"We continue to see that. Every single vote, Kayleigh, that we talk about, that was at the hands of an illegal canceled out a citizen that was legally registered and able to vote," Mullin added.
Also this weekend, DOJ announced it had charged 16 people across seven states as part of an investigation into illegal voting, fraudulent voter registration, and additional election-related offenses. In one example, the DOJ alleged that a Venezuelan national and DACA recipient voted nine times in elections between 2008 and 2024. In another example, a Mexican national falsely claimed to be a U.S. citizen in Idaho and voted.
Last week, Gladys Okafor, 56, a Nigerian national living in Massachusetts, was charged with illegally voting in the 2022 midterm elections and the 2024 presidential election. If convicted, she faces up to one year in prison, one year of supervised release, a fine of up to $100,000, and possible deportation.
Earlier this month, three people were charged with paying homeless people in Los Angeles to sign petitions using the stolen identities of registered voters. The petitions were being used to qualify initiatives on ballots in California elections. James Brass, 46, was arrested in connection to the fraudulent signatures, along with Courtney Price, 49, and Jateisha Herron, 33. They are all charged with one count of conspiracy to commit identity fraud in furtherance of a state felony. Brass and Price were also charged with one count of identity fraud in furtherance of a state felony.
"The charged conduct undermines the confidence voters have in our election systems. We will vigorously investigate and charge anyone involved in corrupting our elections," first assistant U.S. attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said.
The indictment followed an undercover investigation from independent journalist James O’Keefe, which filmed people admitting to the crimes.
Dhillon told Just the News on Monday night there is more activity brewing in that Los Angeles case.
"We got the guilty plea of the woman who was paying people off, and you know we have now expanded that to indictments for identity theft with other individuals who were associated with that effort," she said. "So three people were I believe indicted for that just earlier this month as well, and so we are expanding these efforts.
"And every single time I see an incredible example of voter fraud or illegal voting or anything related to voting that I believe we have jurisdiction over, I pick up the phone, I call the U.S. attorney, and I flag it for people internally. Just a constant stream of ideas being pushed down to the states to look at," she added.
A man in Beloit, Wisconsin, was charged earlier this month with illegally voting in Wisconsin’s 2022 midterm election. Jesus Javier Jurado Garcia, 25, was charged with the crime, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. The outlet also noted that another noncitizen had been caught voting in two separate elections prior to Garcia’s arrest.
A Census Bureau brief published in August said that more than 24,000 noncitizens had voted in the 2020 general election, with California showing the highest number. The state reportedly saw 4,300 noncitizens cast votes in that election, the analysis found, followed by Texas with 2,500. The brief also noted that it could only say it had “high confidence” that 128 million out of 160 million votes cast in the 2020 election were cast be U.S. citizens, leaving 32 million to still be analyzed.
The list goes on, as Just the News reported in July. In the past year, a Kansas mayor born in Mexico, a Filipino senior citizen living in Hawaii, two Pakistani men living in New Jersey, an Australian in Louisiana, and a Chinese student studying at the University of Michigan were also all charged with illegally voting in U.S. elections. At that time, all 50 states were sent notices that the DOJ will prosecute any election officials who allow noncitizens to vote.
Following those notices being sent, the DOJ subpoenaed Nevada’s Democrat election chief seeking voter information. Nevada’s Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar said earlier this month that the state had removed a net of 50,130 people from the voter rolls.
The Department of Homeland Security had previously said it identified potentially 16,000 foreigners on the state’s voter rolls, leading to the DOJ subpoena.
