An illegal alien from Mauritania was arrested and charged for voting in five US presidential elections.
“United States Attorney David Metcalf announced that Mahady Sacko, 50, of Philadelphia was arrested and charged by criminal complaint with fraudulent voting in the 2024 federal election by an illegal alien,” the DOJ said.

“Sacko is an illegal alien who was ordered deported in 2000. Despite being an illegal alien, Sacko allegedly unlawfully voted in person in the 2024 general election for federal office,” the Justice Department said.

“Sacko falsely represented that he was a U.S. citizen in order to vote and register to vote,” the DOJ said.

Sacko is facing five years in prison.

An illegal immigrant from Mauritania was charged with fraudulent voting after allegedly casting ballots in Pennsylvania in the last five presidential elections, prosecutors said.

Mahady Sacko, a 50-year-old Philadelphia resident who was ordered to be deported from the U.S. in 2000, “allegedly unlawfully voted in person in the 2024 general election for federal office,” and, “falsely represented that he was a U.S. citizen in order to vote and register to vote,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.

An FBI special agent investigating the case said Pennsylvania state voting records showed Sacko also “voted in the following federal elections: the 2008 general election, the 2012 general election, the 2016 primary election, the 2016 general election, the 2020 primary election [and] the 2020 general election.”

“Sacko voted in person for each of these elections, except for the 2020 primary election, in which he voted by mail. On each occasion, Sacko falsely represented that he was a U.S. citizen,” the agent wrote in a criminal complaint.
