两名加拿大籍爱达荷居民被控2022年大选非法投票
美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）10月22日宣布，该局协助调查的一起案件中，两名居住在爱达荷州东部的加拿大籍居民被控在2022年大选中非法投票，案件由爱达荷联邦地区检察官办公室提起。
根据法庭记录，48岁的塔拉琳·凯瑟琳·博斯科（Taralynn Kathleen Bosco，住雷克斯堡）被控在不具备美国公民身份的情况下参加了2022年大选投票；82岁的斯坦利·理查德·沃尔顿（Stanley Richard Walton，住丘巴克）在另案中被控同样罪名。两案分别在联邦法院审理，官方公告未称两人存在串谋。USCIS 在公告中强调，指控仅为指控，在法庭上被排除合理怀疑地定罪之前，所有被告均推定无罪。若非法投票罪名成立，两人每人最高可面临10万美元罚款及一年监禁。联邦法律一般禁止非公民在包含联邦公职的选举中投票。此案调查由 USCIS 协助完成。
Two Canadian Residents of Idaho Charged With Illegal Voting in the 2022 General Election
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on October 22 that, in a case the agency helped investigate, two Canadian residents of eastern Idaho have been charged with voting illegally in the 2022 general election, in cases brought by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Idaho.
According to court records, Taralynn Kathleen Bosco, 48, of Rexburg, is charged with participating in the 2022 general election without U.S. citizenship; Stanley Richard Walton, 82, of Chubbuck, is charged with the same offense in a separate case. The two cases are being tried separately in federal court, and the official announcement does not allege that the two conspired. USCIS emphasized in its announcement that an indictment is merely an allegation and that all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in court. If convicted of illegal voting, each faces a maximum penalty of a $100,000 fine and one year in prison. Federal law generally prohibits noncitizens from voting in elections that include federal offices. The investigation was conducted with USCIS assistance.
