More than 6K non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey due to software issue: Sherrill

A software glitch in New Jersey’s Department of Motor Vehicles mistakenly registered over 6,000 non-citizens to vote from June 2023 to June 2024, according to Gov. Mikie Sherrill. Although the error affected thousands, only around 400 of these individuals actually cast a ballot. This issue underscores the critical need for robust voter registration systems to prevent such disenfranchisement and ensures that only eligible citizens participate in the democratic process, highlighting potential vulnerabilities in state-level administrative processes.
