NJ governor says 6K non-citizens were registered to vote, 400 voted thanks to ‘software error’

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill revealed that around 6,600 non-citizens were mistakenly registered to vote due to a software error in the state's voter registration system, with about 400 casting ballots. This issue, which began in June 2023, wasn't corrected until a year later, raising concerns about the integrity of the electoral process. The situation underscores the need for more rigorous checks and balances in voter registration systems to prevent such errors and maintain public trust in the electoral system.
