The Issue: New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill reveals 400 noncitizens cast illegal ballots in Jersey elections.

So, New Jersey Gov. Incompetent, er, Mikie Sherrill had to eat crow and admit her state is registering noncitizens to vote (“NJ vote casting gall,” July 22).

The president proved to be right again.

Mikie tried to downplay the issue and blame Trump for election interference.

Won’t wash, Mikie — you got caught.

Of course foreigners have been voting in our elections.

And if the authorities are admitting it, that means the number is likely much, much higher.

This needs to be investigated and stopped.

This is why we need to require a photo ID to vote.

Steve Preziosa Sr.

Deptford, NJ

Of course my home state is admitting to noncitizens casting votes in elections.

Believing this is some “technical glitch” is like believing Santa Claus is real.

Plausible deniability is a wonderful ally for any politician.

Jersey is full of them.

James Schwartz

Summit, NJ

So 6,000 noncitizens were registered to vote in New Jersey and 400 actually did.

My prediction: Both numbers swell 10-fold on the next audit just after November.

Someone call a doctor because Gov. Mikie Sherrill has a bad case of Trump Derangement Syndrome.

The president has been pushing for voter ID with resistance from the Democratic Party, including Sherrill.

She claims that it’s impossible for an illegal immigrant, or any non-citizen. to vote in our elections.

What a surprise: On Gov. Phil Murphy’s watch, over 6,000 noncitizens were added to New Jersey voter rolls.

And who does Sherrill fault?

President Trump, of course.

How can these Democratic politicians live with themselves?

She’s either terribly stupid or just dumb.

Robert Leavy

Middle Village

Only a fool would swallow Sherrill’s pathetic excuse of a “software glitch” as the reason for 6,600 noncitizens to register as voters.

Here we have, on full display, the straightforward truth: Democrats need to cheat to win.

At this point, if they want to prove this fact is not true, they need to pass the SAVE Act.

Susan Cienfuegos

New Rochelle

Do we think this was a software glitch?

Heck no.

The fact that this software “glitch” automatically signed the noncitizens up for voting is proof the feds have to take charge of voting.

I suppose this glitch also sent an Uber to pick them up on Election Day?

How many more states have this glitch?

Charlie Honadel

Venice, Fla.

Watching Mikie Sherrill lie through her teeth about her state’s computer glitch which registered over 6,000 noncitizens to vote, almost 400 of whom have voted in elections, was a joke.

Sherrill is just another corrupt Democrat politician who thinks that cheating in elections is acceptable because it helps them win.

You can almost guarantee that thousands more noncitizens were accidentally registered by those glitchy computers.

Robert DiNardo

Farmingdale

Sherrill has admitted that many New Jersey votes were cast illegally.

Now she’s trying to blame Trump, who had nothing to do with this.

This corruption is going on in many states and that’s why we need to pass a bill for election integrity.

Gene O’Brien

Whitestone

The cat is out of the bag: Voter fraud is alive and well in the Garden State.

Of course, the total of 400 noncitizen ballots is minimal, but nevertheless a black mark on our sacred election process.

Could this once again bring life to the SAVE America Act?

Ron Zajicek

Cortlandt

Trump still claims that there was interference with the 2020 election.

He said that China hacked our voting systems, but when Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Chinese officials, they did not discuss the matter.

President Trump also cut funding for the agency dealing with election security.

Clearly this indicates his administration isn’t really serious about election security.
