This is exactly why I called on the Department of Justice and United States Attorney to launch their own investigation,” Pennacchio said in a statement.
The 35,000 figure Pennacchio cited has been attributed to the Department of Justice but has not been independently confirmed by state election officials.
Pennacchio’s statement also cited a New Jersey Globe report that about 75,000 noncitizens are summoned for jury duty in New Jersey each year.
On July 22, Pennacchio sent a letter to Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche requesting that the Department of Justice launch its own investigation of the Motor Vehicle Commission’s automatic voter registration system.
On July 27, he called on Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon to expand the federal investigation into the registration and voting of noncitizens in New Jersey.
