Feds accuse 10 foreigners of illegal voting, registration fraud in Minnesota

Ten people. That’s how many the Justice Department says sneaked into Minnesota’s voter rolls and cast ballots in American elections. They came from Brazil, Ghana and Liberia, and they allegedly claimed U.S. citizenship to vote in 2022, 2024 and this year’s primaries. It took a federal investigation to catch them, which makes you wonder how many others got away with it.

The left has spent years telling us voter fraud is a myth. Tell that to the ten foreign nationals who apparently had no trouble registering in Minnesota. Attorney General Todd Blanche said this kind of fraud erodes trust in elections. He’s right. Every illegal vote cancels out a legitimate one. That’s not a theory. That’s a charge in a federal indictment.

This isn’t about hating immigrants. It’s about a basic rule: only citizens vote. Minnesota makes it easy to register on the same day, and its election officials don’t seem eager to check citizenship status. The system has a hole, and the feds just found it. State officials might want to start acting like it matters before the next election.

We’ll see what happens in court. But the simple fact is that ten foreigners cast ballots in our elections, and nobody in Minnesota stopped them. That’s not a conspiracy theory. It’s a news story.
