Thousands of non-citizens were registered to vote in New Jersey due to a software issue, with similar concerns identified in California, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported. In New Jersey, the DHS identified 35,152 non-citizens on voter rolls. California had 190,832 potential cases, Nevada 15,903, and Pennsylvania 14,576.
According to a preliminary analysis cited by Gov. Mikie Sherrill, fewer than 400 of the registered non-citizens in New Jersey actually cast a ballot. The Department of Homeland Security's findings were part of a review of voter registration materials. This disclosure comes amidst broader discussions about election integrity. Previous reviews, such as one analyzed by The Associated Press, have not substantiated claims of widespread voter fraud or foreign manipulation of U.S. elections by countries like China.
