据向福克斯新闻数字频道提供的数据显示，在过去约五周时间里，司法部已在17个州起诉64名外国公民，指控其非法投票、欺诈性选民登记及与选举相关的犯罪，联邦检察官正加强选举诚信执法力度。
明尼苏达州以11名被告位居全国之首，其次是宾夕法尼亚州10名、德克萨斯州9名。路易斯安那州有5名，新泽西州、加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州各有4名，根据司法部最新统计数据。
此次全国范围的打击行动正值联邦官员在11月中期选举前加强选民登记保障审查之际，近期选举凸显出即使几张非法选票也可能超过候选人之间的差距。福克斯新闻数字频道绘制了被告集中度最高的州地图，司法部表示，自2025年特朗普就职以来，已起诉104人涉及投票欺诈相关犯罪。

“每一张非法选票都会抵消一名合法美国公民的选票。2020年，爱荷华州第二国会选区的选举仅以6票之差决出胜负，”司法部发言人告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他指的是共和党议员玛丽安妮特·米勒-梅克斯以微弱优势击败民主党人丽塔·哈特。
司法部表示，联邦检察官每周提起的选举欺诈案件数量是爱荷华州那场选举6票差距的两倍多。

发言人补充道：“非公民和其他无资格选民投票是联邦犯罪，无论案件涉及一张还是数百张非法选票，司法部都将执法。”
这些案件涉及的指控范围从欺诈性登记申请到在多次选举中投票。
司法部还在部分案件中争取到有罪答辩，包括宾夕法尼亚州埃马斯的菲律宾国民伊芙琳·米勒。
米勒已承认在2024年总统选举中非法投票，面临最高一年监禁和10万美元罚款。

“我们将起诉任何通过非法投票破坏我们民主的人，”宾夕法尼亚州东区美国检察官大卫·梅特卡夫说道。
同样在宾夕法尼亚州，联邦检察官指控海地国民克利夫·萨农在费城县提交欺诈性选民登记申请。检察官称他提交了8份登记申请，并在2022年11月的选举中投票。
布兰奇宣布起诉10名被控明尼苏达州选举欺诈的永久居民
在明尼苏达州，加纳绿卡持有者约书亚·科菲·埃齐被指控在该州2026年8月的初选中非法投票，并在选民登记时谎称自己是美国公民。
此次起诉也波及共和党领导的州，包括德克萨斯州、路易斯安那州和佛罗里达州，在向福克斯新闻数字频道提供的司法部数据中，这三个州共有18名被告。
在路易斯安那州，联邦政府起诉一名前市长候选人犯有外国人投票罪。布里奇特·约翰逊曾于2024年竞选路易斯安那州卡顿谷镇长，她 allegedly以牙买加国民迈克尔·韦德本的名义提交登记申请，并 falsely宣誓自己是公民。韦德本随后 allegedly在2024年总统和市长选举中非法投票。他最近也被起诉。
在新泽西州，共和党人指出了多场势均力敌的选举，同时另有一起争议事件：约6600人表明自己不是公民，但却通过该州机动车管理局错误完成了选民登记。根据州长米基·谢里尔的政府数据，其中仅有不到400人随后进行了投票。
前恩格尔伍德克利夫斯市长马里奥·克兰亚克近日指出，2023年考德威尔、大西洋高地和博戈塔的市政选举差距仅为4至6票。

该州尚未证实任何受影响选民的投票改变了选举结果。谢里尔的发言人肖恩·希金斯此前表示，州长“以透明和负责任的态度纠正了2023年的这一错误”。

The Justice Department has charged 64 foreign nationals across 17 states with unlawful voting, fraudulent voter registration and election-related offenses in roughly the last five weeks, according to figures provided to Fox News Digital, as federal prosecutors intensify election-integrity enforcement.
Minnesota leads the nation with 11 defendants, followed by Pennsylvania with 10 and Texas with nine. Louisiana accounts for five, while New Jersey, California and Florida each have four, according to the department’s latest tally.
The nationwide crackdown comes as federal officials intensify scrutiny of voter-registration safeguards ahead of November’s midterms, with recent elections underscoring how even a few illegal ballots can exceed the margin separating candidates. Fox News Digital mapped the states with the largest concentrations of defendants as DOJ says it has charged 104 people with voting fraud-related offenses since Trump returned to office in 2025.

“Every illegal vote cancels out the vote of a lawful American citizen. In 2020, Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District race was decided by six votes,” a DOJ spokesperson told Fox News Digital, referring to Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks’ narrow victory over Democrat Rita Hart.
DOJ said federal prosecutors are bringing more than twice as many election-fraud cases each week as the six-vote margin in the Iowa race.

The spokesperson added: “Voting by noncitizens and other ineligible voters is a federal crime, and the department will enforce the law whether a case involves one illegal ballot or hundreds.”
The cases involve allegations ranging from fraudulent registration applications to ballots cast in multiple elections.
The department is also securing guilty pleas in some cases, including against Filipino national Evelyn Miller of Emmaus, Pennsylvania.
Miller pleaded guilty to illegally voting in the 2024 presidential election and faces up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine.

“We intend to prosecute anyone who corrupts our democracy by illegally voting in its elections,” U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania David Metcalf said.
Also in Pennsylvania, federal prosecutors charged Haitian national Cliff Sanon with submitting a fraudulent voter registration application in Philadelphia County. Prosecutors allege he submitted eight registration applications and voted in the November 2022 election.
BLANCHE ANNOUNCES CHARGES AGAINST 10 PERMANENT RESIDENTS ACCUSED OF MINNESOTA VOTER FRAUD
In Minnesota, Ghanaian green card holder Joshua Kofi Edzie was charged with illegally voting in the state’s August 2026 primary and falsely claiming U.S. citizenship in connection with voter registration.
The prosecutions have also reached Republican-led states, including Texas, Louisiana and Florida, which account for 18 defendants combined in the DOJ figures provided to Fox News Digital.
In Louisiana, the feds indicted an ex-mayoral candidate on a charge of voting by an alien. Bridget Johnson, who ran in 2024 to lead Cotton Valley, Louisiana, allegedly submitted a registration in the name of Jamaican national Michael Wedderburn and falsely swore he was a citizen. Wedderburn then allegedly voted illegally in 2024 for president and mayor. He was also recently indicted.
In New Jersey, Republicans have pointed to several razor-thin elections amid a separate controversy involving approximately 6,600 people who indicated they were not citizens but were erroneously registered through the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission. Fewer than 400 subsequently voted, according to Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s administration.
Former Englewood Cliffs Mayor Mario Kranjac recently highlighted municipal elections in Caldwell, Atlantic Highlands and Bogota decided by margins of four to six votes in 2023.

The state has not established that any of the affected voters changed an election outcome. Sherrill spokesman Sean Higgins previously said the governor “moved with transparency and accountability to remediate this error from 2023.”

The prosecutions come as federal officials continue scrutinizing voter-registration safeguards ahead of November’s midterm elections. Authorities have not established that any of the cases identified in DOJ’s nationwide tally changed the outcome of an election.
