Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told Newsmax on Thursday that the Justice Department is treating New Jersey’s noncitizen voting issue as a “very serious matter” after demanding records on about 6,600 noncitizens who were improperly registered to vote.

Dhillon appeared on “Finnerty” after Gov. Mikie Sherrill, a Democrat, said her administration would not comply with the DOJ’s request for records, including information on roughly 400 noncitizens who cast ballots.

The demand is tied to the department’s lawsuit seeking New Jersey’s statewide voter file under the 1960 Civil Rights Act.

According to the Homeland Security Department, as many as 35,152 potential noncitizens could be on New Jersey’s voter rolls.

Sherrill disclosed this week that Motor Vehicle Commission software added applicants who had explicitly identified themselves as noncitizens.

Dhillon said the registrants “raised their hands” while obtaining driver’s licenses and should not have been registered to vote. She accused the state of going “mum” after DHS identified the registrations.

“This is not just a blue-state problem,” she said, listing West Virginia and Utah among roughly 30 states resisting federal voter-data requests. She accused states of “gaslighting their citizens.”
