BOISE, Idaho - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services assisted an investigation that resulted in charges against two Canadian aliens residing in eastern Idaho for unlawfully voting in the 2022 general election. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Idaho made the announcement.

According to court records, Taralynn Kathleen Bosco, 48, of Rexburg, is alleged to have voted in the 2022 general election even though she was not a U.S. citizen.

In a separate case, Stanley Richard Walton, 82, of Chubbuck, is alleged to have voted in the 2022 general election, even though he was not a U.S. citizen.

If convicted of illegal voting by aliens, Bosco and Walton each face a fine up to $100,000, and up to one year in prison.
