    Democratic authorities in New Jersey acknowledged that over the course of a year, 6,600 migrants were registered as voters despite not having citizenship. This occurred due to a system that automatically adds all residents with driver's licenses to the voter database since 2018. The actual number of non-citizen voters could potentially reach up to 35,000. New Jersey is now preparing a law to consider citizenship status during voter registration.

Three suspects were arrested: Nguyen Van Vinh (1971), Nguyen Thi Tu (1982), and Nguyen Thi Tuyet (1964).
