The Department of Justice (DOJ) said on Nov. 2 that it had charged 63 people across the United States with illegal voting, fraudulent voter registration, and other election-related crimes ahead of the midterms.

Four of the individuals were identified as illegal immigrants, according to a DOJ statement.

The department said the defendants were accused of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to register to vote and filing fraudulent voter registration applications in other states.

Attorney General Todd Blanche said this was “the largest surge of voter-fraud arrests” since President Donald Trump’s return to office last year.

At least 195 aliens across 25 states have been charged with illegal voting and registration offenses over the past nine weeks, according to the department.

A total of 239 individuals have been charged with voting-related offenses since Trump’s second term began, it added.

“These foreign nationals allegedly took advantage of the trust of the American people and flouted the laws that govern our nation’s elections. This Department of Justice will continue investigating and prosecuting voter fraud to restore confidence in our electoral system,” Blanche said.

The latest indictments involved individuals in Arkansas, California, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wisconsin.

One of the defendants, Elizabeth Margaret Crudup, a 52-year-old Kenyan national and lawful permanent resident, was charged with falsely claiming citizenship and illegally voting. Crudup allegedly registered to vote in 2008 and cast ballots in nine general elections between 2008 and 2024, according to the DOJ.
