The U.S. Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division has opened an investigation after New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, admitted that thousands oof non-citizens were registered to vote in the state due to an “error.” Hundreds of these non-citizens were further confirmed to have voted in federal elections.
Sherrill publicly acknowledged that a software error at the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission resulted in the erroneous registration of approximately 6,600 non-citizens on the state’s voter rolls. The registrations occurred between June 2023 and June 2024.
Individuals applying for driver’s licenses or state identification cards correctly indicated through a keypad prompt that they were not U.S. citizens, but the system still added them to the voter rolls, the governor said.
Sherrill stated that a little less than 400 of these non-citizens cast ballots in elections since 2023. The individuals who voted were registered across party affiliations, including Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters, and were located in various parts of the state.
The governor attributed the issue to a software glitch involving the vendor IDEMIA during the period of automatic voter registration tied to motor vehicle transactions. New Jersey is among the states that use such systems, where applicants bear responsibility for accurately responding to eligibility questions.
