A Jamaican man and a Haitian man have both been charged with illegally voting in US elections.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) yesterday announced that Jamaican national Patrick Terrance Reid, 61, a lawful permanent resident, was charged after its investigation revealed that he voted in person in the presidential elections held in November 2012 and November 2016, and via mail-in ballot in the presidential elections in November 2020 and November 2024 in New Jersey.

Reid was additionally charged with making false statements while applying for US citizenship.

The DOJ said Valery Zidor, a Haitian national who was granted Temporary Protected Status, falsely claimed to be a US citizen to register to vote and voted in the 2024 General Election.

Zidor pleaded guilty in federal court to two counts of making a false claim of citizenship in order to vote and one count of voting by an alien, the DOJ said.

This brings to four the number of Caribbean nationals who have been charged in recent weeks with election fraud in the US.

On September 24, the DOJ announced that Haitian national Cliff Sanon, an illegal resident who has been residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was charged by criminal complaint with one count of submitting a fraudulent voter registration application.

According to the complaint, Sanon allegedly submitted a voter registration application in February 2026 in Philadelphia County prior to the May 2026 primary election, despite being a citizen of Haiti and not an American citizen.

If convicted, the 39-year-old faces a maximum of five years of imprisonment, one year of supervised release, a $250,000 fine and a $100 special assessment.

Trinidadian Sade Guppy, 37, of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was charged by information with one count of voting by a non-citizen.

According to the information, Guppy allegedly illegally voted in Philadelphia County in the November 2022 general election, even though she was not a United States citizen.

If convicted, she faces a maximum of one year of imprisonment, one year of supervised release, a $100,000 fine and a $25 special assessment.
