Illegal immigrant charged with voting in Pennsylvania in 5 presidential elections

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.
