WASHINGTON — Approximately 400 non-citizens cast ballots illegally in New Jersey elections since 2023 after more than 6,000 immigrants were wrongly added to the Garden State’s voter rolls, Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill admitted Tuesday.
Despite the mortifying disclosure, Sherrill managed to use her press conference about the fumble to take a swipe at President Trump.
When asked about the possibility of Trump using New Jersey as an example of vulnerable elections, she declared: “I think that Donald Trump has done more to undermine free elections in this country than certainly anyone in my lifetime, including [Russian President] Vladimir Putin.”
She added that Trump “has zero credibility on the issue of election integrity.”
In a prime-time address to the nation last week, Trump claimed nearly 250,000 non-citizens were registered to vote in California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, with up to 35,152 wrongly enrolled in the Garden State.
Sherrill confirmed Tuesday she had received a letter from the Department of Homeland Security quoting that same figure and said that “we have asked them for any evidence of this, where they got that number, who this is. We’ve received nothing back yet.”
