新泽西州州长米基·舍里尔周二宣布，约6,600名在办理驾驶证时被标注为非公民的人因州机动车委员会系统软件错误，在2023年至2024年间被错误登记为选民 [1]。
初步分析显示，这些非公民中少于400人实际投票 [1]。舍里尔表示对这一问题感到"震惊"，指出"漠视失职导致了这一切发生" [1]。
州长已下令删除该时期所有被错误添加的选民登记，并宣布更换系统供应商并启动调查 [1]。这些被错误登记的非公民涵盖民主党、共和党和独立人士 [1]。
据报告，新泽西州共有约6.9百万人注册投票，2024年大选期间有超过400万人投票 [1]。国土安全部此前报告称，在全国范围内约有278,000名非公民注册投票 [1]。
New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill announced Tuesday that approximately 6,600 noncitizens were mistakenly registered as voters between 2023 and 2024 following a software malfunction in the state's motor vehicle commission system. [1] The error affected individuals who had been designated as noncitizens when obtaining driver's licenses. [1]
Preliminary analysis indicates that fewer than 400 of these individuals actually cast ballots. [1] Governor Sherrill stated, "I am appalled by the reckless failures that allowed this to happen." [1]
The noncitizens who were erroneously registered included Democrats, Republicans, and independents. [1] In response to the incident, the governor ordered the removal of all voter registrations improperly added during this period, announced a change in system vendors, and initiated an investigation. [1]
The error occurred within a state where approximately 6.9 million people are registered to vote, with more than 4 million participating in the 2024 presidential election. [1] The Department of Homeland Security has separately reported that approximately 278,000 noncitizens were registered to vote nationwide. [1]
