Maryland Man Robert Glenn Johnson Indicted for Falsifying Voter Registration in New Mexico, Arrested October 26 in Milwaukee
Albuquerque, Bernalillo County, New Mexico — The U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Mexico announced that Robert Glenn Johnson, 63, of Annapolis, Maryland, has been indicted by a federal grand jury for fraudulently submitting a voter registration application in New Mexico. Johnson was arrested in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on Monday, October 26, 2026.
According to court documents, in September 2022 Johnson allegedly submitted a voter registration application to the Bernalillo County Clerk's Office Bureau of Elections in Albuquerque falsely claiming to be a New Mexico resident. "New Mexico's elections are for New Mexico voters, and we intend to keep it that way," said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Ryan Ellison. "Residency isn't a matter of convenience when it comes to voting. We are aggressively investigating election fraud and prosecuting those who seek to undermine the integrity of our elections." Justin A. Garris, Special Agent in Charge of the FBI's Albuquerque Field Office, said: "The FBI is committed to keeping our communities safe; not only from violent offenders, but from fraudsters as well. If you commit a crime in New Mexico, justice will find you."
Johnson made his initial appearance before a U.S. Magistrate Judge in the Eastern District of Wisconsin and was released on bond pending further proceedings in the District of New Mexico. The FBI's Albuquerque Field Office investigated the case, and federal prosecutors commended the Bernalillo County Clerk's Office Bureau of Elections for assisting the investigation. Assistant U.S. Attorneys Sean J. Sullivan and Emil J. Kiehne are prosecuting the case. An indictment is merely an allegation, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
