New Jersey Fixes Voting Glitch | Newark News

New Jersey is cleaning up a massive voter registration error caused by a software glitch at the Motor Vehicle Commission that mistakenly enrolled over 4,500 noncitizens — with another 2,000 under review. The tech vendor, IDEMIA, claims it’s not responsible for verifying eligibility, shifting blame to the state’s Division of Elections. In response, Governor Sherrill signed a sweeping new voting rights law honoring John R. Lewis, which bans voter intimidation and deception, expands language access, and mandates state pre-clearance — while also refusing to hand over voter data to the DOJ, asserting state control. The law also ensures courts prioritize voter rights, aiming to rebuild trust in the electoral system. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
