Summary
Sept. 15 is the deadline the RNC gave New Jersey’s secretary of state and officials in six counties after sending National Voter Registration Act violation notices seeking voter-roll records.
6,600 improper registrations disclosed by Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s administration stemmed from a Motor Vehicle Commission software error between June 2023 and June 2024, with about 400 affected people found to have cast ballots.
5,100 registrations tied to the error were removed and roughly 1,450 shifted to rejected status pending county review, while officials were told to resolve remaining cases before the November election.
The dispute has widened into a fight over access to election data, with Sherrill accusing the Trump administration of pushing federal control over state voter rolls and calling its information requests a "phishing expedition."
