众议院共和党人组成的联盟正在加紧施压要求得到答案，此前议员们表示新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔未能就该州非公民选民登记丑闻的大部分问题做出回应，反而将批评矛头对准了总统唐纳德·特朗普。
共和党研究委员会成员、新泽西州共和党众议员杰夫·范·德鲁告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，谢里尔的回信被他描述为“尖酸刻薄”且带有政治化色彩，且在很大程度上回避了议员们的问题，因此将产生相应后果。
“我们从州长那里收到的回复，几乎就像是她把一份政治竞选传单印在了正式信纸上，”范·德鲁说。“作为新泽西州州长，这有失身份，也有失我的身份，这太令人遗憾了。”

“我只是在陈述显而易见的事实，”范·德鲁说。“如果你是美国人，就应该在美国选举中投票。如果你不是美国人，就不应该在美国选举中投票。”
议员们最初的调查重点是登记失误是如何发生的、其潜在后果以及新泽西州将如何防止再次出现此类故障。
唐纳德·特朗普总统2019年12月19日星期四在华盛顿白宫椭圆形办公室会见新泽西州民主党众议员杰夫·范·德鲁。
由范·德鲁和得克萨斯州共和党众议员、委员会主席奥古斯特·普弗勒牵头，数十名共和党研究委员会成员于7月24日发出信件，就登记失误及其潜在影响提出了12个具体问题。
谢里尔回应称，受影响的居民已收到邮寄通知，但范·德鲁表示，整体回复未能解决国会的担忧。
“我们不会就此罢休，”范·德鲁承诺。
范·德鲁表示，他计划以众议院司法委员会监督小组委员会主席的身份举行听证会，预计将有专家证人作证。
范·德鲁表示，他正与委员会主席、俄亥俄州共和党众议员吉姆·乔丹领导的全院委员会合作，从该州选举主管、副州长戴尔·考德威尔那里获取所需信息。

“如果在我们掌握充分证据后仍然完全缺乏合作，那么存在这种可能性，但并非板上钉钉，”范·德鲁说。“但如果他们仍不配合，在我看来，我们确实也必须考虑发出传票。”
谢里尔为其政府辩护的同时，批评了国会、特朗普以及共和党支持的《拯救美国法案》。
“华盛顿的共和党人……似乎更关心利用这个议题谋取政治利益，而非保护我们的选举，”谢里尔写道，指责多名联署议员支持特朗普“破坏我们的选举制度”的企图，并指出其中7人在2020年大选后质疑选举人团投票结果。
谢里尔还驳斥了共和党人的说法，即《拯救美国法案》本可以防止此次失误，她写道：“我建议你们更熟悉一下自己共同发起的这项立法。”她还对扩大联邦政府在选民登记方面作用的提议提出了隐私和权力滥用的担忧，包括通过中央选民登记系统。
范·德鲁告诉福克斯新闻：“当你实施‘选民登记机动车计划’时，人们基本上会自动登记投票——首先，新泽西州是一个庇护州……非法罪犯根本就不该待在这个州。但现在我们发现，非法移民显然也有能力登记投票，而且他们确实被登记了，其中一些人实际上还投了票。”
白宫也驳斥了谢里尔的回应，称她批评特朗普政府的选举诚信政策“令人啼笑皆非”。
“此前她和她的民主党同僚多年来一直否认非公民会在我们的选举中登记和投票，”白宫发言人劳伦·比斯说。
谢里尔的发言人肖恩·希金斯回击了这些批评，告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，州长的回信详细说明了特伦顿市“如何以透明和负责的态度纠正2023年的这一错误”。
“但共和党人更热衷于玩政治游戏。考虑到杰夫·范·德鲁的竞选团队雇佣了一名被判犯有选民欺诈、贿赂和敲诈勒索罪的工作人员，他可能不是谈论这个议题中‘过于政治化’问题的最佳人选，”希金斯说，并指出了2020年《政客》杂志关于前大西洋城议会主席克雷格·卡洛韦的报道。
普弗勒告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，谢里尔“用三页纸搞政治闹剧，几乎只用一句话回答我们的问题”，并补充说她“回避”了是否有选举的获胜票数少于非法选票数量的问题。
“我们不会让这个故事被埋没。现在是时候通过《拯救美国法案》，以确保我们的选举安全、透明，值得公众信任，”他说。
新泽西州代表团资历最深的议员、共和党研究委员会同事克里斯托弗·史密斯表示，特伦顿必须向国会“完全透明”并提供纠正问题的前进道路。

