Whistleblower records obtained by the Maine Wire, along with voter registration records from the Maine Secretary of State’s office, show that multiple votes have been cast in Maine under the names of legal and illegal aliens who should be ineligible to vote in U.S. federal, state, and local Maine elections.
The records include state-managed Medicaid billing profiles showing the names, addresses, social security numbers, dates of birth, phone numbers, and immigration statuses of legal aliens and illegal aliens.
The records show the legal and illegal aliens billing Medicaid, known in Maine as MaineCare, for hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical expenses. They were provided to the Maine Wire by a whistleblower concerned about potentially fraudulent billing practices at a healthcare provider in Maine.
When the identities of the 18 legal and illegal aliens named in the records were cross-referenced with voting records from the Maine Secretary of State, six of the individuals were registered to vote, five had voted in elections since 2016, and all were registered Democrats.
If their immigration statuses have been correctly recorded in Maine’s MaineCare system, then none of the individuals should be legally allowed to register to vote or vote in U.S. federal, state, or local Maine elections.
The Maine Wire is withholding the records themselves as well as unique identifying information about the individuals in order to protect sensitive health information of the immigrants as well as the source’s identity.
Three of the illegally registered voters are described in Maine’s state-managed Medicaid portal as “2-Legal Alien,” and three are described in the system as “3-Other.”
None are listed as “1-U.S. Citizen,” which is the other available option.
None of the individuals received social security numbers in the years in which they were born, indicating that they were only given social security numbers — or the equivalent identifier given to immigrants — after coming to the U.S.
The individuals range in age from 35 to 74. According to SSN-Check.org, they received their social security numbers at ages ranging from 16 to 58. Four of the individuals received their social security numbers in Maine, while one received their number in Georgia and another received theirs in California.
Two of the individuals who are over the age of 65 are described in the records as ineligible for Medicare, which is another indication that these individuals are not U.S. citizens. Illegal aliens are ineligible for the federal health care program regardless of their age, and only certain legal aliens are eligible for Medicare if they’ve worked legally for long enough within the U.S.
One of those individuals, a 68-year-old female whose Alien Status is listed as “3-Other” in the records, was registered to vote in May 2019 and, in the 2020 election, an absentee ballot was cast in her name.
The other, a 74-year-old female listed in the records as “2-Legal Alien,” was registered to vote in Oct. 2016. Ballots were cast in that individual’s name in 2016, 2018, 2020, and 2022.
In 2016 and 2020, those votes were cast by absentee ballot.
The records offer no indication as to whether the individuals intentionally registered to vote and cast the ballots themselves or were registered to vote by another party and had ballots cast in their name without their knowledge or permission.
Several of the medical records indicate that the registered Democratic voters have severe intellectual or developmental disabilities and cognitive impairment.
One voter, who has not voted but was registered to vote as a Democrat in June, is described in the medical records as having “no cognitive capacity.”
All but one of the individuals has an address that corresponds with taxpayer-subsidized public housing.
The records for all six registered Maine voters indicate that they require interpreters when receiving medical care, as English is not their primary language. Several are recorded as speaking no English.
Any interpreter services would also be paid for by MaineCare.
Although non-citizens are generally ineligible for health care coverage under federal Medicaid rules, Maine is one of a handful of states that will nonetheless cover certain non-citizens via the state-administered program.
Maine’s MaineCare/Medicaid rules shed light on what it means for these six registered Democrats to be classified as either “2-Legal Alien” or “3-Other” in the MaineCare system.
The “2-Legal Alien” category includes individuals who are legal permanent residents (green card holders), refugees, asylees, and asylum applicants who have been paroled.
The “3-Other” category includes people who may be undocumented or have an uncertain immigration status, such as those who have not begun or completed the asylum process.
Green card holders, legal permanent residents, asylum recipients, asylum applicants, aspiring asylum applicants, and illegal immigrants are prohibited from voting in U.S. federal, state, and local Maine elections.
It’s unclear how or why these six individuals — despite not being U.S. citizens — have become registered to vote as Democrats and, in several cases, have had votes cast in their names in U.S. elections.
However, Maine does not affirmatively verify citizenship when an individual attempts to register to vote, and instead relies only on the individual’s attestation that they are, in fact, eligible to vote as proof that they are eligible to vote.
Maine is also not among the states that requires voters to present photo identification in order to obtain an absentee ballot or cast a ballot on Election Day.
For the past four years, Maine Gov. Janet Mills (D) and the Democrat-controlled legislature have shot down several attempts at implementing election integrity reforms that would prevent non-citizens from voting, including proposed voter ID laws.
The sample of records obtained by the Maine Wire is a tiny portion of the population of legal and illegal aliens currently residing in Maine.
Immigrant advocacy groups estimate that anywhere from 60,000 to 100,000 legal and illegal immigrants currently reside in Maine, but it is unclear how many of them are also registered to vote and voting in U.S. elections — or having votes cast in their names by other parties.

“Several of the medical records indicate that the registered Democratic voters have severe intellectual or developmental disabilities and cognitive impairment.”
