New Jersey voter-roll glitch registers thousands; hundreds vote

TL;DR Summary
New Jersey officials say a software glitch added about 6,600 non-citizens to the voter rolls between 2023 and 2024, with fewer than 400 of them actually casting ballots. The administration has ordered the mistaken registrations removed and the vendor replaced after the glitch was fixed in 2024. Democrats and voting-rights groups say there’s no evidence elections were swayed, while Trump and White House allies use the incident to push the SAVE America Act, which would require citizenship proof to vote and is opposed by Democrats who warn it could disenfranchise legitimate voters.
