The vendor Sherrill initially blamed, IDEMIA, is now publicly shifting responsibility back onto the state officials who were supposed to verify voter eligibility.
IDEMIA isn't taking Sherrill's accusation lying down. “IDEMIA works with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, and has for more than 40 years, to support the process through which eligible individuals may indicate their interest in registering to vote when applying for or renewing a driver’s license or state-issued identification card,” the company said in a statement. “IDEMIA’s role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system. The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote. Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections.”
In other words, the state's own election officials — and not a rogue algorithm — manually approved more than 6,600 non-citizens to vote.
This is what Sherrill is trying to hide.
Sherrill says New Jersey will phase out the IDEMIA software regardless of who's ultimately at fault, which means she intends to scapegoat them regardless.
"Democrats and their media allies have repeatedly said it is impossible for noncitizens to register to vote, let alone cast a ballot," White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said. "Time and again, they have been proven wrong. As President Trump has said, there is nothing more important than the integrity of our elections. And this latest incident underscores the absolute necessity of the SAVE America Act."
