Court: Bermudian Charged In US Voting Case
Gregory Eugene Wade, who is identified as a “native of Bermuda” is among nine noncitizens indicted in North Carolina for allegedly voting in the 2024 U.S. election.
A statement from the US Department of Justice said, “A federal grand jury has indicted nine more noncitizens, including an illegal alien, for illegally voting in the 2024 election. These indictments build on the 12 indictments U.S. Attorney Boyle unveiled on Oct. 15, including another illegal alien, for illegally voting in the 2024 North Carolina elections, bringing the total to 21 individuals indicted in the Eastern District of North Carolina for illegally voting.”
The statement alleged that “Gregory Eugene Wade, 64, a native of Bermuda and a lawful permanent resident residing in Wake County, North Carolina, is charged with one count of falsely claiming citizenship to vote and one count of voting by an alien. He registered to vote in 2000 and voted in 12 general elections in 2024, 2022, 2020, 2018, 2016, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2008, 2004, 2002, and 2000, as well as the 2020 and 2002 primary elections.”
The statement added, “The charges of falsely stating or claiming U.S. citizenship to vote carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine. Voting by an alien carries a maximum penalty of one year in prison and a $100,000 fine. Upon conviction, a federal district court judge will determine any imposed sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
“FBI and HSI are investigating the above cases. The U.S. Attorney’s Offices for the Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of North Carolina are prosecuting the cases in their respective districts.
“An indictment or information merely contain accusations. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.”
