Software error improperly registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote, N.J. gov. says

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill reported that a software error at the state motor vehicles department improperly registered approximately 6,600 noncitizens to vote. According to a preliminary analysis, fewer than 400 of these individuals actually cast ballots in elections since 2023. The incident highlights a technical failure in the registration process that accidentally placed non-U.S. citizens on the voter rolls, though the actual number of votes cast remains relatively low compared to total registrations.
