【福克斯新闻独家报道】 一名近日承认在2022年联邦中期选举中非法投票的法国公民的代理律师告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,他以为自己有权投票,因为他在领取新泽西州驾照时被自动完成了选民登记。

根据美国新泽西州地区检察官办公室的一份声明,来自汤姆斯河的39岁男子埃利泽·卡多什已在特伦顿联邦法院向美国地方法官J.布兰登·戴认罪,罪名是作为外籍人士在联邦选举中投票。

法庭文件显示,尽管卡多什是法国公民且从未拥有过美国公民身份,但他仍在2022年11月8日违规参加了选举,此次选举部分职责为选举美国众议院议员。

卡多什的代理律师约瑟夫·雅科波维奇告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,他的当事人投票时“误以为”自己有权合法投票,因为他在领取新泽西州驾照时被自动完成了选民登记。

“卡多什先生已为自己的行为承担责任,”雅科波维奇说道,“……他从未意图违反法律或投下非法选票。不幸的是,他认罪的这项罪名不需要证明犯罪意图,而他现在已经完全清楚这一点。”

据官员透露,卡多什目前面临最高6个月的联邦监禁及10万美元罚款,其 sentencing 定于10月26日进行。

美国优先政策研究所(AFPI)报告称,向非公民发放驾照并结合自动选民登记制度,可能导致他们被纳入选民名册。

该非营利组织表示,近年来包括阿拉巴马州、佛罗里达州、佐治亚州、爱达荷州、印第安纳州、路易斯安那州、密歇根州、蒙大拿州、俄亥俄州、田纳西州、德克萨斯州、犹他州和弗吉尼亚州在内的多个州都对此展开调查,并在选民名册中发现了非公民。

美国优先政策研究所起草的示范法案提出了解决方案,包括要求投票者提供公民身份证明,并实施审计要求以确保选民名册中没有非公民。

美国检察官罗伯特·弗雷泽指出,此案由美国检察官办公室选举诚信特别工作组提起,该工作组是由联邦执法伙伴组成的联盟,致力于维护和保护新泽西州选举的完整性。

此次调查由联邦调查局、国土安全调查局以及美国公民及移民服务局的特工联合开展。

卡多什的移民身份尚未公开。

新泽西州国务院、新泽西州机动车委员会、海洋县书记员办公室以及美国优先政策研究所均未立即回应福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。

DOJ cracking down on noncitizen voters

UC Berkeley Law professor John Yoo joins ‘Fox News Live’ to discuss the Justice Department’s investigation into voter rolls as it seeks to identify noncitizen voters.

FIRST ON FOX: Attorneys representing a French national who recently admitted to illegally casting a ballot in the 2022 federal midterm elections told Fox News Digital that he thought he was allowed to vote because he was automatically registered when he received his New Jersey driver’s license.

Eliezer Kadoch, 39, of Toms River, pleaded guilty to voting by an alien in a federal election before U.S. Magistrate Judge J. Brandon Day in Trenton federal court, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of New Jersey.

Though Kadoch is a citizen of France and has never held U.S. citizenship, he illegally voted on Nov. 8, 2022, during an election that was held in part to elect members of the U.S. House of Representatives, according to court documents.

Attorney Yosef Jacobovitch, who is representing Kadoch, told Fox News Digital that when his client cast the ballot, he “mistakenly believed” he was legally permitted to vote because he had been automatically registered when he obtained his New Jersey driver’s license.

“Mr. Kadoch accepted responsibility for his actions,” Jacobovitch said. “… There was never any intent to violate the law or cast an unlawful ballot. Unfortunately, the offense to which he pleaded guilty does not require proof of criminal intent, and he now fully understands that.”

Kadoch now faces up to six months in federal prison and a $100,000 fine, according to officials. His sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 26.

SUPREME COURT HANDS TRUMP TWO MAJOR IMMIGRATION VICTORIES

The America First Policy Institute (AFPI) reported that issuing driver’s licenses to noncitizens, combined with automatic voter registration, can result in them being added to voter rolls.

In recent years, the nonprofit said numerous states — including Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Montana, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia — investigated the issue and identified noncitizens on their voter rolls.

Model legislation drafted by AFPI suggested solutions including requiring proof of citizenship to vote, and implementing audit requirements to ensure that noncitizens are not on the voter rolls.

U.S. Attorney Robert Frazer noted the case was brought by the United States Attorney’s Office’s Election Integrity Task Force, a coalition of federal law enforcement partners dedicated to preserving and protecting the integrity of elections in New Jersey.

The investigation was a joint effort involving special agents from the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

Kadoch’s immigration status was not publicly released.

The New Jersey Department of State, New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, Ocean County Clerk’s Office and AFPI did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comment.
