Just hours after New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherril blamed a software glitch for thousands of non-citizens being registered to vote, the software company involved issued a statement disputing the claim.
IDEMIA, the software vendor for the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, issued a statement saying it was the responsibility of the state government, which is completely controlled by Democrats, to verify eligibility to vote.
“IDEMIA works with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, and has for more than 40 years, to support the process through which eligible individuals may indicate their interest in registering to vote when applying for or renewing a driver’s license or state-issued identification card. IDEMIA’s role is to transmit information through the motor vehicle system,” IDEMIA said in a statement to Just the News.
“The voter registration information is transmitted to the New Jersey Department of State, Division of Elections, which is ultimately responsible for verifying eligibility to vote. Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections.”
Sherrill blamed the software company on Tuesday, Just the News reported, saying the glitch allowed 6,660 non-citizens to register to vote. She also said that as many as 400 of those non-citizens has in fact voted in a recent election, though she claimed those who voted “were registered as Democrats, Republicans and Unaffiliated voters and were scattered across the state.” It is unclear for which candidate the non-citizens voted.
“These individuals answered ‘no’ when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers’ licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway,” Sherrill said.
Sherrill also said the error occurred under the previous administration of Gov. Phil Murphy, also a Democrat.

Accountability has NEVER been a character trait of the liberal politician.
Anyone who’s against America and her people, her laws and the One true God are our enemies and are treasonous people.
It is amazing, the ability always to find a scape goat when caught lying, and cheating it was not me, I know nothing about nothing like Hilary and Susan Rice, two innocents.
So basically, if the registration was transmitted and received … IDEMIA did their job.
Typical BS… get in front of the story with a lie and the public backlash will be minimal.
The muck will continue to get deeper and deeper as the Democrats try to do their usual blame on someone else. (Muck can be interchanged with the other word at any time– just trying to be nice)
Wahsington State does the same thing of registering you to vote when getting or renewing your dirvers license. If you move to a new county and update your address they change your voting jurisdiction all with out asking for your consent. Now do you think they have different rules for imigrants? No. They register them too. You are also required to show proof of insurance. So the imigrants obtain insurance long enough to get the license and never make a payment after that so they drive without insurance and when you are involved in the accident they cause you are screwed because they are not covered. I know that one first hand too. And of course WA is a state that has not turned over their voter rolls and now you know why.
OH NO, a Demonrat woman wouldn’t be LYING?!!!
A Democrat failing to take responsibility AND passing the buck! I’m shocked!
I wonder what other states this software company works with…perhaps they should make a statement so they can get ahead of other blue states (like Oregon) coming out and blaming the company. The company should sue New Jersey and I want an investigation..although according to Judge Napolitano it won’t go anywhere.
Everyone knows this story of it being a computer “glitch” is a fat lie. I have NEVER heard the truth coming from a radical liberal’s mouth in the past 40 years. All they know is lying and cheating. It is their mantra.
Let’s kick the can down the road and blame the software, shall we? The Dems are very good at not accepting any blame. They also cheat to win so any other questions? They will be judged.
Lemme ask ya. WHO ya gonna believe?! The ‘fix’ is IN!
