Eliezer Kadoch, a 39-year-old French citizen residing in Toms River, New Jersey, pleaded guilty to illegally voting in the 2022 federal midterm elections. Kadoch cast his ballot on November 8, 2022, despite not being a U.S. citizen. His attorneys stated that he believed he was eligible to vote due to being automatically registered when he obtained his New Jersey driver’s license. Kadoch faces a maximum sentence of six months in federal prison and a $100,000 fine, with sentencing scheduled for October 26. The case was investigated by the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s Election Integrity Task Force, which includes various federal law enforcement agencies. The America First Policy Institute has raised concerns about noncitizens being added to voter rolls due to automatic voter registration linked to driver's licenses.
