New Jersey to remove 6,600 noncitizens mistakenly registered to vote after software error
Gov. Mikie Sherrill says fewer than 400 of those improperly registered cast ballots as the White House renews its push for proof-of-citizenship voting legislation.
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that a software error in the state's Motor Vehicle Commission system mistakenly registered nearly 6,600 noncitizens to vote between June 2023 and June 2024. Fewer than 400 of these individuals cast ballots. Governor Sherrill has ordered the removal of these registrations, launched an investigation, and directed the MVC to replace the responsible software vendor, stating, "I want to underscore how seriously I take this matter."
"I want to underscore how seriously I take this matter."
The White House cited this error to renew its call for Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, advocating for proof-of-citizenship voting legislation. However, Governor Sherrill rejected this argument, stating that former President Trump "has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity." Opponents of the SAVE America Act argue that noncitizen voting is rare and that the bill's requirements could disenfranchise eligible citizens.
