50-Plus New Jersey Noncitizens Seek Voter Roll Removal After RNC Probe

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 8

Summary

  • More than 50 noncitizens in Atlantic County alone filed to be removed from New Jersey voter rolls, saying they had been registered unknowingly and feared it could hurt their naturalization cases.
  • County letters and cancellation forms said many believed the registrations came through the DMV; most had no voting record, but some had cast ballots in elections in 2000, 2001, 2005 and 2008.
  • RNC and the New Jersey GOP said requests to all 21 counties uncovered hundreds of noncitizen registrants statewide, with many of those identified registered as Democrats.
  • The findings feed a broader RNC election-integrity push spanning 17 states and a pending Supreme Court case over ballots cast by mail on Election Day but counted later.