Can’t argue with that statement in general.
We get…..all too often unfortunately, the government that we deserve.
Well there you go, no longer can they say there’s no proof. Law says lock them up and deport, let’s see if mills/bellows choose to become accomplices to voter fraud.
Cue Claude Rains from his Casablanca role.
So, they discovered a handful. How many are there, really???
Just the tip of the ice berg
Illegals are also voting on school budgets.
“Let’s Go Mills”.
Lady Mainwe.. is that you Janet? Shanna?
Bull shit is all I can say! Its only the tip of the iceburg
Surely we don’t expect that Shenna Bellows is going to protect election integrity?
Didn’t MW run a report a month or two ago showing DHHS is registering illegals to vote?
Sounds like some arrests need to be made.
And this is exactly why the Dirty Dems are bringing the illegals in.
Bellows actively supports viter fraud!
I have worked with people in Maine with multiple or severe disabilities for more than 20 years. These are people who need significant levels of support in everyday activities such as eating, toileting, mobility, etc. They almost always have IQ scores under 70. Only about 2% of the population has IQ scores this low. So. Know this population quite well.
The descriptions here intimate that these six individuals are illegally registered voters with significant cognitive disabilities. They are most likely institutionalized, such as in a group home with 1:1 staffing or in a medical facility such as a nursing home or hospital setting. As adults, they would have a legal guardian making all significant decisions in their life. They would assuredly not have the capacity to indicate a desire to vote, nor would they be capable of meaningfully participating in either the registration to vote or the act of voting.
So, instead of being a condemnation of these illegal immigrants, this should be a damning finding of misuse of power by those who care for them. Someone or ones who cares for them has garnered a seconds vote for themself/-selves. These six individuals should not be victimized further, nor threatened legally for breaking the law. Instead, the caregivers or others with the power to be able to commit this type of abuse should be penalized and punished. Or maybe even deport the caregivers who are here legally.
Shenna bellows found a route to remove Trump from the ballot but found no path to remove illegal aliens from the voter roles.
DEI administrations wither local/state/federal refuse to be audited and held responsible for the results and people are tired of it, reality sucks and we want it cleaned up and vote in people who will do it. Results will be on display and cost accounted for.
Why are we paying for this premium healthcare for these ILLEGALS? When we are closing nursing homes for Mainers?
Fact – In February 2019, the congressional election for the 9th District in North Carolina was voided because of Republican voter fraud. The North Carolina Board of Elections ordered a new election in the 9th District after allegations of illegal activity in handling mail-in ballots. The five-member board’s unanimous action came after several days of hearings into Republican ballot-collecting practices in the 2018 general election. The Republican winner, Mark Harris, claimed he did not know about the fraud. Harris had been warned by his son about hiring political operative McCrae Dowless used in an absentee ballot operation. Dowless was a convicted felon along with a very questionable pass concerning his involvement in other elections. Harris hired him anyway.
The new Republican candidate won the special election.
There result, Harris withdrew and another election was held.
Hearst Television’s National Investigative Unit did an in-depth study on voter fraud and I highly recommend reading it. Hearst is far from a left-wing radical group.and leans strongly conservative.
I oppose election fraud by anyone.
” and all were registered Democrats.” Well that explains to the question in my head of why no charges have been filed.
We did not ask for these people, ILLEGAL ALIENS, to come here regardless of their handicaps or other issues. They should all be deported and if they want to come back go to the US Embassy in their country. The Communists are destroying the country via these people for power and money. Why do you think the education system is crap and you can not find a place to live? You have ILLEGAL ALIENS given brand new apartments in Brunswick for 2 years for free with no conditions. What state do you think those apartments will be at the end of the 2 years? Mainers you voted these Communists in and this is what you get!!! I always thought Mainers had common sense, but sure looks like they are clueless and stupid.
OK…So we have all this evidence of a crime, but no one is being held accountable ? Does this mean, in the “new Maine” I can drive drunk, rob a bank, or buy a house and grow marijuana in it with complete impunity ? Apparently so……..
How about the folks who have died,or moved away? When was the last time Bellows cleaned the voter rolls>
To jph517: Only if you’re here illegally. otherwise, expect consequences….unless you’re a Democrat!
This is why many place require voter registration information to be public. Maine intentionally prevents people from looking it up.
Doesn’t Maine also disallow voting by people under guardianship? Wouldn’t these people also be disqualified in that case? Now I want to know how many citizens who can’t legally vote are having ballots case in their names.
Ask your source to get a bigger net!
Well considering the IQ of these people they would make fine democrats.
Any seated republicans at the state level have nuts enough to bring charges forth and start cleaning out the Maine house and the dirty dems would be my question.
I wonder how many people vote in more than one state? I highly doubt these high end towns notify the other state when someone has a summer home in Maine and register to vote. I have a feeling hundreds of not thousands of people vote in Maine and in places like NY/FL
The inbred jews are attacking everybody. Your idiot jewish media source is lying to you, The jews are not your friends and they are not victims of anything. Satans chosen little devils are desperate to draw USA into WWIII. The jews are mass murdering pigs.
