Miya Pack
Introduction
Miya Pack, 40, of Philadelphia, was sentenced on 1 October 2026 to three years of probation and 75 hours of community service for voting more than once in a federal election — casting ballots in two states in the 2024 presidential race. She pleaded guilty in June 2026 to the offense, which she was charged with by indictment in September 2025, and U.S. District Judge Joshua D. Wolson imposed the sentence.
Background Information
As Pack admitted at her change-of-plea hearing, she had been registered to vote in Bergen County, New Jersey, since in or about 2004, and until October 2024 had no history of voting in New Jersey. In 2016 she also registered to vote in Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania — holding registrations in both states at once.
The Controversy or Incident That Led to Their Cancellation
Convicted and sentenced. Pack pleaded guilty in June 2026 to voting more than once in a federal election and received a probation sentence on 1 October 2026.
On 26 October 2024, Pack voted in person at an early voting location in Bergen County, New Jersey, casting a vote for President of the United States. On Election Day, 5 November 2024, she went to a polling place in Philadelphia County and cast another ballot in the 2024 general election — including another vote for President. The double vote made her a federal defendant ten months later, and the conviction stands on her own plea.
Public Reaction and Consequences
The case was investigated by the FBI with assistance from the New Jersey Office of the Superintendent of Elections for Bergen County and the office of Philadelphia City Commissioner Seth Bluestein, and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nancy E. Potts. The conviction — a rare federal double-voting case — was announced by U.S. Attorney David Metcalf’s office as part of its election-crime docket.
Current Status
Pack’s sentence — three years of probation and 75 hours of community service, with no prison time — is in effect, and the felony conviction follows her. No appeal or further proceeding appears in the record announcing the sentence, which resolved the case by plea rather than trial.
Impact on Their Career/Life
A federal felony conviction for double voting now sits on the record of a 40-year-old Philadelphia resident whose October and November 2024 ballots in two states became the documented evidence against her. The probation term and community-service obligation run for three years, and the case stands as the Eastern District of Pennsylvania’s example that dual-state voting in a presidential election is a prosecutable federal offense.
