Nigerian woman in Massachusetts charged after alleged illegal voting in federal elections

Lynn took the card. She checked citizen. She is a permanent resident, not a voter.

Summary

  • Fox News reports the Justice Department charged Gladys Adaeze Okafor, 56, a Nigerian-born lawful permanent resident in Massachusetts, with unlawfully voting as an alien in the 2024 presidential primary and the 2022 midterms.
  • Prosecutors say she falsified citizenship on official documents under penalty of perjury. In July 2022 she signed a voter registration card certifying she was a U.S. citizen, and the City of Lynn registered her.
  • In October 2023 she submitted another card and checked the citizenship box, then voted in the 2024 presidential primary, court documents state. She obtained lawful permanent resident status in December 2022 and has not applied for citizenship.
  • She is expected in a Boston federal courtroom on Wednesday and faces up to one year in prison and up to $10,000 in fines. Fox notes recent noncitizen voting cases in Texas, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Wisconsin.

Commentary

A mill dad still stands in a school gym with a paper ballot and knows a citizenship box is supposed to mean a passport, not a guess. He did not clock out early so a green card could outvote a citizen on a Tuesday.

July 2022 card. October 2023 card. Two federal elections. Lynn filed her in. The honest household already paid for a roll that was supposed to be citizens only. The linoleum in that precinct still waits.

Look every working father who still shows a license at a table in the eye and answer this: if a permanent resident already checked citizen twice, who still owns the next Lynn card that nobody ran against a passport?

Comments

If Lynn already filed the card, who still owns the next citizenship box?

Okafor. Lynn. July 2022. October 2023. Keep that order.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I stood a watch so a roll still meant a citizen. A green card is not a ballot.

u/rule_first · 4h

2022 midterms. 2024 primary. One year. $10,000. Print the four.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied rolls still treat a citizenship checkbox as a crime scene, not a courtesy.

u/docket_rat · 3h

LPR December 2022. No citizenship application. Two federal ballots. File the contrast.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still lose an hour to vote after a double. I want the next card matched to a passport.

A checked box is not paperwork. It is a warning the street already paid.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

A dirty roll is a second border around every midterm.

u/press_clip · 30m

Fox printed Lynn, the two cards, and the Boston date. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Proof of citizenship. Cancel the false cards. A gymnasium table is not a honor system.
