Mikie Sherrill supports voter ID laws after glitch registers over 6,000 immigrants

After New Jersey registered thousands of noncitizens by glitch, Mikie Sherrill suddenly discovered voter ID.

Summary

A New Jersey registration glitch put more than 6,000 immigrants on the voter rolls, according to reporting around the race.
Mikie Sherrill said those noncitizens were removed and voiced support for voter ID laws after the scandal hit.
Election-integrity advocates argue ID and citizenship checks should have been baseline, not a panic button.
Democrats spent years casting voter ID as suppression; the glitch made the risk concrete.
State systems that cannot tell citizens from noncitizens invite distrust even when officials scramble to scrub lists.

Voter ID is not radical. It is how grown countries keep elections boring and legitimate.

If a glitch can register thousands of noncitizens, the machine was already soft. ICE-level seriousness about citizenship belongs in elections too.

Politicians who mocked ID suddenly support it when the headline gets local. Keep the standard after the cameras leave.
