Supports. The DOJ U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Texas announced that seven non-citizens were charged with unlawfully voting in federal elections or falsely claiming U.S. citizenship in a sweeping federal election integrity operation.[2]
Supports. Multiple outlets, including AP and Dallas News, report the same seven federal charges in North Texas, with the investigation described as a coordinated federal and state effort.[1][4][5][6]
