Nineteen House Republicans are pressing Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) to explain how approximately 6,600 noncitizens were registered through the state’s motor-vehicle system and how roughly 400 of them were able to cast ballots.
The lawmakers, led by Republican Study Committee member Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), sent Sherrill a letter Friday seeking written responses to 12 questions about the failure, including whether any affected race was decided by a margin smaller than the number of unlawfully cast ballots in that jurisdiction.
“This right here is exactly why we should require ID to vote in our elections. We need answers about how this happened, why it was not caught sooner, and whether more ineligible registrations remain,” Van Drew told Breitbart News.
The letter, obtained by Breitbart News, cites information released by Sherrill’s administration showing that the affected individuals selected “no” when asked whether they were United States citizens while applying for driver’s licenses or identification cards. Their information was nevertheless transmitted for voter registration between June 2023 and June 2024.
