Governor Sherrill rejects DOJ demand for names of noncitizens on voter rolls
The New Jersey Governor missed a Department of Justice deadline to provide identities of 6,600 noncitizens on registration lists. Sherrill argued that federal privacy and election laws prevent the state from sharing these records. The dispute follows a software error at the Motor Vehicles Commission that mistakenly added thousands of noncitizens. While the state identified the error, Sherrill maintains that protecting voter confidentiality is a legal requirement. Critics expressed concern over the integrity of the registration process because some individuals already cast ballots. The Trump administration requested the data to investigate potential violations of federal law.
