Chinese Citizen Charged After Allegedly Voting Illegally in Key State — But Vote Will Still Count

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. (Read more from “Chinese Citizen Charged After Allegedly Voting Illegally in Key State — But Vote Will Still Count” HERE)
