Our own Doug Powers published a VIP post earlier, saying that the Democrats' lying about voting by noncitizens being a non-issue was aging worse by the minute. They really are doing the meme: OK, it's happening, but it's nothing to worry about. Professor Adam Cochran responded to Vice President JD Vance's post on the "software error" that led to 6,600 noncitizens (that we know of) registering to vote. New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said the software error occurred under the previous Democratic administration, so it took years to catch on to the fact.
And seriously: Who believes her claim that a software glitch was responsible for noncitizens hitting "no" on a keypad when asked if they were citizens and then registering them anyway? As the software vendor said, that wouldn't register them to vote; the state would still be responsible for confirming citizenship before registering them.
Cochran says that we know about the issue (three years later, after 400 noncitizens have voted) because our elections are secure.
Fun fact:

Nothing in the SAVE Act would have prevented this error from registering people.
However, this error was caught by the ballot review system that is already in place.
We know about the issue *because* our elections *are* secure. https://t.co/zTxamOmZZ1
Nothing in the SAVE America Act? Not even the requirement to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote, instead of just letting the noncitizen hit yes or no on a keypad while applying for a driver's license they shouldn't even have?

You are misrepresenting the facts
They would have had to PROVE the right to vote before the DMV was able to register them. So, yeah, it would have been caught before it went to the department of elections.

No they aren’t secure because if they were noncitizens would not have been able to vote.

Actually it would have. But you're not smart enough to figure that out.

Trust but verify. For some strange reason there’s opposition to “but verify”. If there’s nothing to hide, let the feds review the voter rolls? Why hide them?

Fun fact: NJ does NOT require ID to vote.

Therefore, they actually have no idea how many non-citizens have placed a vote in NJ, registered or not.
They have no idea if anyone who shows up at a polling place (citizen or not) is registered to vote in the state.
A supposed software error that results in the registration of ineligible voters is proof of secure elections.

Okay.
By definition the fact that non-citizens were able to vote means that the system is not secure. QED.

You caught it after their votes were counted from years ago, you pinheaded moron. Illegal votes were counted and don’t give me that it didn’t change the result nonsense because I only have one vote, so just one illegal vote to cancel a legal one is a problem.

You must think we're all stupid. This happened 2-3 years ago. If your control doesn't immediately address the risk, it's not effective, and therefore gives no confidence that our elections are secure.
— Unhinged Begbie (@jcalnc) July 22, 2026
Because New Jersey eventually caught 400 noncitizens voting, that proves our elections are secure. The invalid votes have already been cast and tabulated—that's not secure.
Let's pass the SAVE America Act just for fun. Why would anyone who wants secure elections not want that?
