NJ voting glitch weaponized to push unverified noncitizen fraud claims
TL;DR Summary
Trump and allies seized on a New Jersey software error that briefly registered about 6,600 noncitizens (roughly 400 of whom voted) to push claims of widespread fraud, but DHS’s larger figure of 278,000 noncitizens on rolls across four states remains unverified and methodologically unclear; experts say the numbers involve a tiny fraction of voters and do not prove broad fraud.
