DOJ Charges Five Over Illegal Voting In Three Battleground States
Thomas Holtzman, 68, faces 10 years for helping his noncitizen wife vote in 2024, ten times her own exposure.
- Katya Rodriguez, 30, a Mexican national in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, faces 11 years, the longest sentence sought.
- Mercedes Cardoso, an Ecuadorian on a B-2 tourist visa, voted in New Jersey's June 2024 primary.
- Jesus Javier Jurado Garcia, 25, a Mexican national in Beloit, Wisconsin, voted in the 2022 election.
Why it matters: A false citizenship claim from 2022 waited four years to become a federal charge.
