国会两委员会传票新泽西州务卿办公室：追查约6600名非公民被登记选民
美国众议院司法委员会10月21日发布消息，该委员会主席 Jim Jordan 与众议院行政委员会主席 Bryan Steil 当天联名向新泽西州州务卿办公室发出传票，指该部门对国会调查配合不足。两人在致代理州务卿 Shirley Emehelu 的信中称，截至周三，该部门在多次催促后仅提供12份文件，并以未具体说明的「特权」理由拒绝交出其余材料，妨碍了委员会的监督工作。
调查源于2023年6月至2024年6月间约6600名非公民在新泽西被登记为选民，其中约400人实际投过票。州长 Mikie Sherrill 称，错误登记源于州机动车辆委员会的「软件错误」，但软件运营商 Idemia 对此予以否认。
两名委员会主席在信中表示，不合格登记令人担忧联邦法律在新泽西的执行情况，并可能影响美国选民选举其代表的权利。中期选举临近，选民名册准确性正成为国会监督的焦点之一。
House Committees Subpoena New Jersey Secretary of State Over 6,600 Noncitizen Voter Registrations
The U.S. House Judiciary Committee announced on October 21 that its chairman, Jim Jordan, and House Administration Committee Chairman Bryan Steil had jointly subpoenaed the New Jersey Secretary of State's office, accusing it of failing to cooperate with a congressional investigation. In a letter to Acting Secretary of State Shirley Emehelu, the chairmen said the office had produced only 12 documents after repeated requests and withheld the rest citing unspecified privilege, obstructing the committees' oversight.
The inquiry stems from the registration of about 6,600 noncitizens as voters in New Jersey between June 2023 and June 2024, about 400 of whom actually cast ballots. Governor Mikie Sherrill attributed the erroneous registrations to a software error at the state Motor Vehicle Commission, a claim the software vendor, Idemia, has denied.
The chairmen said the ineligible registrations raise concerns about enforcement of federal law in New Jersey and could affect American voters' ability to elect their representatives. With the midterms approaching, voter-roll accuracy has become a focus of congressional oversight.
