New Jersey's motor vehicle system mistakenly registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote
New Jersey's governor admitted the state accidentally registered about 6,600 noncitizens to vote, and this is being framed as proof of weak election security that favors Democrats.
- New Jersey's DMV system registered 6,600 noncitizens to vote, and about 400 of them actually cast ballots.
- The vendor, IDEMIA, says it wasn't a software glitch — the state's election office was responsible for checking who's eligible.
- The story ties into Trump's claims about China meddling in the 2020 election, though he downplayed going after China directly.
- Republicans argue this shows why the SAVE Act, which would tighten voter registration checks, needs to pass.
- Trump's approval among Republicans still sits above 80%, higher than Obama or Bush at the same point in a second term.
Outlook: Expect more pressure to pass the SAVE Act and hand voter rolls to the DOJ, while the China election-meddling angle stays a bargaining chip.
