Episode Details

New Jersey’s voter rolls hit a major glitch—six thousand six hundred noncitizens accidentally registered to vote over a year. Governor Sherrill’s team is already scrubbing over four thousand five hundred names, while the Motor Vehicle Commission sends letters to the rest for review. The error, traced to a vendor’s faulty software, went unnoticed for a year—prompting fury from the governor, who blamed inaction from the prior administration. Amid this cleanup, she’s pushing forward with a new John Lewis-inspired voting rights bill to expand access and combat suppression, especially as courts empower states to redraw election maps—potentially weakening communities of color. The goal? Fix the rolls accurately without disenfranchising any eligible voters.
