OPS! It was a Software Glitch, but it went unfixed until it was exposed! In July 2026, Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill had to disclose that a Motor Vehicle Commission process registered about 6,600 people who had answered “no” to the U.S. citizenship question when they applied for a driver’s license or state ID.
They were kept in the dark until more than two years after the problem was identified and corrected; wonder why?
State officials sheepishly blamed a “serious software error” involving longtime vendor IDEMIA. The company pushed back and said its system performed according to the process the state approved: “……applicants who indicated they wanted to register were transmitted even when they also indicated they were not citizens.”
This is code talk for: Plan worked until caught! Whamo!
On August 27, 2026, the RNC sent National Voter Registration Act notices to the secretary of state and election officials in six counties—Bergen, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Somerset, and Union—demanding records on noncitizen removals, citizenship verification, and roll maintenance.
Officials have until September 15 to produce them or face possible litigation. RNC Chairman Joe Gruters argued that Sherrill’s admission confirmed what public-records work had already shown: noncitizens were on the rolls, and officials have been slow to explain how.
The state has since removed over 5,000 names that had no separate eligibility attestation and flagged another 1,450 for county review.
Critics see a pattern, not an isolated accident. Over 44 states plus D.C. have the same style of ‘Motor-Voter’ registration run by the state DMV; what could go wrong?
Motor Voter systems in other states have produced similar errors when citizenship data and registration feeds are poorly separated. The scale may be small, and the safeguard still failed, but were there enough illegal votes cast to swing an election?
When agencies transmit DMV records into election systems without a reliable citizenship filter, ineligible people can land on the rolls, some will vote, disclosure can lag, and the official story can be “glitch.” Vendors and governments then argue over who owned the design.
Voters are left with the same demands they always have—current rolls, verified citizenship, and records that officials produce when asked. Software can fail. Process can fail.
Was this a simple software glitch, or a planner failure?
