Biden commie Judge David Leibowitz from Florida ruled in favor of a Jamaican national because it was federal prosecutors who brought the case under a federal statute against non-citizens voting.
Leibowitz claims only states can decide whether noncitizens can vote. WTH?
The dirty communists are out of control in America today!
They know they need the illegal votes or Democrats CAN’T WIN!
U.S. District Judge David Leibowitz (Southern District of Florida, nominated by President Biden) dismissed a federal criminal case on October 1, 2026, against Chelsea Cox, a Jamaican national, ruling that the federal statute criminalizing noncitizen voting in federal elections is unconstitutional.
Cox entered the United States as a tourist in 1999 and remained after her visa expired the following year. She used a fraudulent U.S. Virgin Islands birth certificate to obtain a Florida driver’s license and registered to vote in 2012. She cast ballots in federal elections from 2012 through 2020.
Only the 2020 vote fell within the statute of limitations when she was charged in October 2025 under 18 U.S.C. § 611 (“voting by an alien”), a 1996 law that makes it a misdemeanor for a noncitizen to vote in elections for president, vice president, or members of Congress.
Biden Judge Leibowitz held that the Constitution assigns the power to set voter qualifications to the states, not Congress.
He wrote that Florida already prohibits and can punish the conduct at issue under state law, and that it is for Florida—not the Department of Justice—to enforce that requirement.
The opinion states: “Can the State of Florida prohibit and punish the exact conduct Defendant Cox allegedly engaged in here? This has already been decided elsewhere and is not addressed here: Florida can and does.” He concluded that “the Constitution does not authorize Congress to legislate voter qualifications for federal elections.”
Cox’s attorney welcomed the dismissal. Of course.
