A spokesperson for the Michigan Secretary of State confirmed to Fox News Digital that the Chinese citizen voted at a polling place at the University of Michigan Museum of Art on Sunday, Oct. 27.
The state's top authorities condemned the 19-year-old's actions, saying that since the man is not a U.S. citizen, he cannot vote in federal elections.
"Only U.S. citizens can register and vote in our elections. It is illegal to lie on any registration forms or voting applications about one’s citizenship status. Doing so is a felony," Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit wrote in a joint statement.
Despite the fact that the Chinese citizen's ballot was cast illegally, it is expected to be counted in the upcoming election.
Andrew McCarthy, a Fox News contributor and a former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, told Fox News Digital that it is expected to count because there is no way for election officials to retrieve it once it's been put through a tabulator.
