DOJ Probes NJ Voter Registration Glitch | Newark News

Six thousand six hundred noncitizens were mistakenly registered to vote in New Jersey due to a software glitch, with around four hundred casting ballots — sparking a federal probe by the DOJ’s voting rights unit.

New Jersey’s governor refuses to comply, citing the error’s origin in a Motor Vehicle Commission system flaw. This episode underscores a broader DOJ trend under Trump-era policies, intensifying scrutiny of state voter registration systems nationwide.

Fed Holds Rates as Inflation Cooldown | Newark News
