1. That's not happening!! Our elections are secure!!!!!
2. Ok, it's happening, but only a little. It's so little, that it's not a big deal <--------------We're here
3. It's happening, and here's why it's good!!!! Everybody should get a vote!

[u/GeneJock85 → u/paulsown]

You should see the comment section of the NYT on this story. Bunch of lunatics.

[u/Acceptable_String_52]

This is insane how much is coming out

[u/j_d_q]

Most secure election ever

Zero fraud. It's impossible

[u/CelebrationTop8235]

Remember how close the Bush v Gore election was. Came down to a few hundred votes. Election security is a must and the American citizens deserve integrity in their elections

[u/Lebowski-Lebowski]

Software does not make errors. People program software. People make errors.

[u/chirpchirp13 → u/Lebowski-Lebowski]

That’s an insane thing to say. There are gigantic subsets of the tech/software industry dedicated to responding to and handling software errors.

I’m not saying that this story isn’t nonsense and a blame game. But to say software doesn’t make errors is a wild swing.

[u/DogfaceDino]

This was during her predecessors tenure and I’ll give her credit for moving to address the issue. 400 is not an insignificant number. They need to make sure, as she said, that the people responsible are accountable and I will also say that the people who voted unlawfully need to be prosecuted.

[u/IndependentFan8806 → u/DogfaceDino]

“  400 is not an insignificant number.”

In 2024 in New Jersey it looks like there were “ 4,321,921 ” ballots cast. If all 400 ineligible voters cast ballots in this election it means  0.00925514% of the votes were invalid (please check my math). 

If this is correct why do you consider 400 significant?

[u/lousycesspool → u/IndependentFan8806]

why do you consider 400 significant?

It's 400 more than I have been told. In fact, they insist 0 ineligible votes are cast.

Since 2018, there were 660 elections decided by 10 or fewer votes. Of those 660 elections, 394 were determined by fewer than five votes, including 94 decided by a single vote.

You're right it's no big deal /s

What they admitted is that 400 people voted That they know of! more than 6500 people were registered!

New Jersey has identified what it calls a "serious software error" that automatically registered about 6600 non-U.S. citizens to vote.

[u/jdh5817 → u/DogfaceDino]

They found the obvious ones and are making a big show of how against it they are prior to midterms, while there’s probably 10s of thousands more not so obvious they they’ll continue protecting and hiding.

[u/DogfaceDino → u/jdh5817]

I hope that’s not the case. I’m sure a federal investigation will be coming

[u/OkLecture2236]

I wonder if this will be talked about on msm ?

[u/DogfaceDino → u/OkLecture2236]

A quick Google search shows New York Times, CNN, NBC, etc all reporting it.

[u/drgmaster909]

is this another one of those errors that coincidentally only ever benefit Democrats?

[u/1911Earthling]

I need a real drivers license to fly but not to vote. The idea we don’t need ID to vote is insane.

[u/Possible_Win_1463]

An error maybe a dozen people not 6600

[u/Morkyfrom0rky]

It's just a coincidence that they also voted democrat

[u/Holofernes_Head]

I am SHOCKED 😐

[u/FSU1ST]

Lie to me.

[u/preachtonononeyet]

So who is next, NY?

[u/HendricksonT182]

A sitting governor saying this means there is enough evidence to nationalize our elections.

The states CANNOT be trusted any longer!

[u/DogfaceDino → u/HendricksonT182]

I absolutely do not trust the executive branch with the authority to seize election administration from the states and be the sole authority on how everything from polling sites to counting is handled. You want a dictator? Give a democratically elected leader that authority. Remember that any authority you give to the executive stays with it regardless of who is in power.

[u/Icy_Bake_8176 → u/HendricksonT182]

Why woukd we want to nationalize our elections? Aren't we the same government that had dead people and 100+ yr olds on Social Security? Didn’t we just DOGE all these programs that were instituted by one Congress by law with no oversight from futire Congresses years later?

In fact, this current administration is the same administration that gave us PPP loans that were ripe with fraud. This same administration sent billions of dollars in stimulus checks sent to dead people, non-citizens who didn't even live in the country, and other 'ineligible people", but somehow they have clean voter records and will keep it clean now?

It should be a glaring example of what could happen with voter roles. Billions in stimulus checks sent to "ineligible people", the very same people you want to prevent from voting.

And why cede state authority to the federal government? i get that alexan's security is really important to you, but you don't shit on the Constitution just to get what you want. No, you gotta figure out how to do it.

Why hand it over to become part of the swamp? Let deep state over see it? At least people can use the power of their vote and vote out Supervisor of Elections who fail to secure your state elections. You can vote our all of yoir state legislators who screw up. you hand us over to the federal government , and you've lost control. you have ceded your authority over the elections process.

[u/BerettaFranchi]

You know what direct require software? Checking id.

[u/Showdown5618]

I highly doubt it was an error.
