US EditionIraqi man charged with illegally voting in the 2020 election in New York
- Akeel Abdul Jamiel, a 45-year-old Iraqi residing in South Glens Falls, New York, has been accused of casting a fraudulent ballot in the 2020 presidential election in Saratoga County.
- Public records show that Jamiel enrolled in the Conservative Party of New York just one month prior to the election and cast a ballot despite knowingly not being a U.S. Citizen, an act prohibited by federal law.
- In 2019, he filed a lawsuit against the mayor of New York City, asserting that his rights had been infringed and criticizing the city's lenient approach to illegal immigration, and he also sent letters to the White House claiming that the nation was facing an invasion.
- The DOJ and FBI stated that election security remains a top national priority, and United States Attorney Sarcone described Jamiel's illegal voting as a "callous and illegal act" punishable by up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.
- The investigation benefited from assistance by the Department of Government Efficiency, an agency established by Trump to reduce government fraud, though its specific role was not detailed by prosecutors.
