Republicans tighten screws on Sherrill as noncitizen voter probe enters new phase

Twelve questions. A mailer for an answer. Van Drew is booking the hearing.

Summary

  • Fox News reports House Republicans say New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill skipped most of a July 24 letter's 12 questions on the state's noncitizen voter-registration failure and answered with a political attack on President Trump.
  • Rep. Jeff Van Drew (R-N.J.), joined by RSC Chair August Pfluger, called the reply a mailer on official letterhead. He is scheduling a House Judiciary Oversight Subcommittee hearing and working with Chairman Jim Jordan to get records from Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell, the elections chief.
  • Van Drew said subpoenas are on the table if cooperation dies. He said motor-voter automatic registration put noncitizens on the roll, and that some were registered and some voted.
  • Sherrill said affected residents were mailed notices and accused Republicans of using the error. Van Drew's line stayed simple: Americans vote. Noncitizens do not.

Commentary

A shop steward still peels a wet sticker off a cracked windshield and treats Election Day like a shift he cannot miss. He did not stand in that gym so a motor-voter machine could enroll a noncitizen.

That is the gap. Twelve questions. A mailer back. A hearing on the calendar. The honest dad already showed the license. The extra registration showed a loophole.

Look every working father who still waits at a folding table in the eye and answer this: if the governor will not answer Congress, who still owns the New Jersey roll?

Comments

If twelve questions get a mailer back, who still owns New Jersey's roll?

Van Drew called it a mailer. That is the whole letter.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I registered at a counter with a clerk who looked me in the eye. Automatic is how the ghost gets in.

u/rule_first · 4h

July 24. Twelve questions. Jordan and Caldwell next. Subpoena if they stall.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied rolls still require a citizen. A motor-voter leak is a stolen precinct.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Pfluger signed. Van Drew chairs the overlay. File the 12.

u/night_shift · 2h

I vote before nights. I do not share the book with a noncitizen card.

u/texas_mom · 90m

A mailed notice after the fact is not a clean election. It is a confession.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

If some voted, the damage is not theoretical. Pull the ballots.

u/press_clip · 30m

Fox printed 12 questions, the mailer line, and the hearing. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Hear the witnesses. Send the paper. Clean the motor-voter leak. The gym is not a loophole.
