House Republicans are probing New Jersey's government after Gov.

Governor Dale Caldwell on Monday for more information on the state's compliance with federal laws surrounding elections.HOUSE REPUBLICANS CONFRONT NJ GOVERNOR OVER 6,600 NONCITIZENS REGISTERED TO VOTE IN ALLEGED SOFTWARE FAILURE"During a July 21, 2026, press conference, New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that approximately 6,600 noncitizens were registered to vote between June 2023 and June 2024 because the state Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) sent the information of noncitizens who accurately marked they were not citizens to the Department of State’s Division of Elections and the noncitizens were then registered to vote," Jordan and Steil wrote."According to Governor Sherrill, around 400 of these individuals successfully voted in elections since 2023. We write to express our serious concerns with New Jersey apparently adding thousands of noncitizens to its voter rolls and to request information from the New Jersey Department of State about its compliance with applicable federal voting laws."Sherrill attributed the mistake to a "serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle system."GOP ERUPTS OVER 6,600 NONCITIZEN VOTERS FOUND IN BLUE STATE AS SCANDAL DEEPENS: ‘WORSE THAN ANYONE EXPECTED’But it's unclear how many noncitizens have been able to register to vote beyond those two years, thanks to New Jersey motor voter laws that make it easy for people to go through that process during a visit to their local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) location.The revelations appear to undercut Democrats' assurances that noncitizens are not voting in U.S.
