#Trump is going to have a field day with this —
Roughly 400 #noncitizens voted in #NewJersey after about 6,600 residents were improperly registered to vote between June 2023 & June 2024 because of a software error at the #DMV, Gov #MikieSherrill announced Tuesday.
ALL of the people affected had disclosed that they were not citizens when registering for either a driver’s license or ID, but were nonetheless placed on the voter rolls in error.

In #Texas, #Democrats spent the day before the vote continuing to draw attention to the extraordinary lengths the #Republicans who run the #legislature were going to ensure it takes place. Democratic state Rep #NicoleCollier started it when she refused to sign what Democrats called the “permission slip” needed just to leave the #House chamber, a half-page form allowing Dept of *Public Safety* #police troopers to follow them.

In several #states, it asked detailed questions about the process to remove #noncitizens & other *ineligible* #voters from the rolls.
Grantham, the Fremont County clerk, said Small asked him if he would allow a third party to review whether his voting machines complied with #federal law. Grantham declined the request, he said, citing #state laws that restrict access to voting machines.

#Michigan AG #DanaNessel leveled #criminal charges Fri against 7 individuals who were allegedly involved in a flurry of DOUBLE VOTING in the primary #election in #StClairShores.
Nessel's office alleges that 4 people voted 2X - once in person on Election Day & once through an absentee ballot - & 3 assistant MUNICIPAL CLERKS ALLOWED the double voting to occur “significantly" breaking from rules. [I’d say]
