Rock Hill man accused of illegally voting in 2024 election [View all]
COLUMBIA, S.C. (WBTV) - A South Carolina man was indicted on Wednesday after he was accused for illegally voting in the 2024 election, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina.
On Wednesday, June 10, a federal grand jury returned a single-indictment on 38-year-old Ekam Monfum. Monfum is a legal permanent resident, but is a non-citizen living in Rock Hill and was charged for illegal voting.
The US. Attorney’s Office for the District of South Carolina said in-part, “The indictment alleges that Monfum came to the United States in December 2022 and obtained status as a legal permanent resident because he is married to a United States citizen. Despite not being a citizen, in August 2024, a registration to vote was submitted through the registration portal with the South Carolina Election Commission in Monfum’s name. The process requires the registrant to affirm that they are a United States citizen. Therefore, Monfum voted in the 2024 election.”
When someone is asked to affirm they are a U.S. citizen they must legally declare and swear under the penalty of perjury that they meet the citizenship requirement to vote.
