Nevada federal case alleges woman voted in 2024 election while not a U.S. citizen
Jullie Ann Sumalinog Moore faces one federal count alleging she voted in Nevada on Nov. 2, 2024, in an election that included races for president and Congress. She has not been found guilty, and a court appearance has not been scheduled.
Federal prosecutors in Nevada have charged Jullie Ann Sumalinog Moore with voting in a federal election while not a U.S. citizen, alleging she cast a ballot on or about Nov. 2, 2024.
The one-count criminal information says the election included contests for president, vice president, U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. The charge is voting by an alien, according to the U.S. Department of Justice. The filing alleges wrongdoing; Moore is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
The maximum penalty for the charge is one year in prison, a fine of up to $100,000, or both. Prosecutors had not scheduled Moore’s initial court appearance as of Oct. 23, 2026.
Sigal Chattah, first assistant U.S. attorney for Nevada, said federal authorities would investigate and prosecute violations of election law. Erin Burke, a special agent in charge for Homeland Security Investigations in Los Angeles, said the agency would continue working with law enforcement partners on such investigations.
The FBI and Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case.
