New Jersey says a software error mistakenly added approximately 6,600 noncitizens to its voter rolls—and fewer than 400 ultimately cast ballots. Does the incident undermine claims that noncitizen voting is exceedingly rare, or show that isolated errors can be detected and corrected? Michael speaks with David Becker, executive director and founder of the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation & Research and a former senior trial attorney in the Justice Department’s Voting Section, about voter fraud, possible prosecutions, voter ID, DMV records, and the SAVE Act. Then Michael opens the phones to listeners divided over accountability, election security, and public trust in America’s voting systems. Original air date 23 July 2026.
