New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill, once a fierce critic of federal voter ID laws, now says she’s open to implementing one in her state — a surprising pivot fueled by a major glitch that accidentally registered over 6,000 noncitizens on the voter rolls before she took office. Blaming a motor vehicle system error, Sherrill’s administration is scrambling to fix the flaw while lawmakers push the Justice Department to investigate compliance with federal citizenship verification rules. The DOJ, which insists election officials — not third-party vendors — should handle verification, has faced setbacks, including a federal judge tossing their lawsuit for access to unredacted voter data. As New Jersey grapples with accountability and integrity, the nation watches to see how this political and legal tug-of-war unfolds.
