New Jersey Confirms 6,600 Non-Citizen Voter Registrations Due to Software Glitch
- New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill disclosed that a software glitch caused the state to mistakenly register 6,600 non-citizens, with approximately 400 voting in recent elections.
- The Justice Department is demanding detailed voter registration data from New Jersey as part of its ongoing litigation regarding the issue.
- Critics argue that while the incident highlights the potential for non-citizen voting, it does not support claims of widespread electoral fraud, as the number of problematic votes is minimal compared to the state's total voter population.