“选举安全是民主的基石；我们必须采取一切必要措施，确保只有拥有投票权的人才能投票，”史密斯说。
调查将通过多条渠道继续推进。范·德鲁的小组委员会正在筹备听证会，司法委员会正在索要更多州级记录，议员们正在权衡采取进一步强制行动，与此同时行政部门也在进行单独审查。

A coalition of House Republicans is escalating its push for answers after lawmakers said New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill failed to address most of their questions about the state’s noncitizen voter-registration scandal and instead directed criticism at President Donald Trump.
Republican Study Committee member Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., told Fox News Digital there will be consequences after Sherrill sent a response that he characterized as “snarky” and politicized and said largely sidestepped the lawmakers’ questions.
“The response that we got from the governor was almost like she took a political mailer and embossed it upon her official letterhead,” Van Drew said. “As governor of the state of New Jersey, it was beneath her, it was beneath me, and it was unfortunate.”

“I state the obvious,” Van Drew said. “If you are an American, you should be voting in an American election. If you’re not an American, you shouldn’t be voting in an American election.”
Lawmakers focused their original inquiry on how the registration failure occurred, its potential consequences and how New Jersey would prevent another breakdown.
President Donald Trump meets with Rep. Jeff Van Drew, D-N.J., in the Oval Office of the White House, Thursday, Dec. 19, 2019, in Washington.
The July 24 letter from dozens of RSC members, led by Van Drew and Chairman August Pfluger, R-Texas, posed 12 specific questions about the registration failure and its potential impact.
Sherrill replied that affected residents have been mailed notifications, but Van Drew said the overall response failed to address Congress’ concerns.
“We’re not done with this,” Van Drew pledged.
Van Drew said he is planning a hearing as chairman of the House Judiciary Committee’s Oversight Subcommittee, with expert witnesses expected to testify.
Van Drew said he is working with the full committee under Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, to get the requested information from Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell, the state’s elections chief.

“If there’s a complete lack of cooperation after we build up a case, there is a possibility, it’s not definite,” Van Drew said. “But if they’re not, we do, in my opinion, have to look at subpoenas as well.”
Sherrill defended her administration while criticizing Congress, Trump and the Republican-backed SAVE America Act.

“Washington Republicans … seem much more concerned with using the issue for political gain than they are with protecting our elections,” Sherrill wrote, accusing several signatories of supporting Trump’s efforts to “undermine our election system” and noting that seven had challenged electoral votes after the 2020 election.
Sherrill also disputed Republicans’ contention that the SAVE America Act would have prevented the error, writing, “I encourage you to become more familiar with the legislation you have cosponsored.” She also raised privacy and abuse-of-power concerns about proposals to expand the federal government’s role in voter registration, including through a centralized voter registry.
Van Drew told Fox that “when you have a motor-voter law, [via which] people basically are automatically registered to vote – First of all, New Jersey is a sanctuary state… Illegal criminals shouldn’t be even in the state. But now we find out that illegals were also obviously having the ability to register to vote and were being registered and some of them actually were voting.”
The White House also rebuked Sherrill’s response, calling it “laughable” that she would criticize the Trump administration on election integrity.
“[This] after she and her fellow Democrats have denied for years that non-citizens are registering and voting in our elections,” said White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis.
Sherrill spokesperson Sean Higgins hit back at the criticisms, telling Fox News Digital the governor’s reply detailed how Trenton “moved with transparency and accountability to remediate this error from 2023.”
“But Republicans are more interested in playing political games. Considering that Jeff Van Drew’s campaign employed an operative convicted of voter fraud, bribery and blackmail, he might not be the best voice on what is too ‘political’ on this topic,” Higgins said, pointing to a 2020 Politico report about ex-Atlantic City council president Craig Callaway.
Pfluger told Fox News Digital that Sherrill spent “three pages on political theater and barely a sentence answering our questions,” adding that she “dodged” whether any elections were decided by fewer votes than the number of illegal ballots cast.
“We are not letting this story get buried. It is high time we pass the SAVE America Act to make sure our elections are secure, transparent, and worthy of the public’s trust,” he said.
Rep. Christopher Smith, R-N.J., the state delegation’s most senior member and an RSC colleague, said Trenton must give Congress “complete transparency” and a corrective path forward.

“Secure elections are the bedrock of democracy; we must take all steps necessary to ensure that votes are cast only by those who have a right to vote,” Smith said.

The inquiry will continue on several tracks. Van Drew’s subcommittee is preparing a hearing, the Judiciary Committee is seeking additional state records and lawmakers are weighing further compulsory action as separate executive branch scrutiny continues.
