noncitizen voters

New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill reported 6,600 ineligible voters found on state rolls due to a software error, adding to a 25-year pattern of noncitizen voters in U.S. elections. Experts highlight recurring vulnerabilities in voter roll accuracy, with no federal standard for reporting such errors, while President Donald Trump warned of digital threats to democracy.

Trump officials reported finding 250,000 noncitizens on voter rolls in four states, but the states cannot verify the source of these claims. The allegations have raised concerns about potential impacts on the midterm elections.

House Republicans are demanding explanations from New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill regarding a software failure that registered approximately 6,600 noncitizens to vote between June 2023 and June 2024. The group questions whether the issue was a glitch or intentional and seeks responses on voter roll maintenance and support for voter-ID legislation.

The federal government is investigating potential noncitizen voters in Macomb County, Michigan, following a county clerk's discovery of 15 possible cases. The Department of Homeland Security sent a subpoena for voter data, which the county says it will cooperate with, as noncitizen voting has become a political issue for Republicans.

The Trump administration will appeal a federal judge’s dismissal of its lawsuit against Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, who refused to provide an unredacted copy of Arizona’s voter registration database. Judge Susan Brnovich, appointed by President Donald Trump, ruled that the federal government has no right to the database and barred the case from being refiled with a different legal theory.
