    I Got registered to vote when applying for a Driver License renewal and even though I checked no on the form and I've renewed my DL multiple and never voted once since and said no every time! And still they have not removed me from the Voter registration Rolls! And they are going to have to Incarcerate me to get me to serve Jury Duty and I'm nearly one year late on serving my Jury Summons currently. And I Called my State's Voter Registration when that involuntary voter registration happened to inform them that that was done against my will and still to this day I remain on the Voter Rolls!

    even though these people indicated while applying for a driver’s license that they weren’t citizens, they were registered as voters “through no fault of their own.”

    Sherrill’s explanation also underscored what election officials have said for years: when non-citizens get onto the voter rolls, it’s usually accidental or unintentional. And illegal voting by non-citizen doesn’t happen on a massive scale, as Trump claims. The 400 improper voters cast ballots in elections where millions of eligible New Jersey voters voted.

      The 2004 Washington State Governor's election was ultimately decided by 129 votes so this is an egregiously ignorant excuse.

        Did this happen in any race in NJ? Also the <400 ballots were in different districts, and cast in different elections. They were also registered under different political parties, suggesting the ballots would not have skewed hard in any particular direction.
