Van Drew Explores Subpoenas Over 6,600 Noncitizens on New Jersey Voter Rolls

Summary
Jeff Van Drew said he is “absolutely exploring” subpoenas as Republicans push for a New Jersey legislative investigation into 6,600 noncitizens mistakenly added to voter rolls.
Tuesday is the Trump administration’s deadline for Gov. Mikie Sherrill to hand over names, addresses and other records, but she has signaled resistance to sharing personal data with federal officials.
About 400 of the noncitizens later cast ballots, according to Sherrill, though she said none appears to have changed an election; blame remains disputed between state officials and vendor IDEMIA.
The registration error traces to New Jersey’s 2018 motor-voter law, which was supposed to screen out noncitizens during license applications but failed during 2023 and 2024.
