新泽西州选民欺诈事件推动《拯救法案》重获关注
众议员奇普·罗伊详细阐述了《拯救美国法案》对保障联邦选举的紧迫性。他重点提及新泽西州出现的“软件故障”：6600名非公民登记投票，其中数百人实际完成投票。罗伊强调，这一普遍问题证明了选民身份证法案的必要性——该法案得到80%美国人的支持，他敦促参议院通过这项法案。

新泽西州民主党州长米基·谢里尔表示，她将支持该州出台选民身份证法，尽管她抨击唐纳德·特朗普总统推动的联邦《拯救法案》是“选民压制手段”。
“谢里尔州长支持目前要求选民登记时出示身份证件的规定，她愿意考虑强化这些规定的提案，以确保我们举办全国范围内最严格、最公平的选举，”州长办公室的一名发言人周二对福克斯新闻数字频道表示。
谢里尔的言论为新泽西州共和党人提供了新的切入点，让他们得以就选民身份证问题向民主党施压，尽管她拒绝了特朗普领导下的《拯救美国法案》等联邦选举改革提案。
谢里尔的办公室周二回应了福克斯新闻数字频道的置评请求。此前，这位新泽西州民主党州长在7月对当地媒体表示，如果新泽西州通过选民身份证法，她将予以支持，并表示她“对选民身份证没有异议”。
舒默称“民主党支持选民身份证”——随后全体参议院民主党人投票反对共和党法案

“我非常反对《拯救法案》，”谢里尔当时补充道，“我认为这只是选民压制的工具，试图将新泽西州民众的所有个人身份信息纳入联邦政府系统，我对此表示反对。”
谢里尔曾在众议院任职七年，并于2025年投票反对《拯救法案》，其办公室将该法案描述为“极端的选民压制法案”。
谢里尔上月宣布，机动车委员会的系统故障导致约6600名自称非美国公民的人错误登记投票，此举引发批评。该州表示，因该错误新登记的选民中，不到400人实际投了票，随后宣布将移除超过4500个登记名额，剩余案件将接受额外审查，因为其中部分人士可能确实是公民。
新泽西州众议院少数党领袖约翰·迪马约对福克斯新闻数字频道表示，谢里尔最近的言论标志着“重大转变”——多年来，新泽西州共和党人一直在倡导选民身份证法案。

“但公开同意我们的立场是容易的部分，”迪马约说道，他补充道，民主党立法领导人掌控着哪些法案能获得听证会和投票机会，而到目前为止，共和党人尚未从他们那里听到任何关于选民身份证法案的进展。
“多年来我们一直在推动选民身份证和其他选举诚信改革法案。相关法案早已提交，我们多次呼吁举行听证会并进行投票。真正的障碍一直是民主党立法领导层，”这位共和党州议员说道。
迪马约表示，机动车系统的故障暴露了新泽西州选举保障措施的严重漏洞，而他们至今仍未得到关于故障原因的答复。
选民身份证要求在州一级多次引发重大党派之争，民主党和投票权组织辩称，部分要求可能会使符合资格的选民更难投票。
其中最引人注目的斗争于2021年在佐治亚州爆发。该州早已要求现场投票出示带照片的身份证件，但共和党支持的全面选举法案新增了缺席投票的身份证明要求以及其他改革。这一反弹波及全国，美国职业棒球大联盟将2021年全明星赛移出亚特兰大，一些好莱坞人士也威胁要发起抵制。

“谢里尔州长曾在军队服役并担任公职，因为她相信每位公民都有权通过投票参与我们的民主。这就是为什么她坚决反对MAGA共和党人的选民压制企图，以及特朗普要求获取新泽西州选民个人身份信息的行为，”州长办公室的一名发言人说道。

“她已经通过签署《约翰·R·刘易斯选民赋权法案》使投票变得更加便捷，并扩大了市政选举的提前投票范围，”这位发言人补充道，该法案禁止选民恐吓和歧视，扩大语言援助服务，并要求在有歧视历史的地区对选举改革进行额外审查。
特朗普在重新推动《拯救美国法案》之际，持续强调选民名单上存在非公民的问题。该法案要求提供美国公民身份的书面证明以登记参加联邦选举，并要求出示带照片的身份证件才能投出联邦选票。
“我认为他们应该通过选民身份证法案。我认为他们应该要求提供公民身份证明——基本上就是《拯救美国法案》……我认为这绝对是我们应该实现的目标，”特朗普周一在椭圆形办公室说道。

