AustriaUS President Donald Trump has criticized the American electoral system as 'manipulated' after a software error led to the incorrect registration of approximately 6,600 non-citizens in New Jersey between June 2023 and June 2024. The issue was traced back to a serious flaw in the state’s driver’s license and ID application process. Governor Mikie Sherrill stated that less than 400 of these individuals had actually voted, and none influenced the outcome of the 2024 presidential election, where Kamala Harris won by over 250,000 votes. Sherrill emphasized her commitment to transparency and accountability, criticizing Trump for undermining trust in elections through false claims. Experts note that while the U.S. voting system is complex, instances of fraud remain rare.
