Michigan Charges 6 in 2024 Election Case as 22 More Suspected Noncitizen Votes Stay Under Review

Summary
Six people were charged in Michigan election cases tied to the 2024 vote, including five non-U.S. citizens accused of illegally registering or voting and one U.S. citizen accused of registering her non-citizen husband.
Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said the charges emerged from a review of 38 suspected non-citizen voting or related cases from 2009 to 2025; 10 were closed without charges and 22 remain under active review.
More than 5.7 million ballots were cast in Michigan in November 2024, and state officials said non-citizen voting remains extremely rare even as prosecutors pursued cases involving alleged false registrations, absentee ballot statements and forgery.
The cases land amid a broader Trump administration push for tighter election checks, including 2025 and 2026 executive orders on citizenship verification and Republican calls to pass proof-of-citizenship voting legislation.
