New Jersey placed about 5,100 voter registrations into deleted status and shifted 1,450 more to rejected status after Gov. Mikie Sherrill released findings on noncitizens improperly added through the MVC’s motor-voter system.
Just under 400 wrongfully registered people cast ballots, according to the report, which tied the problem to a software error that added some applicants even when they indicated they were not citizens.
Sherrill said county officials must keep reviewing flagged names before midterm early voting begins, while framing the cleanup as fixing an error left by the previous Trenton administration.
The release also sharpened a dispute with Washington: Sherrill accused Trump and Republicans of politicizing the issue, while a source denied DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s claim that New Jersey had agreed to cooperate with DHS.
Republicans said the findings leave unanswered questions about whether 6,600 is the full scope of the problem and pressed for broader transparency and possible federal coordination.
