New Jersey removes 6,600 noncitizens from voter rolls after software error

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill has ordered the removal of approximately 6,600 noncitizens from voter rolls following a software glitch that incorrectly registered them. The error, which occurred between June 2023 and June 2024, led to the registration of individuals who had indicated they were not U.S. citizens when applying for driver's licenses. While fewer than 400 of these individuals actually voted, the incident has drawn criticism from Republicans and has been framed by the White House as evidence for the need for proof of citizenship legislation.
