Minneapolis St. Paul, MN, October 1, 2026 —

Federal authorities have announced charges against 10 individuals in the Minneapolis-St. Paul area in Minnesota, alleging illegal voting. This action is noted as part of a broader campaign focused on noncitizen voting, reportedly initiated during the Trump administration.

While the charges have been filed, the context provided indicates that instances of noncitizen voting are considered rare. The 10 cases represent a very small proportion when measured against the total number of ballots cast in the state, which amounts to millions in general elections.

Reports suggest that the scale of such alleged illegal voting is not considered sufficient to impact the overall outcome of election results in Minnesota.
