New Jersey’s Damning Admission on Illegal Voting

National Review argues that New Jersey’s disclosure of non-citizens appearing on voter rolls demonstrates a meaningful election-administration failure, while acknowledging that it does not substantiate broader claims of widespread illegal voting. The issue matters because it has intensified political disputes over voter-roll safeguards and federal access to state election records.

The reported problem stemmed from a software error at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission in 2023 and 2024, which improperly registered about 6,600 non-citizens. Fewer than 400 are reported to have cast ballots; state officials say the error has been corrected, while the US Department of Justice has sought further information.
