FL: Man arrested for allegedly illegally voting in election in Miami-Dade

A man is facing multiple charges after authorities said he voted in an election in Miami-Dade despite not being a U.S. citizen.

Lazaro Valle-Villar, 74, is facing charges of voting as an unqualified voter, false affirmation regarding voting or elections, submission of false voter registration information and submitting a false statement to the Secretary of State, the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office announced Wednesday.

Prosecutors said Valle-Villar became a registered voter in Miami-Dade despite being a non-citizen, then voted in the Nov. 2, 2021 election.

On his Florida voter application forms, Valle-Villar indicated he was a U.S. citizen and qualified to vote, prosecutors said.

To support him being a legal citizen?

Don't drivers licenses indicate if one is a citizen? Seems Secretary of State wasn't doing their job.
