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

A glitch registered over 6,000 immigrants. Even Mikie Sherrill now wants voter ID.

Summary

A registration glitch enrolled more than 6,000 immigrants, the Washington Examiner reports.
New Jersey Democrat Mikie Sherrill said she supports voter ID after the error.
The incident shows how a database mistake can put non-citizens on the roll.
Sherrill had not been a loud voter-ID voice before the glitch hit her state.
Election officials are now explaining how the filter failed and how they will unwind the names.

Voter ID was never a dirty word. It is the adult way to run a list. A 6,000-name glitch is the exhibit.

If a Democrat running statewide now says yes, the old smear is dead. The roll is a security system, not a vibe.

Citizenship is the first filter. ICE and DMV data should talk to the clerk before another batch lands on the book.

Did a 6,000-name glitch just make voter ID mainstream?

I do not care about the party. I care that the filter failed.

Show the ID. Every bank already does. Elections are not less serious than a checking account.

Six thousand names is not a one-off. It is a control failure.

Japan treats the roll as a civic list, not a recruitment drive. Copy that.

If immigrants can land on the roll by accident, ICE and the clerk need the same database.
