Canadian citizen charged with illegally voting in multiple U.S. elections
Prosecutors say Sunny Manhertz voted in four federal elections and faces charges that could bring up to five years in prison.
- Sunny Manhertz, a Canadian resident of Saugus, Massachusetts, was charged in Boston with voting illegally in multiple federal elections after prosecutors alleged he cast ballots known to be fraudulent.
- Manhertz became a Lawful Permanent Resident in 1987, yet prosecutors state he registered to vote by checking "Yes" regarding citizenship, signing the form under penalty of perjury despite his alien status.
- Saugus records show Manhertz voted in federal elections including 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024, and he submitted an I-90 form to the Department of Homeland Security using his Alien Registration Number.
- If convicted, Manhertz faces between one and five years in prison and fines ranging from $100,000 to $250,000; he made his initial appearance in federal court in Boston and was released on conditions.
- The accused must follow all local, state, and federal laws as his legal proceedings continue, with his next court date scheduled for June 3.
