New Jersey's MVC Software Bug Registered 6,600 Noncitizens To Vote
Fewer than 400 of the noncitizens cast ballots before Sherrill's office caught the year-long glitch and pulled their registrations.
- MVC's system ignored noncitizens' own "no" answer to the citizenship question on ID forms.
- The glitch ran June 2023 to June 2024, three years before Sherrill took office.
- New MVC administrator is replacing the vendor that built the flawed system.
Why it matters: A motor-vehicle bureaucracy that ignored its own citizenship answers for a year now polices its own fix.
