Sen. Cory Booker said he still opposes the SAVE Act, even after New Jersey found about 6,600 noncitizens who were mistakenly allowed to vote. He argued that the SAVE Act, which would require voters to show ID, would not have stopped this clerical error. New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announced the state removed those names from the voter roll. Booker insists the focus should be on protecting voting systems in other ways.
