Fani Willis reports fraudulent New York voter registration in her name

Fani Willis says someone fraudulently registered to vote in New York City using her name, listing her as a Republican at Trump Tower. The Fulton County district attorney describes the application as part of a wider pattern of harassment, and the incident has renewed attention on election security and the threats she says she faces.

Willis says the application had an incorrect date of birth, party affiliation and forged signature, and gave the Fulton County Courthouse as her mailing address. New York election officials cancelled the registration and told her no votes were cast under it; they are assessing whether criminal charges may follow. Willis was removed from the Georgia case against Donald Trump in December 2024, and the case was later dropped by the prosecutor who replaced her.
