House Republicans are probing New Jersey’s government after Governor Mikie Sherrill admitted to more than 6,000 noncitizens being added to the state’s voter rolls in 2023 and 2024. The GOP has been hammering New Jersey Democrats ever since Sherrill announced that 6,600 noncitizens were mistakenly added to the state’s voter rolls during that two-year period, before she was in office, as election integrity sits as a key focal point ahead of the November midterms.
Investigation Details
Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and Committee on House Administration Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., wrote to New Jersey Lt. Governor Dale Caldwell on Monday for more information on the state’s compliance with federal laws surrounding elections. According to Governor Sherrill, around 400 of these individuals successfully voted in elections since 2023.
The committees are now seeking any and all information related to New Jersey’s compliance with the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (HAVA), the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (NVRA), and the Civil Rights Act of 1960 (CRA). They’re also looking for any documents pertaining to how New Jersey vets its voter rolls for eligibility as well as evidence of a lack of cooperation with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) in its aim to verify the citizenship status of each state’s voters.
