DOJ Accuses Sherrill of Hiding 35,000 Noncitizen Voter-List Cases as Data Deadline Nears

Summary
Harmeet Dhillon said Gov. Mikie Sherrill attacked Trump's election-integrity claims even though she already knew New Jersey was about to disclose more than 35,000 potential noncitizens on its voter rolls.
A July 16 Trump speech had singled out New Jersey and other Democratic-led states, and DHS data released alongside it identified the 35,000 potential noncitizen registrations in the state.
Tuesday is the deadline in Dhillon's five-business-day demand for New Jersey voter data; she said cooperative states would get DOJ help, while those that refuse could be sued.
Sherrill has signaled she will not comply, calling the federal push a political weaponization while her administration says it is running an independent investigation into the motor-voter problem.
Pennsylvania, New York and other states have also resisted DOJ voter-data requests, setting up a broader federal-state clash over election oversight and privacy limits.
