Summary
New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill said she would support a voter ID law in the state, but rejects President Donald Trump’s federal SAVE Act as “voter suppression.” Sherrill’s office stated that she is open to considering proposals to strengthen voter ID rules. This comes after a Motor Vehicle Commission system error improperly registered roughly 6,600 people who were not U.S. citizens. New Jersey Assembly Minority Leader John DiMaio said Sherrill’s comments mark a “significant shift” after years of Republicans advocating for voter ID.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Mikie Sherrill’s office released a statement on voter ID, while the governor herself criticized President Trump’s SAVE Act. The Motor Vehicle Commission system error led to the improper registration of non-U.S. citizens. New Jersey Assembly Minority Leader John DiMaio responded to Sherrill’s comments, saying that Democrats have been blocking voter ID proposals. The discussion around voter ID has become a familiar routine, with each side repeating their arguments. The error in the Motor Vehicle Commission system has become a focal point in the debate.
