跟进：司法部在北卡罗来纳州再起诉18名非公民涉2024年大选非法投票 全州今年累计30人被起诉

美国司法部10月29日宣布，北卡罗来纳州再有18名非公民因在2024年大选中非法投票被联邦大陪审团起诉，其中东区9人、中区5人、西区4人，含1名非法入境者；加上此前已起诉的12人，该州今年因非法投票被起诉者累计达30人。

本轮为本系列的最新进展。此前，北卡东区已于10月中旬公布10名非公民被起诉，另有2人于今年早些时候被起诉；本批东区新增9人后，东区累计21人。司法部表示，新增18人均被指在登记与投票时虚假声称自己是美国公民。

代理副总检察长 Trent McCotter 表示，非公民不能在联邦选举中投票，司法部已在北卡一州起诉30名非法登记并投票的人，目的是阻止非法投票、维护票箱的完整性。

北卡东区联邦检察官 Ellis Boyle 表示，投票权是其他一切权利与自由的源头，每一张非法选票都会抵消一张合法选票；中区联邦检察官 Dan Bishop 与西区联邦检察官 Russ Ferguson 也分别表态将追究违反选举法者。西区检察官指出，该州2025年市政选举中曾有14场以2票之差定胜负、15场仅差1票、7场打平，每一票都可能决定结果。

东区新增个案中，Gregory Eugene Wade 现年64岁，原籍 Bermuda，为合法永久居民，2000年登记投票，被指在2000年至2024年间的12届大选中投票；Elizabeth Margaret Crudup 现年52岁，原籍肯尼亚，被指在2008年至2024年间的9届大选及9次初选中投票。其余东区被告分别来自危地马拉、意大利、新加坡、牙买加、哥伦比亚、英国与希腊等地，多为合法永久居民。

中区5人分别来自荷兰、墨西哥、古巴、巴巴多斯与阿根廷；西区4人分别来自尼日利亚、多米尼加、法国与圣基茨和尼维斯。联邦调查局（FBI）Charlotte 外勤办公室与国土安全调查局（HSI）Carolinas 负责调查，三区联邦检察官办公室分别起诉。

按司法部公布的刑罚，虚假声称美国公民身份以投票最高可判5年监禁并处罚金25万美元，外籍人员投票最高可判1年监禁并处罚金10万美元；最终刑期由联邦地区法官参考量刑指南裁定。起诉书仅为指控，全部被告在被证明有罪之前推定无罪。

Follow-Up: DOJ Charges 18 More Noncitizens in North Carolina Over Illegal Voting in the 2024 Election, Bringing the Statewide Total to 30 This Year

The U.S. Department of Justice announced on October 29 that 18 more noncitizens in North Carolina have been indicted for illegally voting in the 2024 general election - nine in the Eastern District, five in the Middle District and four in the Western District - including one illegal alien. Together with 12 people previously indicted in the Eastern District, the statewide total indicted this year has reached 30.

The new indictments are the latest development in the series. The Eastern District had unveiled 10 indictments in mid-October, plus two from earlier in the year; with nine more added in this round, the Eastern District total is now 21. The department said all nine new Eastern District defendants allegedly falsely claimed to be U.S. citizens to register and vote in the 2024 general election.

Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter said noncitizens cannot vote in federal elections, and that the department has now charged 30 people in North Carolina alone who illegally registered and voted, in order to prevent illegal voting and preserve the integrity of the ballot box.

U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle for the Eastern District said the right to vote is the seed from which all other rights and liberties sprout, and that every unlawful ballot silences a lawful voter. U.S. Attorneys Dan Bishop for the Middle District and Russ Ferguson for the Western District also pledged to prosecute election-law violators. Ferguson noted that in North Carolina's 2025 municipal elections, 14 races were decided by two votes, 15 by one vote and seven were tied.

Among the new Eastern District cases, Gregory Eugene Wade, 64, a native of Bermuda and a lawful permanent resident, registered in 2000 and allegedly voted in 12 general elections from 2000 through 2024. Elizabeth Margaret Crudup, 52, a native of Kenya, allegedly voted in nine general elections from 2008 through 2024 and in nine primary elections. The other Eastern District defendants come from Guatemala, Italy, Singapore, Jamaica, Colombia, the United Kingdom and Greece, most of them lawful permanent residents.

The five Middle District defendants come from the Netherlands, Mexico, Cuba, Barbados and Argentina; the four Western District defendants come from Nigeria, the Dominican Republic, France and St. Kitts and Nevis. The FBI's Charlotte Field Office and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Carolinas are investigating, and the three U.S. Attorney's Offices are prosecuting in their respective districts.

Falsely claiming U.S. citizenship to vote carries a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, and voting by an alien carries a maximum of one year and a $100,000 fine, the department said; any sentence will be determined by a federal district judge under the Sentencing Guidelines. An indictment is merely an accusation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
