The New Jersey Republican Party (NJGOP) Task Force, which was launched about a month ago and is working with the Republican National Committee (RNC), uncovered hundreds of non-citizens registered to vote in the state, announced NJGOP Chairwoman Christine Giordano Hanlon. 
The findings were based on analysis of a public records request to all 21 counties in the state, she added. 
In a Monday article, the NJGOP said that 30 documented cases were found of non-citizens illegally voting, including in some cases for multiple elections and over many years. 
“We have just begun our analysis and already have uncovered significant breaches. 
We believe these findings are just the tip of the iceberg,” Hanlon said. 
One key reason appears to be the voter registration process that is conducted through the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission (NJVMC). 
Individuals who are not citizens can legally obtain driver’s licenses in the state, and many are eligible to receive social security numbers, according to the NJGOP. 
“Individuals who may be legally present in the United States but not eligible to vote may nevertheless become registered through the NJVMC integrated system because of insufficient citizenship-verification safeguards,” the organization stated. 
It also noted that many of the cases surfaced due to self-reporting. 
“Without these disclosures, election officials may never have detected these individuals on the voter rolls, highlighting another major gap in our existing system,” Hanlon said. 
“Obtained data did reflect that hundreds of non-citizens requested removal from voter rolls after self-reporting to New Jersey’s voter registration offices during the naturalization process,” the article explained. 
Hanlon brought up the concern that without self-reporting, these cases would not have been discovered. 
“It begs the question, how many other non-citizens are currently on the rolls who have not self-reported? 
Sufficient safeguards are needed in New Jersey to prevent non-citizens from being added to the voter rolls in the first place,” she continued. 
Though the investigation is being carried out by the NJGOP, Hanlon claimed that the issue is nonpartisan. 
“Election integrity is not a partisan or political issue, but the very foundation of our democracy. 
Americans deserve elections that have integrity, and we must take decisive action to push for proper reforms in New Jersey,” she said.
