Non-citizen says he voted in '22 election in Toms River

[RandySF]

An Ocean County man who is not a U.S. citizen admitted in federal court to illegally voting in the 2022 midterm election, U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer announced.

Eliezer Kadoch, 39, of Toms River, pleaded guilty Wednesday before U.S. Magistrate Judge J. Brandon Day in Trenton to one count of voting by an alien in a federal election.

Court records show that Kadoch is a citizen of France and has never been a citizen of the United States. Despite being ineligible to vote, prosecutors said he cast a ballot in the November 2022 general election, which included the election of a U.S. House representative.

Federal law prohibits non-citizens from voting in federal elections.

1. does new jersey permit non citizen voting in state/local elections?

i have heard that some states do, but that may be more maga bullshit.

(non citizens are allowed to vote in some local elections in 3 states. new jersey not one.)

2. No

3. Where are the millions of non-citizens who are voting, according to Trump?

Non-citizens would find it very difficult to register to vote.

4. And the few are eventually caught.

The system works.

5. His vote was still counted

6. Maybe if they clamp down on non citizen voting...

The Republican vote count will decrease.

7. I'm a NJ poll worker.

One way he could have had his vote counted is this way:

Eliezer Kadoch showed up at a local polling place. The computer registration didn't find his name.

According to NJ election law, no voter is turned away.

So he was given a provisional ballot and it was accepted.

Somehow his provisional ballot was counted by county officials after the polls closed.

And of course, he could have registered to vote unlawfully at his county board of elections, but I doubt it. They're very stringent and ask for proof of identity and residency. He wouldn't have those documents.

8. it doesnt say if his voted was counted.

cd b just a provisional that was never even counted.

9. Good point. Voting and being counted are mutually exclusive.

11. New Jersey requires proof of citizenship when you register?

Did not know that. In Michigan you just have to check a box on the form.

10. I hope he voted Republican

Ocean County is the most Republican county in NJ.
