.

  • On Monday, the U.S. Department of Justice charged 63 individuals across 15 states with illegal voting and registration crimes. Attorney General Todd Blanche called it the "largest surge of voter-fraud arrests since President Trump returned to office."
  • Federal authorities have charged 195 people in 25 states with illegal voting violations over the past nine weeks, lifting the total number of individuals charged with election fraud-related crimes under the current administration to 239.
  • While the roster includes four undocumented immigrants, the vast majority are green card holders who allegedly signed forms swearing they were American citizens; court filings reveal cases where illegal voting was not a one-off mistake but a decades-long habit.
  • Some defendants reported that confusion and language barriers led them to believe they were eligible to vote; auditors in Utah have repeatedly concluded they "did not observe significant fraud" in recent elections.
  • This year, the Department of Justice is deploying 1,000 election monitors to all 50 states in an unprecedented move. The administration continues pursuing legal challenges to obtain unredacted voter registration databases from states nationwide.
