U.S. House Committee Subpoenas NJ SOS, Probes 6.6k Illegal Voter Registrations
Republicans say 6,600 noncitizens were added to the rolls and state responses to earlier records requests were inadequate.
- On Wednesday, House Republican leaders subpoenaed Acting Secretary of State Shirley Emehelu, demanding records regarding the improper registration of approximately 6,600 noncitizens on state voter rolls between 2023 and 2024.
- A software error at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission registered noncitizens to vote even after they answered "no" to citizenship questions; the glitch occurred between 2023 and 2024 but remained uncorrected until Gov. Mikie Sherrill's administration disclosed it in July 2026.
- Following the discovery, officials deleted about 5,100 registrations and flagged 1,450 for review, with roughly 340 individuals registered through the glitch having cast ballots; Republicans argue the state's response has been "inadequate."
- House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and House Administration Committee Chair Bryan Steil set a November 16 deadline for document production, while Sherrill dismissed the subpoena as "political theater" and stated she remains "focused on governing effectively."
- The subpoena arrives thirteen days before the November 3 midterm elections, which will determine control of Congress, as Republicans use the incident to press for the SAVE America Act, a comprehensive election security bill that previously passed the House.
