The error stemmed from a malfunction in the state&#8217;s Motor Vehicle System, which mistakenly registered noncitizens who had applied for driver\u2019s licenses or IDs, even though they indicated they were not U.S. citizens.The residents were registered nearly three years before Sherrill took office, and although some had cast ballots in previous elections, fewer than 400 are believed to have voted consequently of this mistake. Sherrill emphasized that the registration of noncitizens was unintentional and initiated an investigation and removal process. The incident highlights ongoing political debates over election security, with Republicans raising concerns about illegal voting and foreign interference, while Democrats defend voting access measures. Sherrill&#8217;s statement came shortly after former President Trump expressed concerns about election integrity in a televised address.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gov. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/mikie-sherrill\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"19767\">Mikie Sherrill<\/a> (D-NJ) announced on Tuesday that her administration removed about 6,600 residents who identified as noncitizens from <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/new-jersey\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1065\">New Jersey\u2019s<\/a> voter rolls after the non-citizen residents were added due to a software error.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLast week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey\u2019s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office,\u201d Sherrill said in a statement.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/4657284\/sherrill-remove-6000-noncitizens-voter-rolls-dmv-error\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Sherrill to remove 6,000 noncitizens from voter rolls after DMV error<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/4648980\/schumer-sit-out-maine-senate-race-until-after-platner-replacement-chosen\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Schumer to sit out of Maine Senate race until after Platner\u2019s replacement is chosen<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/4648833\/dsa-new-platform-replace-president-supreme-court\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>DSA\u2019s new platform seeks to \u2018replace\u2019 presidency and Supreme Court, nix Electoral College<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to the governor, even though the residents answered \u201cno\u201d when asked if they were U.S. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/citizenship\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"1453\">citizens<\/a>, the software incorrectly registered them for the driver\u2019s licenses and identification cards they had applied for.
