NJ Senate GOP Leader: Suspend MotoVote Program
New Jersey State Senate Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco (R-Morris, Passaic) released the following statement regarding today’s announcement by Governor Sherrill that approximately 6,600 non-citizens were registered to vote and approximately 400 non-citizens voted.
The news that approximately 6,600 non-citizens were identified on New Jersey's voter rolls following a Motor Vehicle Commission (MVC) software error raises serious concerns that demand a transparent and independent investigation. The fact that New Jersey has been allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain a driver’s license since 2020 requires the investigation be extended at least from the onset of this law, if not longer.
This situation underscores the consequences of policy decisions that Republicans warned about from the beginning. Over six years ago, Trenton Democrats chose to allow undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses despite our opposition, and they placed voter registration in the hands of the MVC—an agency with a long history of administrative failures.
While New Jersey's elections include safeguards, errors like this undermine public confidence and provide those who seek to cast doubt on our election system with more ammunition. That is why it is essential that we determine exactly how this happened, and what steps are being taken to ensure it cannot happen again.
At the very least, New Jersey should immediately suspend its automatic voter registration program until the investigation is complete and state officials publicly announce their findings, corrective actions, and next steps. It is also time for New Jersey to enact a voter identification requirement. Polling has consistently shown that voter ID enjoys broad bipartisan support because it is a commonsense measure that can strengthen confidence in our elections while protecting the integrity of the voting process.
"We will await the results of the investigation, but New Jersey residents deserve assurance that our voter registration system is accurate, secure, and worthy of their trust."
Yet Another Iconic Employer Leaves New Jersey
From the Garden State Initiative:
New Jersey just lost another iconic employer.
After 86 years in Newark—the birthplace of M&Ms—Mars Wrigley is relocating its headquarters to Chicago.The move will result in 307 layoffs, bringing the total number of jobs impacted by WARN notices in New Jersey this year to nearly 9,700, according to NJBIA. It follows recent announcements from companies including Samsung Electronics and ExxonMobil.The trend is hard to ignore. Last week, CNBC ranked New Jersey 50th in the nation for business friendliness.New Jersey cannot afford to keep losing employers, jobs, and investment. It's time for leaders in Trenton to focus on policies that encourage businesses to grow, invest, and create jobs—not give them reasons to leave.Read more about the departure from NJ Business & Industry Association (NJBIA): https://njbia.org/sweet-sorrow-mars-wrigley-leaving.../
State Senator: Suspend NJ MotoVoter Reg NOW!
New Jersey State Senator Declan O’Scanlon (R-Monmouth) is calling on the Sherrill Administration to suspend voter registrations at the NJMVC and for investigators to look beyond 2023 to check the last ten years of registrations after more than 6,000 non-citizens were automatically registered to vote when applying for a driver’s license in 2023 and 2024.
New Jersey Globe reported that hundreds of these non-citizens voted in elections.
“Despite assurances from the Murphy Administration and Trenton Democrats that this could never happen, it happened, and it’s worse than anyone expected. If we know that more than 6,000 non-citizens were improperly registered to vote over two years, why on earth would we stop the investigation there? This system has been in place for years. We should be reviewing every registration processed through the MVC over the last decade. If the system was broken in 2023 and 2024, New Jerseyans deserve to know whether it was broken in any other year up until present day. Until that thorough investigation is complete, the MVC should suspend all voter registrations.
“It is a shocking and outrageous revelation that it’s not only possible, but actually happened, that our Motor Vehicle Commission software AUTOMATICALLY registered people to vote who are constitutionally ineligible to register or vote! Republicans have raised concerns about the MVC systems for years. Each time we were reassured that this ‘could never happen.’ Ooops!
“What’s equally troubling is that these are only the cases where non-citizens correctly indicated that they were not citizens and were still registered anyway. That should alarm everyone. If the system failed when applicants answered honestly, what safeguards exist to prevent non-citizens from mistakenly checking the wrong box or knowingly claiming citizenship and being registered to vote.
“And let’s discuss the victims here, other than in the integrity of our voter rolls. Those folks who were automatically registered, many of them not aware of the laws and rules of our system, received sample ballots….inviting them to vote and to commit a federal crime! Essentially the government telling them they are eligible. The ramifications are mind boggling.
“When Trenton Democrats made it law for non-citizens to obtain driver’s licenses, Republicans warned that this very problem could occur. There is no better time than now to enact voter identification requirements to provide one more layer of protection to ensure only eligible voters are casting ballots.”
'One Of The Darkest Days In NJ Election History'
From NJ State Assemblyman Paul Kanitra:
Today, Governor Sherrill admitted knowing about illegals registered to vote “due to a software error” and only divulged it when caught red handed by the Department of Homeland Security. One of the darkest days in this state’s election history whether the initial failures happened during her tenure or not.
This totally ruins any credibility as she tries to minimize the size and scope of the massive failure. At this point, public trust is completely broken and the only option is to let the federal government see the voter rolls so they can determine just how deep this goes. I will, however congratulate the Governor on her inspiring commitment to still try and take a swipe at President Trump during one of this state’s biggest embarrassments. Only she could trash the President for having “zero credibility” while she is literally admitting to major election integrity issues!
