## Resource

New Jersey Republicans are pushing to scrap automatic voter registration after a major software glitch at the Motor Vehicle Commission registered over 6,000 noncitizens — nearly 400 of whom actually voted. The proposed bill would halt automatic registration tied to driver’s licenses and IDs, a system introduced in 2018 to boost turnout but now seen as too risky. Republicans also demand stricter voter ID laws and regular audits to safeguard elections. Governor Sherrill’s office confirmed the glitch was fixed in June but only recently discovered the issue, and an independent probe is underway — though some GOP lawmakers want federal oversight. This controversy has reignited debate over how voter rolls are managed, with lawmakers watching closely as the bill moves forward.
