United States: Senegalese Senata Coulibaly at the center of an electoral violations case

Senata Coulibaly, a 63-year-old permanent resident born in Senegal, is accused of voting illegally in U.S. elections since her registration in 2016. She allegedly certified that she was an American citizen when registering, raising questions about the integrity of the electoral process ahead of the midterm elections. Federal authorities announced her arrest on September 17, 2026, as she reportedly voted in the 2018, 2020, and 2024 elections.
