Dem Governor Admits Foreign Nationals Illegally Registered To Vote In NJ Election Scandal [WATCH]

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said Tuesday that a software error in the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission system resulted in thousands of non-citizens being registered to vote between June 2023 and June 2024, prompting an investigation and efforts to remove those registrations from the voter rolls, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

Sherrill disclosed the issue in a post on X, saying she learned of what she described as a “serious software error” that affected approximately 6,600 people who had indicated they were not U.S. citizens while applying for driver’s licenses or identification cards.

According to the governor, the problem occurred before she took office and involved applicants who answered “no” when asked on a keypad whether they were U.S. citizens.

Despite those responses, the system registered them to vote.

“Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office,” Sherrill wrote.

She added, “These individuals answered “no” when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers’ licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.”

Sherrill also said the state’s preliminary review found that fewer than 400 of the individuals who were newly registered because of the error ultimately cast ballots.

“Our preliminary analysis shows fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted,” she wrote.

“They were registered as Democrats, Republicans, and Unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state.”

The governor said she immediately directed her administration to investigate the matter after learning about the issue and ordered the removal of those who had been mistakenly added to the voter rolls during the affected period.

“Upon learning this information, I immediately ordered my chief counsel to launch an investigation to get to the bottom of what occurred. I also ordered the removal of any residents from our voter rolls who were erroneously added between June 2023 and June 2024.”

Sherrill also announced changes involving the state’s motor vehicle system vendor.

“The new MVC Administrator that I appointed has begun the process of replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system.”

While discussing the issue, the governor criticized President Donald Trump and rejected his past claims regarding election integrity.

“As the Trump Administration tries to weaponize elections for political gain, I am ensuring we protect our elections. Let me be clear: Donald Trump has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity.”

She continued:

“For more than ten years, he has worked to undermine Americans’ faith in our elections by spreading lies about legitimate election results, attempting to overturn a free and fair election, encouraging an attack on our Capitol when he couldn’t accept the will of the voters, and defunding election security at the federal level.”

The disclosure has renewed debate over election security and voter registration safeguards.

Republicans have argued that the incident demonstrates the need for stronger verification measures to prevent non-citizens from being added to voter rolls.

The issue has also drawn attention to proposals such as the SAVE America Act, which supporters say would strengthen citizenship verification requirements during voter registration.

Sherrill maintained that the state is taking corrective action by investigating the software failure, replacing the vendor responsible for the system, and removing erroneous registrations.

Her office’s preliminary analysis indicated that the affected individuals included Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters and were located throughout New Jersey.

The investigation into the software error remains ongoing as state officials continue reviewing the voter registrations created during the June 2023 through June 2024 period.
