New Jersey is known as the Garden State, and honestly, if you get out of Newark or any of the other cities into the western and northern parts of the state, you really can see why. But New Jersey’s main garden crop these days seems to be questionable voter registrations. We have now learned that not only were noncitizens on the voter rolls in New Jersey, but some appear to actually have voted.
Noncitizens in a key blue state were on the voter rolls for years — and some even voted in prior elections, according to documents obtained via public records request.
The New Jersey Republican Party (NJGOP) and the Republican National Committee (RNC) requested voter rolls from all 21 counties in the Garden State and found multiple instances of noncitizens seeking naturalization asking to be removed from the rolls, claiming they were unknowingly registered to vote. Most were registered as Democrats.
Noncitizens cannot vote in state or federal elections, and the candidates for citizenship worried that being on the rolls would disqualify them.
Most were registered as Democrats. You don’t say.
