A federal grand jury in the District of Minnesota passed down a two-count indictment against an Indian national who allegedly made false claims of U.S. citizenship in order to vote in the 2024 general election. Mukeshkumar Somabhai Chaudhari is accused of signing the voter signature certificate required by Minnesota law, which requires him to affirm he’s a citizen, according to the indictment.
“The right to vote is a sacred privilege of American citizenship, and every lawful voter deserves an election system in which that right is protected,” Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division said in a statement.
If convicted, Chaudhari faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison on each count.
