A Canadian man has pleaded guilty to two counts of making false claims certifying that he was a U.S. citizen on North Carolina voter registration applications in 2022 and 2024 to vote in elections in those years, including in the 2024 presidential election, the Department of Justice has said. According to court documents cited by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina in a press release, the 70-year-old man, Denis Bouchard, falsely claimed to be a United States citizen in order to vote. It added that he had lived in the U.S. since the 1960s but never obtained American citizenship. “This shows that our elections remain under attack from aliens,” said U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle, who was sworn into the position last August. “We will not tolerate noncitizens lying to illegally vote here in North Carolina.
