A stolen ballot plus a DHS tip is a two-front attack. Charge both halves.
Chinese man accused of illegally voting in landlord's name to ruin his immigration status
Prosecutors say Yupeng Sun cast a 2024 ballot in his landlord's name, then tipped DHS, hoping to get a green-card family deported.
Summary
- Federal prosecutors charged Yupeng Sun, a Chinese national, with registering and casting a ballot in his former Massachusetts landlord's name.
- Investigators say he was seeking revenge after an assault-and-battery charge involving the landlord's daughter, later dropped, and an eviction.
- Authorities say he first tried to get the landlord and wife, Chinese citizens with green cards, deported, then used the illegal vote as a DHS tip.
- He allegedly submitted repeated anonymous tips to Homeland Security reporting the illegal vote he had staged.
Commentary
A green-card couple still hears the mailbox lid clang and wonders if the next letter is a hearing. They paid rent. They followed the line. A former tenant, prosecutors say, stole the landlord's name, voted in 2024, and then called DHS like a sniper calling in his own shot.
That is the gap. Citizens wait in the cold to show ID. A revenge plot treated the voter roll like a weapon and immigration status like a hostage. The ballot was not speech. It was a trap.
Ask every election clerk who swears the rolls are clean: if a man can register as his landlord and then phone ICE on the victim, what lock was actually on that book?

Is voter-roll revenge a national-security file?

Green-card landlords should not be hunted with a voter form.

Noncitizen voting is already a crime. Identity theft makes it a conspiracy.

Election integrity is how a country stays a country. This case is the exhibit.

The same activists who call voter ID cruel will go quiet on a Chinese revenge ballot.

I show a license to buy beer. He showed a stolen name to change a government.

If the roll can be used as a weapon, my precinct is not safe either.

CCP-adjacent fraud patterns start with small, ugly files like this. Pull the thread.

Times named Sun, the 2024 ballot, and the DHS tips. Stay on that chain.

Citizen-only rolls, same-day ID, and real penalties. Harden the book.
