from The National Pulse:
Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird (R) has filed voter fraud charges against Jorge Oscar Sanchez-Vasquez, a noncitizen residing legally in the United States. He faces two counts of election misconduct stemming from his alleged actions on July 16, 2024, during a special election for the Marshalltown City Council. According to Bird’s office, the charges include registering to vote and casting a ballot on the same day.
Concerns regarding the illegal participation of noncitizens in U.S. elections have been increasing over the past year as more incidents of criminal acts have been uncovered. The National Pulse reported in July that survey data shows a statistically significant number of noncitizens have illegally voted in American elections. Additionally, a recent investigation in the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico found approximately 900,000 ineligible voters were listed on its voter rolls—though in this instance, the individuals were predominantly deceased.
