民主党议员告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他们认同新泽西州的选民登记失误必须被追责，但表示这不足以证明存在大范围选举欺诈的说法。
新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔周二表示，该州机动车管理系统出现“严重软件故障”，导致约6600名非公民被错误登记投票。而提供身份相关安全服务的公司否认存在任何不当行为。
“在新泽西州，我们绝对必须对所发生的事件追究责任，”新泽西州民主党参议员安迪·金说道。
“这简直太糟糕了。他们遇到的计算机问题引发了大麻烦。我们今后必须努力解决这个问题。”

金表示，各州应该获得工具来确保选民名册准确，而非依赖国土安全部的调查结果。该部门在初步审查中发现，新泽西州、加利福尼亚州、内华达州和宾夕法尼亚州境内约有25万名潜在非公民可能已登记投票。
“最关键的是确保各州拥有所需的资源，”金补充道。“我不相信我们要将其与国土安全部的数据库合并的想法。这正是许多问题产生的根源，但我们所有人都应该致力于维护选举诚信。”
谢里尔表示，失误被发现后，她立即下令展开调查，州选举部门正在将不符合资格的选民从名册中移除。她称，其中仅有不到400名被错误登记的选民投了票。
金表示，改进选举技术并保留纸质投票记录应当成为优先事项。

“我一直在推动这项工作。我们为什么不支持它呢？”他说道。
夏威夷州民主党参议员布莱恩·沙茨在谈及州和县级官员时表示，他们必须确保“只有符合资格的选民才能投票”。
此番言论发表之际，众议院民主党人大多反对一项将国会股票交易禁令与联邦选民身份证法案捆绑在一起的立法提案，而新泽西州的选民登记失误重新引发了相关辩论。
当被问及美国是否需要在全国范围内实施投票公民身份证明要求时，纽约州民主党众议员里奇·托雷斯表示，唐纳德·特朗普总统所称的大范围选举欺诈是“他的想象产物”。
“这没有任何证据支持，我不会为他的虚假叙事背书，”他说道。
尽管相关责任人应当“被追究责任”，佐治亚州民主党参议员拉斐尔·沃诺克表示，非公民投票“仍然极为罕见”。
“我一直都说，人们在投票前必须证明自己的身份，我们已经建立了相应制度来确保这一点，这也是非公民投票仍然极为罕见的原因，”他说道。
弗吉尼亚州民主党参议员蒂姆·凯恩表示，此次失误“不可接受”，并指出弗吉尼亚州的选民身份证要求和选举审计从未发现过非公民投票问题。
“我们弗吉尼亚州确实有身份证要求，”他说道。“我们也会对选举进行审计，从未发现存在非公民投票问题。”
威斯康星州民主党参议员塔米·鲍德温称赞谢里尔“以透明的方式”站出来回应事件，并表示选举软件应当持续接受审查。

“我们需要持续审视选举软件并确保其安全性，”她说道。

罗德岛州民主党众议员塞思·马扎林纳表示，他支持一项“简单”的选民身份证法，但反对众议院共和党提出的法案，称该法案超出了基本的身份证要求范畴。
“如果他们提出一项简单的选民身份证法案，进行公开唱名表决，不夹杂任何其他内容，我会投赞成票，”他说道。“我认为两党很多人都会这么做。但他们不断添加其他内容，比如削弱邮寄投票权，这就是昨天那份法案的问题所在。”

Democrats concede NJ voter-roll failure was ‘horrible’ — but reject broader fraud fears
Senators and representatives called for election integrity reforms including paper trails and software reviews

Democratic lawmakers told Fox News Digital they agree New Jersey’s voter registration error demands accountability but say it doesn’t justify claims of widespread election fraud.
New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill on Tuesday said a “serious software error” led to the mistaken registration of roughly 6,600 noncitizens through the state’s Motor Vehicle System, while the company that provides the identity-related security services denied any wrongdoing.
“In New Jersey, we absolutely need to have accountability for what happened,” Sen. Andy Kim, D-N.J., said.
“It was just horrible. There was a big problem with that computer problem that they had. We need to try to address that going forward.”

Kim said states should be given the tools to keep voter rolls accurate instead of relying on the Department of Homeland Security’s findings after the agency found roughly 250,000 potential noncitizens who may be registered to vote across New Jersey, California, Nevada and Pennsylvania during a preliminary review.
“The main thing is making sure states have what they need,” Kim added. “I don’t trust the idea that we’re just going to mesh it with some DHS database. That’s where a lot of the problems come in, but we should all be making sure we’re looking out for election integrity.”
Sherrill said she immediately ordered an investigation after the error was discovered and that the state’s Division of Elections is removing ineligible voters from the rolls. She said fewer than 400 of those improperly registered cast ballots.
Kim said improving election technology and maintaining paper trails need to be a priority.

“I’ve been pushing on that. Why don’t we get behind that?” he said.
Pointing to state and county officials, Sen. Brian Schatz, D-Hawaii, said they must ensure “only those who are eligible to vote, vote.”
The comments also come after House Democrats largely opposed a legislative package combining a congressional stock trading ban with federal voter ID measures, as New Jersey’s voter registration error reignites debate.
When asked whether the country needs a nationwide proof-of-citizenship requirement for voting, Rep. Ritchie Torres, D-N.Y., said President Donald Trump’s claims of widespread election fraud are “a figment of his imagination.”
“There’s no evidence for it, and I’m not going to validate his false narratives,” he said.
Despite acknowledging those involved should be “held accountable,” Sen. Raphael Warnock, D-Ga., said noncitizen voting “remains extremely rare.”
“I have always said that people should have to prove that they are who they say they are before they vote, and we have systems in place to ensure that happens, which is why noncitizen voting remains extremely rare,” he said.
Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., said the error was “not acceptable” and pointed to Virginia’s voter ID requirements and election audits, saying they have never uncovered a noncitizen voting problem.
“We do have an ID requirement in Virginia,” he said. “We also have audits of elections, and we’ve never found there to be a noncitizen voting problem.”
Praising Sherrill for coming forward in a “transparent manner,” Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., said election software should be continuously reviewed.

“We need to constantly be looking at election software and making sure,” she said.

Rep. Seth Magaziner, D-R.I., said he supports a “simple” voter ID law but opposed the House GOP bill because he said it went beyond a basic ID requirement.
“If they put up a simple voter ID bill for an up-or-down vote without any of the other bulls— in it, I would vote for it,” he said. “I think a lot of people on both sides would, too. But they keep adding other stuff, like gutting mail ballots, and that was the problem with yesterday’s bill.”
