Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said Tuesday that over 6,000 non-citizens were mistakenly added to her state\u2019s voter rolls due to a \u201cserious software error.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sherrill<\/span> said in a statement<\/span> that last week, she discovered a software error in the state\u2019s Motor Vehicles Commission (MVC) had \u201cled 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 She added that the individuals had \u201canswered \u2018no\u2019 when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers\u2019 licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway.\u201d (RELATED: Judge Shuts Down Trump Admin Database Used To Remove Non-Citizens From Voter Rolls)<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis happened under the previous administration and, upon learning this information, I immediately ordered my chief counsel to launch an investigation to get to the bottom of what occurred,\u201d Sherrill asserted. \u201cI also ordered the removal of any residents from our voter rolls who were erroneously added between June 2023 and June 2024. The new MVC Administrator that I appointed has begun the process of replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sherrill also noted that her administration\u2019s \u201cpreliminary analysis\u201d of the matter suggests that \u201cfewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered for the first time because of the error voted.\u201d The individuals \u201cwere registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state,\u201d per her statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to underscore how seriously I take this matter,\u201d Sherrill emphasized. \u201cAs a military veteran who swore an oath to defend our Constitution, and as a former federal prosecutor, I believe the integrity of our elections is fundamental to our democracy.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis failure didn\u2019t occur under my watch, but accountability starts now,\u201d she continued. \u201cI am taking action to prevent anything like it from occurring in the future and make sure those responsible are held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

When reached for comment, Sherrill\u2019s office referred the Daily Caller News Foundation to her statement from Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Sherrill\u2019s announcement comes just days after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin<\/span> claimed that DHS had identified thousands of non-citizens on voter rolls in California, Nevada, New Jersey and Pennsylvania, Politico first reported<\/span> on Thursday.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cA preliminary @DHSgov review found over 250,000 non-citizens registered to vote in four states: California, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Nevada,\u201d Mullin wrote<\/span> in a Friday X post. \u201cThis shouldn\u2019t be a red or blue state issue: ONLY Americans should elect American leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve put these governors on notice,\u201d Mullin added. \u201cStates must work with us to ensure free, fair, and honest elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
