A software glitch at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission led to approximately 6,600 noncitizens being registered to vote during the Murphy administration, and roughly 400 of those individuals cast ballots. Governor Mikie Sherrill announced the error, which occurred in 2023.
The issue stemmed from a flaw in the state’s voter registration system that incorrectly flagged ineligible applicants as eligible. According to Governor Sherrill, around 6,600 noncitizens were registered before the error was identified and corrected. Of those, approximately 400 actually voted.
While the precise cause of the glitch remains under investigation, officials have stated it was a technical issue within the Motor Vehicle Commission’s system. No evidence of intentional wrongdoing has been presented. The governor's office has not indicated whether any legal repercussions will be pursued for those who illegally cast ballots, nor what steps are being taken to prevent similar errors in the future.
The Blaze highlighted that Governor Sherrill is a Democrat, framing the announcement as coming from her directly. No right-leaning sources were present in this cluster of coverage; left and lean-left outlets reported the same core facts regarding the error and number of affected voters.
