Summary
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that 6,600 ineligible voters were found on the state’s rolls due to a “serious software error”. This incident is part of a 25-year record of state reviews, software failures, and prosecutions that have found non-citizens on voter rolls. Experts say this establishes a recurring vulnerability. The problem is difficult to quantify due to the lack of a national standard for identifying and reporting errors.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
States are required to ensure their voter rolls are up to date and accurate, but there is no uniform federal requirement for reporting findings. New Jersey’s error adds to a record of state reviews and software failures that have found non-citizens on voter rolls. The lack of a national standard makes it impossible to determine the true extent of the problem. The issue is not new, with cases of non-citizens voting dating back to 2000. The fact that this problem persists is a reminder that election integrity is an ongoing concern.
