Misplaced Blame?

When thousands of non-citizens were found on New Jersey voter rolls, New Jersey Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherril blamed a software glitch for the problem. Well, not so fast.

On Wednesday, The Gateway Pundit reported:

The recent news of illegal aliens registering in mass in NJ, and then voting, is not a surprise and is almost expected.

New Jersey is one of many States that DO NOT use the free Federal SAVE system to check for illegal aliens in their voter registrations or existing voter rolls.

SAVE is an online service administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that provides immigration status and U.S. citizenship information. SAVE only returns verification information. The decision to register or remove a voter remains with state or local election officials.

As of June 30th, there are 26 states using SAVE for voter-registration or voter-list-maintenance purposes. It processed 198 million cases in 2025.

The article includes the following map:

The article notes:

New Jersey joined the non-profit ERIC in August of 2022 to help clean their voter rolls. Secretary of State Tahesha Way said, “ERIC is a powerful step to strengthen New Jersey’s elections by increasing our ability to support eligible voters while also improving the accuracy of our voting rolls.”

Obviously, this isn’t working.

Their agreement (Section B, pg. 17) with the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC) does not allow NJ, or any other members of ERIC, to communicate or notate to ERIC that a person is a non-citizen.

The article explains:

This supposed sophisticated voter cleaning operation has in its by-laws that they do not want information that a person is a non-citizen. What’s even more bizarre, ERIC doesn’t use the SAVE system.

ERIC by-laws do not allow non-citizen info.

After President Trump was elected, he mandated enhancements to the SAVE system. There were several major changes. You could now bulk process voter lists. It now uses SSA data during citizenship verification. It now allows searches by Name, DOB, and last four of SS# instead of just the Alien Registration Number or I-94 number.

The SAVE system used to cost $1 per transaction. If you wanted to check, let’s say, 40,000 voters on your rolls, you would get a bill for $40 grand. These kinds of fees prevented many election administrators from using the system in bulk. Trump made it free and encouraged bulk processing.

The article concludes:

New Jersey isn’t alone with the recurring problem of registering anyone, even illegals. Many other States have had to disclose they are registering non-citizens automatically.

As we mentioned above, members of ERIC are hamstrung with bylaws that restrict the use of tagging non-citizens.

So, was the ERIC system purposely designed to hide illegals among our American citizen voter rolls?

So why would any American want to keep illegals on the voting rolls?

Don’t Expect Your Laws To Be Obeyed When You Ignore Other Laws

There is an old adage that says ‘you reap what you sow.’ I think some of our politicians who depend on law enforcement to keep the peace in their cities and states might want to think about that. On Friday, The New York Post posted an article about New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill setting up an internet site to track and take videos of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE). That seems to be interfering with the enforcement of the law, and I believe that is a crime.

The article reports:

Lefty New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill urged residents to film ICE agents operating in their neighborhoods and upload the videos to a state “portal” she vowed to launch.

“If you see an ICE agent in the street, get your phone out,” the Democrat, just eight days into her first term as governor of the Garden State, said in a sit-down interview with The Daily Show host Desi Lydic Wednesday night.

Sherill’s administration will soon be launching a “portal,” she said, so New Jerseyans “can upload all their cell phone videos and alert people” about local immigration operations.

It was unclear how much this portal would cost Garden State taxpayers to launch.

…“Keeping New Jerseyans safe is Governor Sherrill’s top priority and, in the coming days, she and Acting Attorney General Davenport will announce additional actions to protect New Jerseyans from federal overreach,” spokesperson Sean Higgins said in a statement.

If you are truly interesting in keeping the residents of New Jersey safe, you might consider taking murders and rapists who are here illegally off the streeets.

The article concludes:

Homan ( border czar, Tom Homan) also denounced the harsh rhetoric directed at ICE and other immigration law enforcement officers from Minnesota and across the country.

“I begged for the last two months on TV for the rhetoric to stop. I said in March — if the rhetoric doesn’t stop, there is gonna be bloodshed. And there has been. I wish I wasn’t right. I don’t want to see anybody die,” Homan said. 

Sherrill, meanwhile, compared ICE to secret police forces she saw in other countries when she served in the Navy.

“We saw people in the street with masks and no insignia. So not accountable at all, hiding from the population – and we saw again and again an undermining of what law enforcement should do to keep people safe,” she said on the Daily Show.

The message from the Democrats is simple–when you elect someone we don’t like, we will create chaos; when you elect someone we like, we will sit down and be quiet. I think the correct answer to that is to arrest those encouraging the chaos as well as those causing it. This is not acceptable.
