The U.S. Department of Justice announced charges against 12 individuals on Monday for election crimes across the nation. This sweep includes three illegal aliens and a former postal carrier who allegedly dumped 300 mail-in ballots. The cases span from Florida to Hawaii, hitting states like Pennsylvania and Utah hard. Breitbart reported the Justice Department announced these charges for alleged illegal voting in a nationwide bust.
One specific case in the Middle District of Florida involves a 75-year-old Canadian named Christiane Vinette Young. She was in the country illegally when she cast ballots in the 2022 and 2024 general elections plus the 2022 primary. RedState noted that the operation covers illegal voting and fraudulent voter registration in multiple states.
A federal election and false citizenship claims led to charges against two noncitizens in New Jersey for illegal voting. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services confirmed these details. Patrick Terrence Reid, a Jamaican national, and Danubis Bernat, a Venezuelan national, allegedly lied about their status to vote.
Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office. These individuals…

These two men “were each charged by separate complaints with voting by an alien in a federal election and making false statements while applying for U.S. citizenship,” the USCIS said. Reid allegedly voted in person for the 2012 and 2016 presidential elections. He also voted by mail in 2020 and 2024. Bernat allegedly voted in person during the 2024 election.
Both men claimed on their citizenship applications that they never voted or registered for any federal elections. This is a direct lie to the government. According to allegations, they registered via the Department of Motor Vehicles. The system failed to catch them until now.
RedState noted these arrests show illegal aliens interfering with and even voting in U.S. elections. The scale is bigger than just these few names. The Department of Justice announced charges against 10 migrants for these alleged crimes in a nationwide bust.
New Jersey Democrat Gov. Mikie Sherrill claims the illegal registrations were the result of a “software error.” She said this error caused roughly 6,600 people to register between June 2023 and June 2024 as non-U.S. citizens. The arrests come just weeks after this revelation. The Federalist reported that Sherrill blamed the glitch for the surge in noncitizen registrations.
Some officials claim the system was not “cross-checked effectively for improper registrations.” This failure allowed thousands of ineligible voters to slip through. The Governor insists it was a mistake, but the charges show intent. People lied on forms and voted anyway.
