Following a referral from Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen to Trump’s Department of Justice, a Mexican noncitizen has pleaded guilty to voting in multiple Alabama elections. Homero Ramos, 45, pleaded guilty to two counts of fraudulent voting in Marion County, Alabama, after voting in both the 2022 and 2024 general elections. “Earlier this year, my Office referred 25 noncitizens who illegally voted in Alabama elections to federal law enforcement authorities. A noncitizen residing in Marion County, who registered to vote prior to my election as Secretary of State, has pleaded guilty to two counts of fraudulent voting,” Allen said. “My Office will continue our efforts to identify noncitizens illegally registered to vote and voting in our elections and I will refer them to law enforcement and ensure that they are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. I am thankful that President Trump shares my zero-tolerance policy for noncitizen voting and for his DOJ’s particular attention to election integrity.” Secretary Allen thanks the United States Department of Homeland Security, the Internal Revenue Service, and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Alabama—particularly Assistant United States Attorney Brett A. Janich—for their work investigating and prosecuting this case. Wes Allen is Alabama’s 54th Secretary of State. The Secretary of State is Alabama’s Chief Elections Official. Additionally, Alabama law gives the Secretary of State more than 1,000 different duties.

Secretary of State Wes Allen Files Legal Motion to Fast-Track Redistricting Case
Secretary of State Wes Allen Files Legal Motion to Fast-Track Redistricting Case | Alabama Secretary of State Skip to main content Braille Voter Guide Secretary of State Wes Allen Files Legal Motion to Fast-Track Redistricting Case Please email [email protected] to be subscribed to our mailing list. Wes Allen, Alabama’s Secretary of State, has formally requested that the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit expedite consideration of Alabama’s state Senate redistricting case in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision in Louisiana v. Callais. “As the appellant in both of Alabama’s redistricting cases, I am taking decisive legal action, in coordination with Attorney General Steve Marshall, to seek expedited judicial review,” Allen said. “Timely resolution is critical to provide clarity and stability for Alabama’s election process. The State has a primary role in drawing its legislative districts through its elected representatives, and continued delay prolongs federal court oversight beyond what is necessary.” The request comes as Governor Kay Ivey has called a special session to ensure Alabama is positioned to act promptly as courts resolve outstanding redistricting litigation at both the state and federal levels. “Alabama stands ready to move forward. With the Governor’s special session underway, we are prepared to act promptly to implement state Senate maps consistent with governing law and return map-drawing authority to the Legislature,” Allen said.
