‘Got to Be Kidding Me’: GOP Officials Pan Trump’s Claims of Shocking New Election Threats
Gottheimer says the same vendor used by federal agencies caused New Jersey’s voter registration error, raising questions about audits and national security.
- Rep. Josh Gottheimer told CNN on Wednesday that IDEMIA, the company behind New Jersey's voter registration software glitch, also operates facial recognition and TSA PreCheck systems across federal agencies, raising national security questions.
- Democratic Governor Mikie Sherrill announced Tuesday that a software error at the state Motor Vehicle Commission accidentally added about 6,600 non-citizens to voter rolls, with 400 casting improper ballots in recent elections.
- Gottheimer questioned whether "our national security safe with them at the helm" designing federal software and wrote to the General Services Administration and Office of Management and Budget seeking audits of IDEMIA and investigating other potential glitches.
- While praising Governor Sherrill for immediately addressing the error, Gottheimer stressed the critical importance of preventing future technology glitches in election administration.
- The glitch highlights broader concerns about the DHS citizenship database SAVE, which has a record of overstating non-citizen registrations; Georgia election officials found that of 2,549 DHS-flagged registrants, only about 20 had ever cast ballots.
