State Dems Accuse GOP Of 'Fear-Mongering' After Election-Integrity Announcement

Democratic officials on Tuesday condemned state Republicans for “fear-mongering” after a GOP task force alleged that hundreds of non-citizens are on New Jersey’s voter rolls.

The Republican Party’s election-integrity task force issued a press release Monday alleging that Motor Vehicle Commission registration flaws incorrectly placed “hundreds” of non-citizens, but didn’t offer a specific number. The GOP accused dozens of these non-citizens of participating in elections.

Alicia D’Alessandro, a spokesperson for the Division of Elections, told the New Jersey Globe that all allegations of voter fraud are investigated and that the Division of Elections had not heard from the state GOP about confirming any given registered voter’s status.

On Tuesday, state Democratic Chairman LeRoy Jones Jr. said concerns about widespread voting fraud are unfounded. He also attacked state GOP Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon, also the Monmouth County clerk, pointing to two people charged with illegally voting in Monmouth County.
