Nineteen House Republicans have sent a letter to New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill regarding the registration of approximately 6,600 individuals who self-identified as noncitizens and cast 400 ballots, attributed to a software failure. The letter, released on July 25, 2026, questions the nature of the software issue and expresses concerns about election security. The group, which includes Representatives Jefferson Van Drew and Chris Smith, is seeking answers about the state's voter roll maintenance practices and the specific counties where the ballots were cast. Governor Sherrill had previously announced the software error, stating that it led to the registration of individuals who indicated they were not U.S. citizens when applying for driver's licenses and identification cards. The Republicans have requested a response to their inquiries by August 21, 2026.
