NJ voter-roll glitch tests the Sherrill–Murphy relationship
TL;DR Summary
Gov.-elect Mikie Sherrill said a software error left about 6,600 non-citizens registered to vote in 2023–24, with roughly 400 of them casting ballots; she blamed her predecessor, former Gov. Phil Murphy, for a lack of transparency, while Murphy has not commented. Democrats say the issue is fixed and not evidence of widespread fraud, Republicans push for voter-ID measures, and the dispute underscores lingering tensions between Sherrill and Murphy as election debates intensify.
