19 House Republicans Press Sherrill Over 6,600 Noncitizen Voters and 400 Ballots

Summary
Nineteen House Republicans demanded answers from New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill in a Friday letter after the state said about 6,600 self-identified noncitizens were registered to vote and 400 ballots were cast.
The challenge centers on a motor vehicle software failure that, Sherrill said, wrongly transmitted voter registrations between June 2023 and June 2024 even though applicants had answered "no" to U.S. citizenship questions.
Republicans called the lapse a "catastrophic breakdown" rather than a minor error and asked how the state ruled out foul play, which counties received the improper ballots, and what voter-roll testing was in place.
The letter also pressed Sherrill on whether her administration would back voter-ID and proof-of-citizenship measures, tying the New Jersey case to broader GOP election-security concerns; lawmakers requested a response by Aug. 21, 2026.
