❓ WHAT HAPPENED: A public records request revealed that noncitizens in New Jersey were unknowingly registered to vote, with some casting ballots in past elections. Documents from Atlantic County show that noncitizens are requesting removal from the voter rolls, citing concerns about their potential disqualification from naturalization. 📺 DETAIL: Records from Atlantic County show dozens of noncitizens seeking removal from voter registration lists, often stating they were unknowingly registered through the state’s motor vehicle system, mostly as Democrats, and feared the issue could jeopardize their naturalization applications. While most reported having no voting history, county records confirmed that at least two noncitizens—or false impersonators—voted in multiple local, primary, and general elections before their registrations were canceled. The Republican National Committee (RNC) says it has identified hundreds of noncitizen registrants statewide and is seeking additional information on voter roll maintenance practices nationwide as part of its broader election integrity efforts. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “You want a democracy that’s secure and elections that are free and safe and that people can depend upon, and people have full confidence in.” – RNC Chairman Joe Gruters 🎯 IMPACT: The discovery raises concerns over election integrity and the accuracy of voter rolls, particularly in states with automatic voter registration processes. Critics warn that such lapses undermine public confidence in elections and highlight the need for stricter oversight and maintenance of voter registration systems. Notably, the Democrat officials are fiercely opposed to voter ID legislation such as the SAVE America Act, despite overwhelming public support, including among Democrat voters. This is likely because illegal voting by noncitizens tends to favor the Democratic Party, and in some cases sway elections decisively. 📈 DATA: In Atlantic County alone, over 50 noncitizens submitted documents attesting they were unknowingly registered to vote. Nationwide, the RNC has identified hundreds of similar cases. |
