Minnesota Illegal faces a felony for illegally voting

Noncitizen in Minnesota faces felony charges after voting in 2024 election and calling it a 'mistake'

A 39-year-old man in Minnesota was charged Monday with perjury and a voting violation after authorities said records showed he registered to vote in 2023 and then submitted a ballot in the 2024 election, despite not being a United States citizen.

Mukeshkumar Somabhai Chaudhari initially denied voting when investigators confronted him, Fox News Digital reported, but later admitted to casting a ballot and told them he "made a mistake."

The case lands in the middle of a national argument over how well states guard their voter rolls against illegal participation. Minnesota officials insist their system works. Critics say the state's own policies made this kind of breach predictable.

Chaudhari faces serious consequences. The Office of the Minnesota Secretary of State told Fox News Digital that penalties for voting while ineligible may include deportation, a permanent bar on future citizenship, a fine of up to $10,000, and up to five years in prison.

For a man reportedly in the middle of a green card process, the felony charges could end more than just a legal case, they could end his ability to remain in the country.
