Software Company Claps Back At Democrat Governor Over Illegal Voter Software ‘Glitch’ [WATCH]

A technology company identified by New Jersey officials in connection with the erroneous registration of thousands of non-citizens to vote is disputing claims that a software malfunction caused the problem, saying its system processed information according to specifications provided by the state, as reported by Trending Politics News.

The dispute follows a press conference Tuesday in which New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill announced that approximately 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote between June 2023 and June 2024 through the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission system.

According to Sherrill, the registrations occurred when individuals applied for driver’s licenses or identification cards and indicated that they were not U.S. citizens.

The governor said a software error nevertheless resulted in those individuals being registered 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 said.

“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 said a preliminary review found that fewer than 400 of those individuals cast ballots.

She announced that the affected registrations would be removed from the voter rolls and said the state had retained an outside organization to investigate the circumstances surrounding the registrations.

The governor also stated that the Motor Vehicle Commission had begun replacing the vendor associated with the registration system.

The vendor, French technology company IDEMIA, responded by rejecting the characterization that its software experienced a glitch or improperly altered voter information.

“The 6,600 records submitted to the [Motor Vehicle Commission] and Division of Elections contained correct information according to the design specifications as set out by the state,” an IDEMIA spokesperson said.

“All 6,600 individuals indicated ‘Yes’ to wanting to register to vote and ‘NO’ to being a US Citizen.”

The company added, “At no point was a noncitizen ever marked as a citizen in the database.”

IDEMIA said its role is limited to collecting information provided by applicants and transmitting that information through the system.

“IDEMIA does not control or manage voter enrollment, our role is simply to collect self-reported citizenship and interest data,” the company said.

The statement also questioned how the registrations were ultimately approved, saying, “This leads to more questions – if the Division of Elections had missing information which is required to register in the State of New Jersey, did the Division of Elections approve these individuals be added to the Voter Rolls?”

According to the company, the records transmitted to the Division of Elections also lacked certain information, including party affiliation.

The conflicting accounts have prompted federal scrutiny.

Following the governor’s announcement, the U.S. Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division opened a formal investigation into the matter.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon, who leads the division, announced the investigation in a public statement.

“Today, NJ Gov. Sherrill stated that 400 non-citizens voted in elections. This is unacceptable and illegal! The Civil Rights Division at the Justice Department is investigating this unlawful dilution of American votes,” Dhillon said.

As of publication, New Jersey officials and IDEMIA continued to disagree over whether the registrations resulted from a software malfunction or from the way the state’s voter registration process handled information submitted through the Motor Vehicle Commission.

The Department of Justice investigation is expected to examine the circumstances surrounding the registrations and determine whether federal election laws were violated.
