In the Eastern District of North Carolina, a 69-year-old Canadian national, Denis Bouchard, has been charged with voting illegally in the U.S. elections of 2022 and 2024.
According to sources from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Bouchard is alleged to have misrepresented his citizenship status to participate in federal elections. U.S. Attorney Ellis Boyle, in a statement, voiced concerns about the integrity of the democratic process, underscoring that every illegal vote cast by a noncitizen nullifies the vote of a legitimate U.S. citizen.

The evidence suggests Bouchard, who has lived in the U.S. since the ’60s, may have been involved in this illegal conduct for the past two decades. If the records are correct, Bouchard seems to have cast his vote in the New Hanover and Pender County elections throughout this period. The prosecution team is intent on proving these charges in court.
Bouchard faces severe penalties if found guilty. The charges he faces – illegally registering to vote and participating in federal elections in 2022 and 2024- could result in a sentence of up to five years’ imprisonment.
This case raises important questions about the security of the voting process and the implications of such alleged actions on the sanctity of democratic institutions.
