6,600 Non-Citizens Mistakenly Added to NJ Voter Rolls
5 hours ago
- New Jersey accidentally added 6,600 non-citizens to voter rolls and about 400 cast improper ballots due to a software glitch in the Motor Vehicle Commission.
- Governor Mikie Sherrill announced the issue, emphasizing it was unintentional and occurred before her term, while criticizing the Trump administration for politicizing elections.
- The disclosure supports Trump's claims about election integrity but contradicts assertions of widespread fraud, as improper votes were a tiny fraction of total ballots cast.
- Sherrill noted the improper voters were from multiple parties, not just Democrats, rebutting claims of systemic fraud by undocumented immigrants.
- The White House cited the incident to advocate for the stalled SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration.
