Chinese student arrested in Michigan for attempting to vote in 2024 US presidential election

A Chinese student at the University of Michigan was arrested Wednesday after becoming embroiled in the Republican campaign in recent months in which he alleged widespread voter fraud by illegal immigrants.

The Michigan Department of State said the unnamed 19-year-old student voted US presidential election on Sunday in Ann Arbor and was subsequently charged with “attempting to vote as an ineligible voter” and “perjury” for making a false statement to secure registration.

“Only U.S. citizens can register and vote in our elections,” the state office said, noting that voting by non-citizens is extremely isolated and rare.

“It is illegal to lie about one’s citizenship status on registration forms or voting applications,” it added. “This is a criminal offense.”

Moolenaar is running for re-election in the battleground state, widely seen as one of several in the country that will determine who wins the tight presidential race.
