Voting Scandal Erupts as Four Noncitizens Face Federal Election Charges

Four noncitizens have been taken into custody and charged with unlawfully voting in federal elections, FBI Director Kash Patel announced.

Patel, a staunch ally of President Trump, announced the arrests on social media, detailing that the four individuals were non-citizens. He did not immediately disclose the detainees’ country of origin, but did say they lived in New Jersey.

Prosecutors later revealed that the defendants are David Neewilly, 73, of Atlantic County; Jacenth Beadle Exum, 70, of Bergen County; Idan Choresh, 43, of Monmouth County; and Abhinandan Vig, 33, of Monmouth County.

The four individuals are accused of falsely certifying their citizenship status on voter registration forms and registering to vote in New Jersey while not being U.S. citizens. Prosecutors also claim that they claimed on naturalization applications that they had never registered in federal elections.

“This administration will not tolerate aliens who attempt to vote in our elections when they know they are not eligible,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said in a statement. “As alleged, these green card holders lied in order to register to vote and then lied again to immigration authorities by falsely claiming never to have voted in a federal election.”
