一名印度国民在明尼苏达州被大陪审团以联邦罪名起诉，罪名是明知故犯地虚假声称自己是美国公民，以便在2024年大选中投票，此举在网上引发了反弹，一位接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访的专家也对此提出批评。
根据美国司法部本月早些时候的一份新闻稿，穆克什库马尔·索马拜·乔杜里签署了明尼苏达州法律要求的选民签名证书，虚假声称拥有美国公民身份，并于2024年11月5日参与了投票。
“投票权是美国公民的神圣特权，每一位合法选民都理应拥有一个能保护其投票权的选举制度，”司法部民权司助理部长哈米特·K·迪隆在新闻稿中表示。

“司法部将追究那些明知故犯地虚假声称公民身份以参与投票的人的责任。我们选举的完整性取决于确保只有符合资格的公民才能投票，且每一张合法选票都能被统计。”
迪隆周二在X平台上发帖补充称，司法部已“起诉或定罪了67名与选举相关犯罪的个人”。
今年早些时候，福克斯新闻数字频道曾报道，39岁的乔杜里当时正面临州级伪证和投票违规指控，他最初接受当局询问时否认自己投过票，但后来又称自己“犯了个错误”，并承认自己投了票，同时还告诉调查人员自己并非美国公民。
调查人员称，乔杜里收到了明尼苏达州寄来的选民登记通知，这一情况很可能是他获得驾照后在系统中触发的。据称乔杜里告诉当局，直到他的律师在办理绿卡过程中告知他，他才意识到自己本不应投票。
“美国司法部再次证明，只要你去寻找选举欺诈，就能找到选举欺诈，”诚实选举项目副主席查德·恩尼斯周二对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。“左派总喜欢声称选举欺诈从未发生。但这里又出现了一起非公民非法登记投票的案例。”
联邦起诉的消息也在社交媒体上传播开来，一些用户指出，近年来众多民主党当选官员都淡化了选民欺诈的存在。
“那件所谓‘从未发生过’的事，”美国实验中心的比尔·格恩在X平台上发帖称。

“蒂姆·瓦尔兹的明尼苏达州就是欺诈温床！”政治评论员埃里克·多达在X平台上发帖称。
格恩此前曾接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访，表达了他对明尼苏达州投票系统缺乏保障措施的担忧，包括登记选民可以为多达8名希望在无需身份证的情况下进行同日选民登记的选民担保其居住资格。
“只有美国公民才有资格在明尼苏达州投票，”明尼苏达州州务卿办公室今年早些时候对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，并补充称不符合资格的投票“极其罕见”。

“当个人完成选民登记申请时，他们会声明自己符合所有资格要求，包括自己是美国公民，”该办公室表示。“在投票前，选民必须再次宣誓自己符合资格，才能获准投票。
“如果非公民试图在选举中投票，他们会被发现并被追究责任。不符合资格投票的处罚可能包括驱逐出境、永久丧失未来申请公民身份的资格、最高1万美元罚款，以及最高5年监禁。”
如果被定罪，乔杜里面临的两项指控每项最高可判处5年监禁。

Federal indictment handed down in Minnesota related to issue some Dems claim never happens: ‘Hotbed for fraud’

Mukeshkumar Chaudhari allegedly admitted to voting while telling investigators he is not a US citizen

Federal prosecutors charged a Honduran national with voter fraud in California after he allegedly registered to vote under an alias and cast ballots in multiple elections. Fox News’ Matt Finn reports on the federal indictment details, revealing the suspect received a voter registration card using a gym membership. The case highlights ongoing debates surrounding voter identification laws.

An Indian national was federally indicted by a grand jury in Minnesota for knowingly making the false claim to be a U.S. citizen to vote in the 2024 general election, prompting pushback online and from an expert who spoke to Fox News Digital.
Mukeshkumar Somabhai Chaudhari, according to a DOJ press release earlier this month, falsely claimed U.S. citizenship by signing a voter signature certificate required under state law to vote in Minnesota and voting Nov. 5, 2024.
“The right to vote is a sacred privilege of American citizenship, and every lawful voter deserves an election system in which that right is protected,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in the press release.

“The Department will hold accountable those who knowingly make false claims of citizenship in order to vote. The integrity of our elections depends on ensuring that only eligible citizens cast ballots and that every lawful vote is counted.”
Dhillon added in a post on X Tuesday that the Justice Department has “indicted or convicted 67 individuals for election related crimes.”
Earlier this year, Fox News Digital reported that Chaudhari, 39, was facing state perjury and voting violation charges and that he denied he voted when first questioned by authorities but later claimed he “made a mistake” and admitted to voting while also telling investigators he is not a U.S. citizen.

Chaudhari, according to investigators, received a voter registration notice from the state of Minnesota in a move that was likely triggered in the system after he obtained his driver’s license. Chaudhari is said to have told authorities that he didn’t learn he should not have voted until his lawyer informed him during his green card process.
“Once again, DOJ is proving that if you look for election fraud, you find election fraud,” Chad Ennis, vice president of Honest Elections Project, told Fox News Digital Tuesday. “The left loves to claim election fraud does not happen. But here we have yet another instance of a noncitizen illegally registering to vote.”
News of the federal indictment spread across social media as well, with some users pointing out that numerous elected Democrats in recent years have downplayed the existence of voter fraud.
“That thing that never happens,” Center for the American Experiment’s Bill Glahn posted on X.

“Tim Walz’s Minnesota is a hotbed for fraud!” political commentator Eric Daugherty posted on X.
Glahn previously spoke to Fox News Digital about his concerns over the lack of safeguards in Minnesota’s voting system, including registered voters being able to “vouch” for up to eight other voters’ residency who want to sign up for same-day voter registration without an ID.
“Only U.S. Citizens are eligible to vote in Minnesota,” the Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State told Fox News Digital earlier this year, adding that ineligible voting is “extremely rare.”

“When an individual completes a voter registration application, they attest that they meet all eligibility requirements, including that they are a U.S. citizen,” the office said. “Before casting a ballot, one must again swear to their eligibility before they are allowed to vote.
“If a noncitizen attempts to vote in an election, they will be caught and held to account. Penalties for voting while ineligible may include deportation, a permanent bar on future citizenship, a fine of up to $10,000, and up to five years in prison.”
If convicted, Chaudhari faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison on each of the two counts he faces.
