ICYMI: RSC Exposes What New Jersey Hoped You Wouldn't Notice, Demands Answers on Noncitizen Voter Registrations
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Following the revelation that New Jersey registered roughly 6,600 noncitizens to vote, Breitbart highlighted a letter from Republican Study Committee (RSC) members demanding that New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill explain how her state failed to safeguard their elections.
RSC Member Rep. Jeff Van Drew (NJ-02) led the effort, sending a letter outlining serious concerns about New Jersey’s voter registration process. Members asked whether any election was decided by a margin smaller than the number of illegal ballots, if the state would support proof of citizenship for voter registration, and if they will comply with the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security for an investigation.
After years of sounding the alarms on vulnerabilities in American elections, House Republicans have acted by advancing the SAVE America Act and components of the bill four times. The bill would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote and government-issued photo identification when casting a federal ballot.

Highlights of the article are below:
“The lawmakers, led by Republican Study Committee member Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), sent Sherrill a letter Friday seeking written responses to 12 questions about the failure, including whether any affected race was decided by a margin smaller than the number of unlawfully cast ballots in that jurisdiction.”
“The lawmakers raised the possibility that the failure extended beyond a single software problem because New Jersey’s vendor, IDEMIA, has publicly stated that its responsibility was limited to transmitting information collected through the motor-vehicle system. According to the company’s account cited in the letter, the New Jersey Department of State’s Division of Elections was ultimately responsible for verifying voter eligibility and adjudicating information submitted by IDEMIA.”
“Among the other questions is whether New Jersey has determined that any affected race was decided by a margin smaller than the number of unlawfully cast ballots in the relevant jurisdiction. The lawmakers also want confirmation that all affected registrations have been removed or otherwise placed into an ineligible status, the dates on which those actions were completed, and information about notices provided to individuals who may have been led by the state’s error to believe they were legally permitted to vote.”
“The letter was also signed by Reps. Randy Fine (R-FL), Tony Wied (R-WI), Abraham Hamadeh (R-AZ), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Ben Cline (R-VA), Clay Fuller (R-GA), Christopher Smith (R-NJ), Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Mike Lawler (R-NY), Pete Stauber (R-MN), Nicholas Langworthy (R-NY), Eli Crane (R-AZ), Max Miller (R-OH), Tom Tiffany (R-WI), Tim Moore (R-NC), Dan Meuser (R-PA), and Stephanie Bice (R-OK).”
“The House Republicans requested complete written responses from Sherrill no later than August 21, 2026.”