The Infidels in the bible (NT) where queers. Look it up. It’s true.
Voter ID is the simple solution across the Nation! To vote, a person MUST prove US citizenship. Otherwise, you do jail time. The law of the land is in effect, just bloody enforce it!
Is anyone really shocked? My shock would come from something actually being done about it.
One more step closer to war. Democrats are war lovers
Trump’s a convicted felon. Can he vote in Florida? Not likely.
Ohhhhhh, man, having Bellows in charge of the elections, what could go wrong?
Pretty sure once a honest, non partisan DOJ is in place most washington democrats will find themselves felons, traders and enemies of the state. Lawfair, what goes around comes around.
Today’s headline 10/14, “America will send troops and advanced anti-missile system to Israel” and ”China is carrying out ‘total blockade’ drills around Taiwan“ The great foreign policy diplomat is sending your children to a war. For those of you that voted for this moron I hope your children go first. For the few of you who are still thinking of harris I hope yours go second.
great reportage. so who did they vote for?
for instance in 2016: 732,100 mainers voted, counting these 6 fraudulent votes that is 1 vote for every 122,017.
by the math that means possibly 8 votes out of 1,000,000 and nationally 1040 fraudulent votes out of 129,838,342 (basically one hundred thirty million)- this is why every reputable news outlet and government official has repeatedly said that fraud just isn’t a factor in US elections.
and all of these illegal votes could have went to Trump
when are you going to publish the names of the people who voted 100 or 1000 times, who they voted for and which precinct? that would be actual fraud that would be meaningful.
how about people that are currently being prosecuted or have have been convicted of vote fraud in the last 8 years? the readers to the maine wire need some context.
does anyone think that the USPS is delivering 100 mail in ballots with different names to one physical land address?
This is a whole lot of NOTHING. There are references to an investigation involving a medical practice concerning fraudulent billing. Then there is a jump to potential illegal voting based on the medical practice notes. I would like to know if those individuals ineligible to vote VOTED. That can be checked. Instead, a great deal of time is spent talking about various categories of individuals who can or can’t vote. Again, all of this is taken from medical records and then cross referenced. We have no idea if the medical records are accurate especially since there is a Whistleblower claim of fraud. Much ado about nothing. Accurate reporting is important. Spreading bs is easy. Shame on you.
Why is it always the College educated Militant Feminists that are “Mud Lovers”? Is it some kind of Mandingo Fetish ? There was “Rigged Elections ” when the Bald Midget /Matt Dunlap was Sec. of State…. Nothing new just the Commies taking of their Masks….
They can vote in local elections.
Per Shanna bellows at debate against voter ID laws, as of 2 years ago, 162,299 registered voters (did not specify party they were registered as of course) that have NO ID’s whatsoever, they cannot prove they are a Maine resident nor can they prove they are a US Citizen. So the person that says the 6 alone that are mentioned in this article is nothing to be concerned about, they need to realize that it was just 6 that one reporter without the states access found. 162,299 VOTERS who are most likely NOT eligible to vote is actually 13% of our voters. THAT is a concern. That was 2 years ago and we have had thousands more illegals dumped into this state since.
We need and the people want voter ID. Democrat party are the ones who cheat. Jan 6 was a protest not a takeover. Pelosi refused the national guard. Total set up. No guns. This is how evil the Swamp and Democrats are.
Every Senator voted to confirm “Pinhead ” Bellows as Sec. of State…. Every one of them knew Bellows is a Woke Partisan Marxist … She never should have gotten the job yet EVERY SENATOR voted to confirm her …WHY ? … To keep the the Payoffs rolling in …
Pretty convenient you won’t release any corroborating info. Like interviews, attempts at interviews, other databases, etc.
Also fairly crappy of thos person who looked up this info. If they think they can hide from their employer they are sadly mistaken and should be fired.
Excellent reporting. Thank you!
With no cognitive abilities and with no understanding of the voting process( where to go, how to register, not understanding how to speak or read the english language) how do the illegals ultimately cast their ballots? The demorats don’t need people to harvest ballots, they just need the names of said people. Now you know why this commie tramp governor wanted them here in the first place. There will never be a republican governor nor a republican led legislature in this state again. Have fun I’m outa here…
This is such a Red Herring…6 non-citizens who voted illegally and have not yet been caught (and criminal activities that The Maine Wire is an accomplice to after the fact since they refuse to regulate the names to law enforcement). How many elections did these votes play a role in overturning the results of an election? You should be focusing on societal issues of consequence.
Where have the Republicans been?
Just NOW they’re calling for investigations?
Cowards are so afraid of being called racists they sit on their hands.
By the way, voter id is useless unless citizenship is proven first.
Here you go again. Baseless information to rile up the election deniers. I’m quite sure you all will say this election is stolen as well. Well get ready, because the Blue Wave is coming and all your denials and lies will be washed away. Trumpism, McCarthyism, and all the rest of the failed attempts to undermine democracy will be dumped into the trash bin of bad history.
