## Seven face federal charges
Federal officials say seven people in North Texas were taken into custody or surrendered over alleged illegal voting in recent general elections.
## Most cases involve 2024
Six suspects are accused of illegal voting tied to the 2024 general election. One case involves the 2018 general election.
## Non-citizens named
Officials said the suspects are from Nigeria, Mexico, India, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Six are lawful U.S. residents, but not citizens.
## Some ballots were rejected
Two federal defendants cast provisional ballots that were not counted. Six of the cases involved votes in Tarrant County.
## Local charges added
Tarrant County prosecutors charged two more people with voter fraud, though officials said they had not yet been taken into custody.
## Officials deny politics
U.S. Attorney Ryan Raybould said investigators were focused on whether someone voted illegally, not which candidate they supported.

> We don't care who that person voted for. That's not our focus.
## Key takeaway

The cases center on alleged non-citizen voting in Tarrant and Dallas counties, with federal officials saying the focus is eligibility, not ballot choice.
