Summary

A neutral summary of the key facts most outlets agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said a “serious software error” in the state Motor Vehicle system incorrectly registered about 6,600 people who had identified themselves as noncitizens, and about 400 later voted. The software vendor disputed that account, saying officials approved the applications despite citizenship information in the system. The Justice Department opened an inquiry and gave Sherrill five days to provide records, while the White House on July 21 urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act.
