A 75-year-old Canadian woman has been charged with illegally voting in three U.S. elections.

What it means

A 75-year-old Canadian woman who was living in Florida without legal status has been charged with three counts of voter fraud for casting ballots in three U.S. federal elections even though she is not a U.S. citizen. The charges follow an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and Lee County authorities, and she reportedly faces up to three years in prison. The case is being reported by Canadian and U.S. outlets citing the U.S. Department of Justice.

Accuracy & sourcesSourced

The claim is based on a U.S. Department of Justice announcement or court filing, and the secondary reporting (CTV, Global News, local Florida outlets) consistently cites that primary source. The core facts — the woman's age, nationality, illegal residence, and the three voter-fraud counts — are reported uniformly, though the underlying charging document was not independently reviewed here.
