Chinese citizen charged after allegedly voting illegally in key battleground state; vote will be counted
A Chinese citizen, who attends the
University of Michigan, was charged for allegedly voting illegally in the key battleground state of Michigan – and that student's vote will still be counted.
A spokesperson for the Michigan Secretary of State confirmed to Fox News Digital that the Chinese citizen voted at a polling place at the University of Michigan Museum of Art on Sunday, Oct. 27.
The state's top authorities condemned the 19-year-old's actions, saying that since the man is not a U.S. citizen, he cannot vote
in federal elections.
"Only U.S. citizens can register and vote in our elections. It is illegal to lie on any registration forms or voting applications about one’s citizenship status. Doing so is a felony," Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit wrote in a joint statement.
Despite the fact that the Chinese citizen's ballot was cast illegally, it is expected to be counted in the upcoming election.
Andrew McCarthy, a Fox News contributor and a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, told Fox News Digital that it is expected to count because there is no way for election officials to retrieve it once it's been put through a tabulator.
"The thing is, because of the imperative of voter secrecy, the ballot does not have an identifying PIN number or other kind of identifying information that would enable somebody afterward to figure out who voted for whom," he said. "That's our dedication to
the secret ballot."
"But what it means is if the person passes the identification and qualification aspect of the early voting and gets to fill out the ballot, the ballot then goes into a tabulator, and it gets counted because there's no way to go back and retrieve it and say, 'this is the ballot that shouldn't have been voted.' And that's the problem here."
McCarthy said that the hope is that there is "enough election security that this will happen few enough times that it won't affect the integrity of the results."
"But the other important thing, and I don't think there's enough of this, is it's a violation of
both state law and federal law for an alien to attest that he is an American citizen for purposes of being allowed to register to vote," he said. "And then federally, at least, it's a crime for a non-American to vote, at least if it's done knowingly."
