Dem. Sen. Andy Kim Says Noncitizens Voting Isn't As Big of a Problem As Trump Makes It Sound

Yesterday we had the story about nearly 7,000 noncitizens in New Jersey who were nevertheless on the state's voter rolls. Of those several thousand, a few hundred had actually voted since 2023. The governor of New Jersey blamed a software glitch.

Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill said that a "serious software error in New Jersey’s Motor Vehicle System led to the registration of roughly 6,600 people who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens between June 2023 and June 2024, almost three years prior to my taking office."
"These individuals answered 'no' when asked on a keypad whether they were a U.S. citizen when applying for drivers' licenses and identification cards, but through no fault of their own, the system registered them anyway," according to Sherrill.

This is where we find ourselves in familiar territory.

First we're always told that things like illegal aliens registered to vote doesn't happen, and when that's disproved we arrive at the "yes it does happen but it's very rare and isn't widespread" stage of the spin game from Democrats.

That's what Sen. Andy Kim from New Jersey has taken it.

Democrat Senator Andy Kim acknowledges that there are 6,600 non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey but still says it is "not akin to what Donald Trump was talking about.”

Kim should use exaggerated finger quotes whenever he claims this kind of thing is a "mistake."

Any number greater than zero is too many.

What was exposed in New Jersey provides just the latest example of why the SAVE America Act is a necessity.
