New Jersey investigates noncitizen voter registrations amid political blame game
New Jersey is grappling with the discovery that approximately 6,600 noncitizens were registered to vote, with around 400 ballots cast since 2023. Governor Mikie Sherrill attributed the issue to a software 'glitch' involving a third-party vendor, IDEMIA, which denies wrongdoing and claims it followed state instructions. Federal authorities, including the Justice Department and Homeland Security, have demanded records from New Jersey and other states. The incident has sparked debate over election integrity, state data-sharing policies, and the role of automated voter registration systems. While officials disagree on whether the error was technical or policy-driven, the event has become a flashpoint in broader national political discourse.
