NJ: Sherill refuses DOJ demand for data on noncitizen voters, citing privacy laws

Source: Politico

“New Jersey will not cooperate with a federal demand for data on the approximately 6,600 noncitizens accidentally added to the state’s voter rolls in 2023 and 2024, Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s administration announced on Tuesday. … The decision escalates what has become a nationally watched dispute between Sherrill and the Trump administration, one that has exacerbated long-fraught debates over voter fraud and election integrity. [Assistant Attorney General Harmeet] Dhillon said the Department of Justice will continue to pursue the voter records ‘through all legal means,’ though it’s not immediately clear what that might entail.” (07/28/26)
