New Jersey software glitch adds thousands to voter rolls, governor says
TL;DR
Gov. Mikie Sherrill said a Motor Vehicles Commission software error from 2023–2024 added about 6,000 non-citizens to New Jersey’s voter rolls, with fewer than 400 casting ballots since 2023. The state is removing the erroneous registrations and investigating, though there’s no current evidence that any election outcome was affected. The announcement comes amid federal scrutiny of non-citizen voting and broader partisan debates on the issue.
