New Jersey Gov. Sherrill Says 6,600 Non-U.S. Citizens Were Registered by Error
State officials said the flawed system added 6,600 noncitizens to voter rolls, and fewer than 400 of them cast ballots, prompting an investigation.
- On Tuesday, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that a software error at the state Motor Vehicle Commission improperly registered about 6,600 non-citizens to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.
- The glitch, which occurred under former Governor Phil Murphy's administration, stemmed from a system managed by vendor IDEMIA that registered individuals despite their indicating they were not U.S. citizens.
- State officials confirmed fewer than 400 of the affected individuals cast ballots; Sherrill ordered an investigation, removal of erroneous registrations, and immediate vendor replacement.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin alleged that New Jersey voter rolls contained as many as 35,152 potential non-citizens, though state officials have not substantiated this figure.
- The administration is phasing out the current vendor next year to prevent future errors, while the incident fuels federal arguments for passage of the SAVE America Act.