Sherrill drops head-turning voter ID declaration in wake of registration fiasco: ‘Significant shift’

Sherrill’s comments followed New Jersey’s 6,600 improper voter registrations

New Jersey voter fraud prompts renewed push for SAVE Act
Congressman Chip Roy details the urgency for the Save America Act to secure federal elections. He highlights a “software glitch” in New Jersey, where 6,600 non-citizens registered to vote and hundreds actually voted. Roy stresses that this widespread issue validates the need for voter ID, a measure supported by 80% of Americans, urging the Senate to pass the bill.

New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill says she would support a voter ID law in the Garden State — even as she slams President Donald Trump’s federal SAVE Act push as “voter suppression.”
“Governor Sherrill supports the current rules requiring ID for voter registration and she is open to considering proposals to strengthen those to make sure we have the strongest, fairest elections in the nation,” a spokesperson in the governor’s office told Fox News Digital on Tuesday.
Sherrill’s comments hand New Jersey Republicans a new opening to press Democrats on voter ID, even as she rejects Trump’s broader federal election push under the SAVE America Act.
Sherrill’s office responded to Fox News Digital on Tuesday after the Garden State Democrat told local media in July she would support a voter ID law if one were passed in New Jersey, saying she “doesn’t have a problem with voter ID.”

“I’m very opposed to the SAVE Act,” Sherrill added at the time. “I do believe that is just a tool of voter suppression and an attempt to get all of the personal identifying information of New Jerseyans into the federal government systems, which I’m opposed to.”
Sherrill served in the House for seven years and voted against the SAVE Act in 2025, with her office describing the measure as an “extreme voter suppression bill.”
Sherrill is facing criticism after announcing last month that a Motor Vehicle Commission system error improperly registered roughly 6,600 people who had indicated they were not U.S. citizens. The state said fewer than 400 people newly registered because of the error voted, and later announced that more than 4,500 registrations were being removed while the remaining cases undergo additional review because some of those individuals may be citizens.
New Jersey Assembly Minority Leader John DiMaio told Fox News Digital Sherrill’s recent comments mark a “significant shift” after years of Republicans in the Garden State advocating for voter ID.

“But agreeing with us publicly is the easy part,” DiMaio said, adding that Democratic legislative leaders control what gets a hearing and a vote, and that Republicans have so far heard nothing from them on voter ID.
“We’ve been pushing voter ID and other election integrity reforms for years. The bills are already introduced. We’ve repeatedly called for hearings and votes. The roadblock has been Democratic legislative leadership,” the Republican state leader said.
DiMaio said the Motor Vehicle System failure exposed serious weaknesses in New Jersey’s election safeguards and they still have not heard an answer of what went wrong.
Voter-ID requirements have repeatedly become major partisan fights at the state level, with Democrats and voting-rights groups arguing that some requirements can make it harder for eligible voters to cast ballots.
One of the most prominent battles erupted in Georgia in 2021. The state already required photo ID for in-person voting, but a sweeping Republican-backed election law added identification requirements for absentee voting along with other changes. The backlash went national, with MLB moving its 2021 All-Star Game out of Atlanta and some Hollywood figures threatening boycotts.

“Governor Sherrill served our country in the military and as a public servant because she believes in every citizen’s right to participate in our democracy by voting. That’s why she has stood firm against MAGA Republicans’ voter suppression attempts and Trump’s demands for New Jersey voters’ personal identifiable information,” said a spokesperson in the office of the governor.

“She has already made voting more accessible by signing the John R. Lewis Voter Empowerment Act and expanded early voting in municipal elections,” the spokesperson added, referencing the law that bans voter intimidation and discrimination, expanding language assistance, and requiring extra review of election changes in places with a history of discrimination.
Trump has continued to prioritize and highlight the issue of noncitizens on voter rolls as he renewed his push for the SAVE America Act, which would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and photo identification to cast a federal ballot.
“I think they should pass Voter I.D. I think they should pass proof of citizenship—basically SAVE America Act… I think that should be something that we should absolutely get,” Trump said in the Oval Office Monday.
