Fewer than 400 of0:19them actually voted.0:28The scale of the error is significant.0:30Nearly 6,600 people registered despite0:33being non-citizens. State officials are0:36now scrambling to understand how this0:37happened and to remove every name that0:39should never have been on the rolls.0:40Here's how the glitch worked. When0:42non-citizens applied for driver's0:44licenses and answered no to the0:45citizenship question, the software from0:47vendor IDEMIA simply ignored their0:48answer and processed the registration0:50anyway. IDEMIA is a major identity0:52security company that also runs TSA0:54PreCheck and works with multiple federal0:55agencies. Governor Sherrill has now0:57ordered the vendor replaced. The glitch0:59occurred on former Governor Phil1:01Murphy's watch. Sherrill, who took1:03office in 2025, says her team discovered1:06the flaw just last week and immediately1:08ordered all erroneous registrations1:10scrubbed from the rolls.1:12The Justice Department has now opened an1:14investigation into the registration1:15error. This comes after Homeland1:17Security Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen had1:19recently asked New Jersey and three1:21other states to check their voter rolls.1:23Governor Sherrill had previously1:24declined to provide voter data to the1:26federal government. Those improperly1:28registered were not limited to any1:30single party. They included Democrats,1:32Republicans, and unaffiliated voters1:34across the state. The president has also1:36commented on the error, and with a1:38federal investigation now underway, the1:40fallout from this software failure is1:42far from over.Lees het artikelTijdlijn van het verhaalHeyDexDe korte video ↗
