Jullie Ann Sumalinog Moore

Charged, not convicted. Moore is charged by criminal information with one count of voting by an alien. An information is merely an allegation, and she is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

Introduction

Jullie Ann Sumalinog Moore was charged on October 23, 2026, in federal court in Las Vegas with one count of voting by an alien, for allegedly casting a ballot in the November 2024 general election that included races for President, Vice President, the U.S. Senate, and the U.S. House of Representatives . The charge, brought by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Nevada, carries a maximum penalty of one year of imprisonment, a fine of up to $100,000, or both — a misdemeanor-tier election offense that Nevada federal prosecutors have paired with an aggressive public messaging campaign about noncitizen voting . An initial appearance date had not yet been scheduled as of the announcement .

Background Information

According to the criminal information, on or about November 2, 2024, Moore voted in an election held in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Member of the Senate, and Member of the House of Representatives . The offense of voting by an alien does not require proof of fraudulent registration documents or impersonation of another voter — the charge is that a noncitizen cast a ballot in a federal election, which federal law criminalizes regardless of the outcome of any race . The case was investigated by the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations, the two agencies Nevada federal prosecutors have leaned on for election-integrity enforcement .

The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation

The charging announcement was built around an unequivocal statement from Sigal Chattah, First Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Nevada: “Let me be absolutely clear: if you are a noncitizen and you cast a ballot in our elections, you are committing a federal crime” . Chattah added that her office “will not hesitate to use the full weight of federal law enforcement to investigate, indict, and prosecute anyone who attempts to compromise the integrity of our elections” . Erin Burke, Special Agent in Charge for HSI Los Angeles, said “protecting the integrity of the electoral process is essential to maintaining public confidence in our democratic institutions,” and FBI Las Vegas Special Agent in Charge Christopher S. Delzotto pledged that the FBI “will aggressively deploy every resource at our disposal to investigate any credible claim of voter fraud or illegal voting” .

Public Reaction and Consequences

The charge lands in the context of the Nevada federal prosecutor’s office having announced, a week earlier on October 16, a comprehensive election-integrity strategy for the 2026 general election developed in coordination with the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division . Moore’s case is the kind of prosecution that strategy advertises: a single-defendant charge publicized with statements from three federal agencies . No public statement from Moore or a defense attorney appears in the charging materials, and with no initial appearance yet held, the allegation remains entirely untested .

Current Status

Moore has been charged but not arrested or arraigned on the public record as of the October 23 announcement, with her initial appearance yet to be scheduled . If convicted, she faces up to one year in prison and a $100,000 fine . As a charged non-citizen, she also faces the immigration consequences that follow any criminal disposition, which the release does not address .

Impact on Their Career/Life

A federal charge of voting by an alien carries consequences far beyond its one-year maximum: a noncitizen convicted of making a false claim of citizenship or voting in a federal election becomes removable from the United States. Moore’s case — filed two years after the ballot was cast and publicized with three statements from federal agencies — shows how single-ballot election cases have become priority federal prosecutions in Nevada, where the U.S. Attorney’s office has staked its public profile on election enforcement.
