DOJ charges illegal voters in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Wisconsin

The cases allege illegal voting, false citizenship claims and fraudulent registrations in 2022 and 2024, with one defendant facing aiding-and-abetting charges.

  • The Justice Department charged five individuals in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and New Jersey on Friday with voting-related crimes, with Attorney General Todd Blanche calling election fraud a "serious crime."
  • Homeland Security claimed in July it identified 250,000 potential noncitizens on voter rolls across four states, though the Department has yet to release specific voter lists or details on how it identified them.
  • In Pennsylvania, prosecutors indicted Thomas Holtzman, his wife Marisol Guzman, and Katya Rodriguez for alleged 2024 election violations; Mercedes Alexandra Cardoso and Jesus Javier Jurado Garcia faced charges in New Jersey and Wisconsin respectively.
  • Gov. Mikie Sherrill claimed a "software error" registered about 6,600 noncitizens in New Jersey, though election officials maintain that noncitizen voting remains a rare occurrence despite these cases.
  • President Donald Trump's administration is seeking to crack down on noncitizen voter registrations, with officials stating that any noncitizens found voting will be held accountable.
