Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, said this stemmed from a \u201cserious\u201d software glitch at the state Motor Vehicle Commission that began in 2023,which was before she took office. She said that even though these people indicated while applying for a driver\u2019s license that they weren\u2019t citizens, they were registered as voters \u201cthrough no fault of their own.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            The governor made the surprise disclosure just five days after President Donald Trump\u2019s address to the nation where he claimed there are far more non-citizens on the rolls than previously known.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            Sherrill\u2019s announcement validates some of Trump\u2019s assertions and gives him a potent new datapoint in his push for further scrutiny of state voter rolls. It will also surely be touted by his allies who have pushed for more aggressive citizenship checks and other measures to prevent undocumented immigrants from voting in US elections.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=6774\">Cyclosporiasis outbreak in the US, by the numbers<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            But Sherrill\u2019s explanation also underscored what election officials have said for years: when non-citizens get onto the voter rolls, it\u2019s usually accidental or unintentional.  And illegal voting by non-citizen doesn\u2019t happen on a massive scale, as Trump claims. The 400 improper voters cast ballots in elections where millions of eligible New Jersey voters voted.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            These 400 improper voters were registered as Democrats, Republicans and independents, Sherrill said, further rebutting Trump\u2019s past claims about systemic pro-Democratvoter fraud by undocumented immigrants. They were \u201cscattered across the state,\u201d she said.\n    <\/p>\n<p>\n            \u201cAs the Trump Administration tries to weaponize elections for political gain, I am ensuring we protect our elections\u2026 The difference is simple: when we find a problem, we don\u2019t hide it, deny it, or invent conspiracies. We investigate it, we fix it, and we tell the public,\u201d Sherrill posted to X.\n    <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/relocationtimess.com\/?p=6770\">Appeals court rejects Peter Navarro\u2019s push to overturn his conviction over January 6 subpoena<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n            She said she learned about the improper registrations \u201clast week.\u201d\n    <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 6,600 non-citizens were accidentally added to New Jersey\u2019s voter rolls and nearly 400 cast improper ballots in recent elections, the state\u2019s governor announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6777,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6778","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
