DOJ weighs criminal charges as New Jersey flags 6,600 noncitizens on voter rolls
TL;DR Summary
The Justice Department asked New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill to hand over the identities, nationalities and addresses of about 6,600 noncitizens on the state's voter rolls after a DMV software error; the DOJ says it is investigating federal election law violations and has floated prosecutions for those who voted, while Sherrill's office says there is no evidence any noncitizen ballots changed an election. Separately, the DOJ seeks access to New Jersey's unredacted voter file in a separate lawsuit, and an independent review is underway into the DMV error, with Republicans pushing for further action.
