And are those 400 illegal voters going to be arrested? According to the Governor the only “glitch” was a question that the “system” counted as eligible even though the applicant driver checked the “not eligible voter” box. What a coincidence that the only “glitch” was that question. 🤦🏻♂️
Identification will not fix a system error. These people did not try to register to vote illegally. They said they were not citizens. The same issue could inadvertently happen after showing more proof of citizenship. The logical conclusion from this example is that more QA is needed on the software.

Company Disputes New Jersey Claim About Serious Software Error That Added Noncitizens to Voter Roll
Don't get too excited, folks Just the facts....less than 400 of the 6,600 or 0.06% of the wrongly registered, non citizens actually voted in 2024. And that group included people registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters that they were scattered around different parts of the state. This is hardly 'major' and had no effect on any outcomes. Almost 6.7 million votes were cast in NJ in the general election in 2024. Even YOU can do the math, can't you?
