The surge stems from outdated DMV data from the “motor voter” program, which typically flags only 20 names. Many affected are naturalized citizens who registered when they got their licenses, now facing confusion and frustration as they struggle to reach election officials. While state officials insist this is essential to ensure only citizens vote and isn’t overly burdensome, the scale and source of the error have sparked questions about accuracy and fairness. The Division of Elections is working to resolve the issue, but the incident underscores the challenges of maintaining precise voter rolls.
