6,600 Names That Never Should Have Been on New Jersey's Voter Rolls
A software error at the Motor Vehicle Commission quietly registered thousands of noncitizens. Fewer than 400 voted. The DOJ is now asking for the whole database.
Wat we eerst wisten
- About 6,600 noncitizens were registered to vote in New Jersey in 2023 and 2024, and fewer than 400 cast ballots.
- The error originated in MVC software that processed noncitizen applicants as if they had answered yes to the citizenship question.
- The Justice Department has opened an investigation and requested the state's voter database.
Toen nog open
- The identity of the vendor whose software failed has not been publicly named in the available reporting.
- How the affected ballots break down by election type, and what each ballot affected.
- Whether the same vendor's software is in use in other states, and whether similar errors may exist there.
Waar we op zouden letten
- Whether New Jersey turns over its full voter database to DOJ, and on what terms.
- Whether the outside law firm's inquiry identifies individuals or processes responsible inside the MVC.
- Whether congressional hearings convene, and what the hearings demand from the vendor and the state.
