Van Drew Puts Subpoenas on the Table as NJ Noncitizen Voter Flap Grows

Rep. Jeff Van Drew, chair of a House Judiciary subcommittee, says he is “absolutely exploring” subpoenas and will hold fall hearings on New Jersey’s noncitizen voter-registration debacle, depending on how much information Gov. Mikie Sherrill releases. About 6,600 noncitizens were added to NJ’s voter rolls from 2023–2024, with roughly 400 casting ballots; Sherrill says none of those ballots affected elections. The row involves a 2018 motor-voter law and blame between the state and vendor IDEMIA. The Trump administration has pressed for data by a tight deadline, while Sherrill resists sharing personally identifying information; Democrats favor an independent review before taking further action.
