Legislators are investigating an alleged software error that illegally registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote.
Legislators in the House Administration and Judiciary Committees are investigating a situation in New Jersey that allowed noncitizens to register to vote. The committee leaders have requested data from the software company regarding an alleged glitch in the system reported last month by New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill. It is estimated that approximately 6,600 noncitizens were registered to vote, and that 400 of them voted in elections.
The House Judiciary Committee stated that the federal legislators “are concerned about the application of federal law in New Jersey as it pertains to accurate voter registration, as well as the effect that New Jersey’s failure to identify and remove noncitizens from its voter rolls has on the civil liberties of American voters and their ability to elect their representatives.”
The company stated that there was not an error with the software, but rather an oversight by New Jersey state agencies. Information was recorded correctly, the company maintained, but certain system settings were not changed until June 2024, and the state did not remove the noncitizens from voter rolls.
As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…
- For Chairman Jordan and Chairman Steil to be prudent as they oversee their respective committees and collaborate on election integrity efforts.
- For the chairs and members of the Committees as they investigate the state illegally allowing noncitizens to vote in elections.
- For Governor Sherrill and any other New Jersey officials as they evaluate voter rolls to ensure only U.S. citizens are listed.
