New Jersey Gov. Sherrill Says 6,600 Non-U.S. Citizens Were Registered by Error
Gov. Mikie Sherrill ordered an investigation and removal of the mistaken registrations after a software flaw affected 6,600 people, with fewer than 400 casting ballots.
- On Tuesday, July 21, Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that a New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission software error registered around 6,600 non-U.S. citizens to vote between 2023 and 2024.
- These registrations occurred between June 2023 and June 2024 while Democratic Governor Phil Murphy was in office; applicants correctly answered 'no' to citizenship on keypads, yet the system registered them anyway.
- Preliminary analysis shows fewer than 400 affected individuals actually cast ballots; Sherrill ordered those erroneously added names removed from New Jersey voter rolls immediately.
- Chief Administrator Rosalie Johnson is replacing the vendor responsible for the system, while Sherrill launched an investigation into what she called 'reckless failures' under the previous administration.
- Amid ongoing assertions from President Donald Trump that non-citizen voting is rampant, Sherrill rejected these claims, stating Trump has "zero credibility" on election integrity.
