Save Jersey editor Matt Rooney joins Election Protection host Josh Findlay for an in-depth discussion of New Jersey’s noncitizen voter registration controversy. They examine how thousands of noncitizens were mistakenly added to the state’s voter rolls through the Motor Vehicle Commission, the flaws in the automatic voter registration process that allowed it to happen, and bipartisan legislation introduced in May to ensure noncitizens are no longer prompted to register when obtaining driver’s licenses.
The conversation also explores whether additional ineligible registrants could still remain on New Jersey’s voter rolls, why state officials have resisted broader efforts to audit and clean the voter registration database, and the transparency questions surrounding the controversy. Rooney and Findlay conclude by discussing Congressman Jeff Van Drew’s call for answers from Governor Mikie Sherrill regarding which elections may have been affected and what steps the state will take to restore public confidence in New Jersey’s election system.
