19名众议院共和党人要求新泽西州州长米奇·谢里尔作出解释：为何约6600名自称非公民的人员完成了选民登记并投出了400张选票，而该州将此归因于软件故障。
该团体在周五下午发布的一封信中向谢里尔提出了质询。
“尽管有相关说法，但据报道，2023年6月至2024年6月期间，软件故障将他们的信息传输到了选民登记系统。这并非轻微的文书失误，”该团体在信中写道。“这是我们选举体系最基本保障的灾难性崩溃：确保只有符合资格的美国公民才能登记并获准投票。你如何确定这只是软件故障，而非恶意行为？”
信中进一步强调了共和党议员的担忧，即议员们在未通过立法强化选民身份验证、实施联邦标准以证明公民身份的情况下，正面临选举安全风险。

该信件的签署者包括新泽西州三名共和党国会众议员中的两位：众议员杰斐逊·范·德鲁（R-N.J.）和众议员克里斯·史密斯（R-N.J.）。
值得注意的是，第三位共和党众议员汤姆·基恩 Jr.（R-N.J.）并未加入此次联署。
这一系统故障最初是在谢里尔周二发布的一则公告中被公众知晓的。
“上周我得知，新泽西州机动车系统中存在严重的软件错误，导致约6600人在2023年6月至2024年6月期间——也就是我就职的近三年前——被登记为选民，尽管这些人表明自己并非美国公民，”谢里尔说道。

“这些人在申请驾照和身份证时，在键盘上回答了‘不，我不是美国公民’，但并非出于他们自身的过错，系统还是将他们登记为选民了。”
共和党人在信中列出了一系列他们认为州政府应当回答的问题，包括该州通常如何开展选民名册维护的测试、投出无效选票的具体县份，以及谢里尔政府是否会支持选民身份证立法。

“多年来，共和党人一直在敲响警钟，指出选民登记系统存在漏洞、选民名册维护不足，以及非公民可能被登记并获准参加全国选举的风险——这在联邦法律下是非法的，”信中写道。
该团体要求谢里尔在2026年8月21日之前对这些问题作出回应。

Nineteen House Republicans are demanding answers from New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill on how approximately 6,600 self-identified noncitizens were registered to vote and cast 400 ballots in what the state described as a software failure.
The group put the question to Sherrill in a letter published on Friday afternoon.
“Despite those answers, a software failure reportedly transmitted their information for voter registration between June 2023 and June 2024. This was not a minor clerical discrepancy,” the group wrote in the letter. “It was a catastrophic breakdown of the most basic safeguard in our election system: ensuring that only eligible American citizens are registered and permitted to vote. How do you know this was just a software glitch and not a nefarious act?”
The letter continues to underscore Republican-led concerns that lawmakers are inviting election security liabilities without passing legislation to shore up voter identification and implement federal standards to ensure proof of citizenship.

Its signatories included Rep. Jefferson Van Drew, R-N.J., and Rep. Chris Smith, R-N.J., two of New Jersey’s three Republican congressmen.
Notably, the third, Rep. Tom Kean Jr., R-N.J., did not join.
The system failure originally came to the public’s attention when Sherrill disclosed the issue in an announcement on Tuesday.
“Last week I learned that a serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office,” Sherrill said.

“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.”
Republicans in their letter listed a series of questions they said the state should answer, including what testing it normally conducts for voter roll maintenance, the specific counties where the improper ballots were cast, and whether Sherrill’s administration would support voter-ID legislation.

“Republicans have been sounding the alarm for years about weaknesses in voter-registration systems, inadequate voter-roll maintenance, and the danger that noncitizens may be registered and permitted to vote in national elections, which is illegal under federal law,” the letter stated.
The group has requested a response to its questions no later than Aug. 21, 2026.
