Robert Soutar, a 76-year-old Canadian citizen and legal permanent resident, admitted to illegally voting in the 2016 elections. He registered with no party preference and cast his votes despite not being a US citizen. His actions prompted scrutiny and revealed concerns about the vetting process for voter registration in Orange County.
District Attorney Todd Spitzer emphasized the significance of voting rights, stating, 'The privilege to vote is one of the most sacred rights we have as American citizens. Any allegation of electoral interference will be thoroughly investigated.' He reinforced that electoral integrity is paramount and measures will be taken against those who infringe upon it.
