DOJ gives New Jersey 5 days to hand over voter data after noncitizen registration scandal

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon doubled down on the DOJ's demand for New Jersey's voter registration data Wednesday after Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill's public revelation around 6,600 noncitizens were added to the rolls through the motor-voter process.

Dhillon’s letter to Sherrill came as a slew of lawmakers called for audits and bipartisan cooperation to address the findings, while the Justice Department noted it remains in litigation against Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell seeking New Jersey’s electronic voter database.
