Michigan prosecutors charged a Chinese citizen with voter fraud and perjury after he allegedly cast a ballot in the 2024 election, authorities announced Wednesday.

Sources familiar with the matter told CNN that the 19-year-old Chinese man who allegedly voted is a student who lives in Ann Arbor, home to the University of Michigan. Authorities said the man isn’t a US citizen, and therefore can’t vote in federal elections.

The announcement from Michigan’s secretary of state and attorney general, and local prosecutors in Ann Arbor, comes as former President Donald Trump and his Republican allies spread concerns about mass voting by non-citizens. Experts say illegal voting by non-citizens is extremely rare, and when it does happen, it is usually caught quickly. ...

This results in 164,568 excess ballots as of 10/29/2024. Below is one Voter ID.

So this person went to vote 29 times? Or requested 29 different mail in ballots? Michigan doesn’t auto mail ballots. So it would have to be a lot of work to make this happen. Btw I discovered I was (active) registered to vote in MI and haven’t lived there for 15 years!!!

Any clues?

Chinese citizen charged after allegedly voting illegally in key battleground state; vote will be counted
Story by Sarah Rumpf-Whitten • 10h


A Chinese citizen, who attends the University of Michigan, was charged for allegedly voting illegally in the key battleground state of Michigan – and that student's vote will still be counted.

A spokesperson for the Michigan Secretary of State confirmed to Fox News Digital that the Chinese citizen voted at a polling place at the University of Michigan Museum of Art on Sunday, Oct. 27.
 
The state's top authorities condemned the 19-year-old's actions, saying that since the man is not a U.S. citizen, he cannot vote in federal elections.

"Only U.S. citizens can register and vote in our elections. It is illegal to lie on any registration forms or voting applications about one’s citizenship status. Doing so is a felony," Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit wrote in a joint statement.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.
