A Software Glitch Registered 6,600 Noncitizens?

from Kayal and Company

We begin the hour with New Jersey’s voter-roll admission. Gov. Mikie Sherrill says a software error in the Motor Vehicle Commission system registers roughly 6,600 people who identify themselves as noncitizens between June 2023 and June 2024, and fewer than 400 later cast ballots. We press the timing, Sherrill’s decision to blame the prior Phil Murphy administration, the vendor’s denial that its system has a defect, and the Justice Department’s demand for the state’s full voter records. We read Sherrill’s statement at length and question why the issue stays hidden until federal scrutiny rises. The crew argues that officials who say the rolls are sound should provide records for inspection, while also separating mistaken automatic registration from deliberate action by the people affected. The segment keeps returning to the same core question: how large is the error, who knew about it, and what safeguards failed? The hour shifts to the Ben to the Shore Bike Tour, with Greg Stocker, Dawn, Nick and the crew pushing the team’s fundraising total above $33,000 while reviewing the 65-mile route, rest stops, gear, tracking and the Atlantic City finish. A listener tip then leads to a heated discussion about a swimsuit dispute at Roberts Pool in Collingswood and the standards families expect at a public pool.
