Nineteen House Republicans have sent a letter to New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill seeking clarification on the registration of approximately 6,600 self-identified noncitizens who reportedly cast 400 ballots. The issue arose from a software failure in the state's Motor Vehicle System, which allowed these individuals to be registered between June 2023 and June 2024. The letter, published on July 25, 2026, questions the nature of the software error and expresses concerns about election security and the need for voter identification legislation. Governor Sherrill had previously disclosed the software issue, stating that the individuals had indicated they were not U.S. citizens when applying for driver's licenses but were registered due to the system's error. The Republicans have requested answers to their questions by August 21, 2026.
