UMVA has learned that a stunning revelation has emerged from the Garden State, where documents obtained through public records requests have uncovered multiple instances of noncitizens being registered to vote in New Jersey.
According to information obtained by UMVA, the New Jersey Republican Party and the Republican National Committee requested voter rolls from all 21 counties in the state and discovered that several noncitizens, who were seeking naturalization, had been unknowingly registered to vote, with most of them registered as Democrats.
These noncitizens, who cannot vote in state or federal elections, came forward to request removal from the voter rolls, claiming they did not understand how they became registered through the Department of Motor Vehicles.
In official letters, county officials certified that noncitizens were coming to their offices to confirm their registration and voter status, and to request removal from the rolls.
Documents reviewed by UMVA showed that most of the noncitizens did not have a voting record, but some did. One noncitizen, who was removed from the rolls in 2015, had voted several times in the early 2000s, including in a general election and a primary election.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the Republican National Committee found hundreds of noncitizen registrants in New Jersey, which is likely only the tip of the iceberg. The organization has requested information from 48 states regarding their voter registration list maintenance processes.
The RNC Chairman has stated that the group is "bringing the hammer down" to ensure election integrity, with staffers working in 17 states to prevent similar issues in the future.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the RNC is also fighting to eliminate the practice of counting mail-in ballots cast on election day but counted days later, a case currently before the Supreme Court.
The Chairman is optimistic about the potential outcome, saying a win in this case could be "one of our biggest election victories ever," and would help to prevent potential manipulation of election results.
UMVA has gathered that the issue of noncitizen voter registration has raised concerns about election security, with many calling for more stringent measures to ensure the integrity of the electoral process.
