The New Jersey GOP’s election-integrity task force claims it has found “hundreds” of non-citizens listed on the Garden State’s voter rolls, the party announced in a Monday press release.
The announcement doesn’t specify how many registered voters the task force suspects of improperly being on the list, but it does target the Motor Vehicle Commission’s registration process, which the task force believes allows non-citizens to be registered because of insufficient safeguards.
“This may be one of the most significant election-integrity issues in New Jersey history,” state GOP Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon said. “Not only do county-level records show that hundreds of non-citizens were placed on New Jersey’s voter rolls, but additional documentation indicates multiple cases of non-citizens casting ballots in multiple elections.”
More than 6.6 million people are registered to vote in New Jersey, according to state data.
The state GOP launched the election-integrity task force last month in conjunction with the Republican National Committee.
Alicia D’Alessandro, a spokesperson for the Division of Elections, said all allegations of voter fraud are investigated.
“Any allegation of election fraud that comes to the Division’s attention is referred to the appropriate authorities for review and investigation,” D’Alessandro told the New Jersey Globe. “The Division remains committed to administering elections fairly, accurately, and in compliance with all relevant statutes and regulations.”
D’Alessandro said the Division of Elections has not heard from the state GOP about confirming any given registered voter’s status.
