New Jersey’s governor has disclosed that a software malfunction was responsible for allowing roughly 400 noncitizens to vote during the 2023 and 2024 election cycles.
The revelation raises questions about election system reliability and the safeguards in place to prevent ineligible voters from casting ballots. A representative from the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation & Research, David Becker, spoke about the issue and its implications for election administration.
The glitch appears to have gone undetected across multiple election cycles before being identified and reported by state officials.
