#YourFDLE arrested British National James Ross Wightman on six counts of voting illegally. Wightman is an illegal alien from the United Kingdom with a criminal record in Hawaii.

@fdlepio FDLE Commissioner Mark Glass said, “In Florida, we uphold the rule of law in our elections. Thanks to the leadership of Governor DeSantis, anyone who seeks to illegally cast their ballot will be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law.”

The charges are the result of an investigation led by FDLE’s Election Crime Unit (ECU) working with the Florida Department of State Office of Election Crimes and Security (OECS), U.S. Department of State, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Immigration and Customs Office (ICE) and with assistance from the Miami-Dade County Supervisor of Elections Office.

@FLSecofState Secretary of State Cord Byrd said, “Florida leads the nation in election security, and we continue to aggressively enforce our laws to stop non-citizens from voting. Under the leadership of Governor Ron DeSantis, The Florida Department of State Office of Election Crimes and Security swiftly reviews allegations of fraud working with FDLE and law enforcement to ensure Florida laws are followed.”

@KathyFndzRundle Katherine Fernandez Rundle said, “Voting is a civic duty for every American citizen. James Wightman knew that he was not an American citizen having previously left for the United Kingdom when facing deportation. His lack of citizenship did not stop him from allegedly casting a vote in our elections. There is no excuse for such actions or conduct, which violate Florida law and cloud our voting integrity.”
