BOSTON — A Canadian foreign national living in Saugus has been busted by the feds — charged with voting in four straight U.S. presidential elections despite never being an American citizen, prosecutors said Tuesday.

Then he went and voted. And voted. And voted.

The Saugus foreign national has been a Canadian citizen the entire time.

Manhertz became a U.S. lawful permanent resident on Feb. 25, 1987 — and held that green-card status for nearly four decades while allegedly stacking up American ballots. Per Saugus voting records cited in the charging documents, he hit the polls in 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024.

He didn't get caught at the polls.

He didn't get caught in 2019, either — when he allegedly filed an I-90 form with Homeland Security to replace his green card. That form is the one where you correctly identify yourself as a "Lawful Permanent Resident," not a citizen. Manhertz checked the right box.

He got caught when federal agents showed up at his Saugus door on May 11, 2026 — with a printout of his voting history in hand.

Manhertz allegedly fessed up. He confirmed he signed the 2016 voter registration. When agents read off the list of presidential elections he'd cast a ballot in, he allegedly confirmed it was accurate — then volunteered he'd actually been voting since 2008.

That's five presidential elections — 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020, and 2024 — by his own apparent admission to law enforcement.

The feds slapped Manhertz with:

He made his first appearance Tuesday in Boston federal court.
