Massachusetts Charges Chinese National in 2024 Voter Fraud Case, Carrying 5-Year Counts

Summary
Federal prosecutors charged 33-year-old Yupeng Sun of Andover with fraudulent voter registration and fraudulent voting after alleging he used another Chinese national’s identity to register and cast a 2024 presidential ballot in Massachusetts.
Investigators say Sun admitted in a July interview that he registered the victim and voted under his name; voter records show the Oct. 31, 2024 early ballot submitted at Malden City Hall was accepted.
The complaint says Sun then sent anonymous tips to Homeland Security Investigations and USCIS accusing the victim of illegal voting, after previously filing immigration documents that falsely sought to make the victim and his wife abandon green-card status.
That immigration scheme led to the couple’s green cards being confiscated and removal proceedings in June 2024, before an immigration judge restored their legal permanent resident status in January 2026 using forensic evidence.
Each charge carries up to 5 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and prosecutors said Sun—whose B-2 visa expired in 2021 and who now has deferred action tied to a U-visa application—could also be deported.
