NJ Voter Roll Dispute: IDEMIA Says Data Transfer, Not Software, Caused the Issue
TL;DR Summary
IDEMIA disputes Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s claim of a serious software error causing thousands of noncitizens to appear on New Jersey’s voter rolls, saying the fault lies with state data transfers from the Motor Vehicle Commission to the Division of Elections. The state had planned to end its contract with the vendor before the scandal surfaced, and an independent investigation is underway. About 6,600 individuals indicated noncitizen status in 2023–24, with roughly 400 casting ballots; Republicans demand a broader, subpoena-powered review and federal data requests have been issued.
