• DOJ: Chinese National Cast Illegal Ballot, Then Accused Another Of Voter Fraud (tippinsights.com) — Federal prosecutors say an individual allegedly cast an illegal early ballot at Malden City Hall in the 2024 election by impersonating another Chinese national, then later reported that person for supposed voter fraud. The case, now in Boston federal court, highlights how noncitizen voting concerns intersect with Malden's own election operations and could influence future scrutiny of local voter registration and ballot procedures.
