Mexican National Pleads Guilty of Voter Fraud by Unlawfully Voting Twice

The Attorney’s office for the Northern District of Alabama announced that a U.S. non-citizen pleaded guilty to voter fraud charges. The accused is a Mexican native who never obtained permanent citizenship in America. However, he still took part in voting for two elections, committing a major fraud.

According to the indictment against the man, he voted for the two important general elections back in 2022 and 2024. Prosecutors alleged that the accused was very well aware of the election laws and that only bona fide U.S. citizens are permitted to cast their ballots.

45-year-old Homero Ramos from Haleyville pleaded guilty to two counts of voting fraud before the district court on May 29. His plea was announced formally by the attorney Phillip W. Williams Jr., while District Judge Edmund G. LaCour heard the session.

The indictment of Ramos clearly specified that while he had obtained legal residency in the United States, he did not get permanent citizenship whatsoever. Despite knowing this fact, the man still got registered to vote and ended up voting for two consecutive general elections.

According to the Alabama law, an individual can register to vote in the state only when they fulfill a list of qualifications. One of the most important conditions requires them to be a valid citizen of the United States. Thus, an individual who is a lawful permanent resident of the country is still not eligible to vote.

Given the nature of the violation, Ramos’s case had been investigated by Homeland Security. They had been assisted by the Alabama Secretary of State's office and the IRS Criminal Investigation department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett A. Janich has prosecuted the case before the district court.

Ramos was arrested in the first week of March and later produced in court by the end of May. While he has pleaded guilty to the charges, if convicted, the 51-year-old could face up to five years in federal prison.

An unverified source from the court officials commented on the case as “A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. A defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.”

The recent case of voter fraud in Alabama follows another breakthrough obtained by investigators back on January 23, 2026. A federal grand jury in Birmingham charged a Canadian man who participated in multiple elections despite being a non-citizen.

The accused, Franc Neil Maloney, faced a four-count indictment filed against him. The document stated that he was a lawful resident in Blount County, but never obtained a valid U.S. citizenship.

Despite being aware of the law violation he was going to commit, Maloney voted in a total of four primary and general elections. These were in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024. Incidentally, at the time of his arrest for voter fraud, the accused was already said to be out on bond for an unrelated case of child por***** for which he faced 187 counts of federal charges.
