WASHINGTON, D.C. (WBAY) - The U.S. Department of Justice announced charges against 16 foreigners for election crimes, including a North Macedonia national living in Wisconsin.
Most of the 16 are accused of fraudulent voter registration and illegal voting, including false claims of U.S. citizenship and false statements on citizenship applications.
Sara Luma, 30, of North Macedonia, is charged in the Eastern District of Wisconsin with Unlawfully Voting as a Non-Citizen. She was a lawful permanent resident but was not a U.S. citizen when the DOJ says she voted in the Nov. 5, 2024 general election. The criminal complaint says Luma registered to vote on election day and falsely certified she was a citizen of the United States on the Wisconsin Voter Registration application.
Ten foreigners are charged in federal court in Minnesota with voter fraud. All ten are lawful permanent residents, ranging in age from 43 to 78. They’re from Bosnia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Ghana, Liberia, Lithuania and South Africa.
