DMV Glitch Registers Thousands of Non-Citizens to Vote in NJ!
A shocking software error at the New Jersey DMV accidentally registered over 6,600 non-citizens to vote. Get the full story on this voting system malfunction.
A significant software error at the New Jersey Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has led to the mistaken registration of approximately 6,600 non-citizens to vote. This concerning revelation, announced by Governor Mikie Sherrill, highlights a systemic flaw that occurred between June 2023 and June 2024.
The glitch, which stemmed from a software issue in 2023, inadvertently included non-citizens in the state's voter registration system. While the number of individuals incorrectly registered is substantial, a preliminary analysis by the Governor's office indicates that fewer than 400 of these registered non-citizens actually cast a ballot.
This incident has raised questions about the robustness of voter registration processes and the reliance on automated systems. Authorities are now tasked with addressing the root cause of the software error and implementing measures to prevent similar occurrences in the future, ensuring the integrity of the electoral system in New Jersey.
