Given the massive evidence in recent weeks and months about a lack of election integrity in the United States, including the 6,600 foreigners who were allowed by New Jersey officials to register to vote, and the 400 who did, Congress has expressed a heightened interest in battling those circumstances.
Specifically, members want to know the details of those foreigners put on New Jersey’s voter rolls, against the law.
But state officials, including Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, have refused to divulge the information so now members of the House Administration and Judiciary Committees are calling on the software vendor who provided the code for New Jersey to deliver those answers instead.
According to a report at Just the News, members of Congress want from software provider IDEMIA North America all documents and communications related to the issue.
They also have asked Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon that the Department of Justice investigate possible violations of the Civil Rights Act.
Sherrill has alleged the catastrophe was caused by a software problem.
NEW: Chairmen @Jim_Jordan, @RepBryanSteil, @Congressman_JVD, and @RepLaurelLee sent a letter to software company IDEMIA requesting information regarding New Jersey registering thousands of noncitizens to vote.

The company, however, issued a statement correcting Sherrill, explaining the software provided to the state the names of those ineligible to be registered to vote, and officials allowed those names anyway.
The report explained the problem actually had been identified by the state’s Motor Vehicle Division in June 2024 and a fix was sought.
“Based on this information, the Committees are concerned about the application of federal law in New Jersey as it pertains to accurate voter registration, as well as the effect that New Jersey’s failure to identify and remove noncitizens from its voter rolls has on the civil liberties of American voters and their ability to elect their representatives,” House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, Rep. Laurel Lee and Rep. Jeff Van Drew wrote in the letter.
“As the vendor that provided the software that allegedly made an error, IDEMIA has relevant information regarding the nature of the supposed error, the information collected by your software that New Jersey had in its possession, and how IDEMIA communicated with New Jersey state authorities about fixing the error,” they wrote.
Representatives want from IDEMIA the documents and communications related to the issue, to discover what happened
“If people who openly identified themselves as noncitizens were still able to register to vote, then we have every right to ask how many others slipped through the cracks. That is why this is now a coordinated effort between Congress and the Department of Justice to get to the bottom of exactly what happened,” Van Drew charged.
