New Jersey's Voter Roll Fiasco: A Cautionary Tale of Inattention and Partisanship The recent revelation that thousands of non citizens were inadvertently registered to vote in New Jersey due to a software error in the state's Motor Vehicle System is a stark reminder of the perils of bureaucratic complacency and partisan posturing.
Governor Mikie Sherrill's swift action in ordering the removal of these ineligible voters is commendable, but it also highlights the deep seated problems that have long plagued the state's electoral machinery.
This incident bears an unsettling resemblance to previous voter registration errors and irregularities across the country.
