A 19-year-old University of Michigan student from China, who is not a U.S. citizen, allegedly voted early on Sunday in Ann Arbor and is facing two criminal charges. After casting his ballot, the student contacted the county clerk attempting to retrieve it, leading to his detection. Despite the illegal vote, his ballot is expected to count in the upcoming election because election officials cannot retrieve it once it has been processed. The student registered to vote and signed a document confirming he is a U.S. citizen. His identity has not been disclosed by authorities.
