Remarks in Georgia; transcript reported by Roll Call.
False
High confidenceAI-assessed confidence, not a measured probability. What this means
New Jersey did have a software error that improperly registered thousands of people who had indicated they were not U.S. citizens, but the available evidence shows fewer than 400 people newly registered through that error voted—not thousands. The evidence also does not establish that those individuals were undocumented immigrants.
- The New Jersey figures were described as preliminary, and the state’s investigation and review of affected registrations were ongoing.
- Being listed as having indicated noncitizenship does not by itself establish that a person was undocumented or that a particular ballot was legally invalid.
- The supplied metadata indicates a July 22, 2026 statement and a July 27, 2026 Michigan transcript, while contemporaneous reporting located the quoted remark in Georgia; the statement’s precise venue and source attribution should therefore be independently checked.

01
New Jersey improperly registered thousands of people who had indicated that they were not U.S. citizens.
New Jersey officials reported that a vendor software error improperly registered approximately 6,600 people between June 2023 and June 2024 after they indicated they were not U.S. citizens. The state later said some affected registrants might actually be citizens and began removing registrations created solely through the error.

03
The people involved were illegal aliens who were allowed to vote.
The available evidence identifies people who indicated they were not U.S. citizens during a motor-vehicle transaction; it does not establish that they were undocumented immigrants. The state also said some affected registrants might be citizens. Noncitizens are ineligible to vote in New Jersey, but the evidence does not support the claim that thousands of undocumented immigrants voted.
