## Resource

A major voter registration glitch in New Jersey, triggered by a software error that lasted a full year, has ignited national political firestorms. With fears of noncitizens on the rolls and potential election integrity risks, the Department of Justice launched an investigation while Republicans weaponize the scandal to push for nationwide voter ID laws. Governor Mikie Sherrill vows accountability, bringing in outside experts—including a former state attorney general—while Democrats turn the spotlight on GOP lawmakers like Jeff Van Drew. Complicating matters further, some DOJ lawyers involved have ties to election skeptics, deepening partisan tensions ahead of key elections. The fallout is far from over—and it’s already reshaping the national conversation on voting systems. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
