PANAMA CITY, Fla. (WMBB) – A Jamaican citizen was charged with unlawfully making a false claim of citizenship to register to vote in the 2024 Florida Presidential Primary Election.
According to a criminal complaint, 52-year-old Jacqueline Dianne Wallace entered the United States in December 2010 on a six-month B2 tourism visa. However, did not return to Jamaica as required.
In January 2024, Wallace registered to vote in federal elections using an online system that required certification of United States citizenship, which Wallace reportedly did not have.
