Michael examines the collision between two stories: President Trump’s sweeping claims about noncitizen voting and New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill’s acknowledgment that a software error added thousands of ineligible residents to the voter rolls, with roughly 400 reportedly casting ballots. Does one documented failure overturn the broader evidence that noncitizen voting is rare—or expose a vulnerability officials have underestimated? Michael breaks down the numbers, the political fallout, and why New Jersey may become a defining election-integrity argument heading into the midterms.
