Man Indicted After 20 Years of Voting Illegally in NC

The thing Democrats and left-wing activists (repetitive) say never happens, has happenedagain.

A federal grand jury has returned an indictment against a Canadian citizen for voting illegally in North Carolina for the past 20 years.

From the article in Breitbart:

According to the indictment cited by the U.S. Attorney's Office, Eastern District of North Carolina, Denis Bouchard, 69, a resident in the Wilmington area, falsely claimed to be a United States citizen eligible to vote in federal elections.

The 2022 and 2024 elections in the federal indictment were allegedly the most recent violations in a long string of illegal voting by Bouchard in Hanover and Pender County elections for the past 20 years, prosecutors said.

"Every single time a noncitizen casts an illegal vote in North Carolina, it steals and nullifies the vote of an actual citizen," said U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle in a statementreleased by his office for the Eastern District of North Carolina. "If the records are correct, this Canadian citizen appears to have voted in New Hanover and Pender County elections over the past 20 years. We intend to prove his illegal conduct in court and put an end to it."

James C. Barnacle Jr., the FBI Special Agent in Charge in North Carolina, added, "Every American deserves to exercise their right to vote without interference in the democratic process. We appreciate the North Carolina Board of Elections partnership and commitment to working together to ensure fair elections in our state."

"This is why Republicans take election integrity seriously. These cases show everyone in elections administration and the political should be vigilant against illegal voting and fraud," said NCGOP Communications Director Matt Mercer.
