Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon revealed that Governor Mikie Sherrill was aware of thousands of non-citizens on New Jersey’s voter rolls before she publicly smeared President Trump for exposing election fraud. Dhillon warned that states refusing to cooperate with the Justice Department’s efforts to secure elections could face lawsuits.
Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told reporters that New Jersey Governor Mikie Sherrill had advance knowledge of a forthcoming Department of Homeland Security report exposing more than 35,000 potential non-citizens on the state’s voter rolls. Dhillon stated that Sherrill “already knew that this revelation was forthcoming” when she chose to attack President Donald Trump as a liar after his July 16 speech, in which he courageously highlighted foreign interference and rampant non-citizen registration in Democrat-controlled states.
Dhillon made it clear that the Justice Department will support states that cooperate in rooting out election fraud, but warned that those who obstruct the process could face legal consequences. She said, “If they won’t work with, we’ll sue them and we’ll still fix the problem,” underscoring the DOJ’s commitment to restoring election integrity.
Following Trump’s truthful remarks, Sherrill joined 23 other Democratic governors in a coordinated effort to discredit the president’s claims and shield their states from scrutiny. The statement, led by Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, dismissed Trump’s well-founded assertions as “lies and conspiracy theories” and falsely claimed that elections remain “safe and secure.”
Dhillon called on all governors to cooperate with the DOJ’s investigations into election-integrity violations, emphasizing that every illegal vote “cancels out the vote of a New Jersey voter.” She gave Sherrill five business days to provide voter-registration data, a deadline that expired on Tuesday. Sherrill, defiant, told WCBS that she would not comply, accusing the federal government of “weaponizing” the issue instead of addressing the real threat to election security.
When pressed about the accusation that she knew of the motor-voter scandal, Sherrill’s spokesperson cited her comments after a visit to a grocery store in Essex County, where she claimed her administration was conducting an independent investigation and that “Jerseyans deserve transparency.”
Other states, including Pennsylvania and New York, have also resisted the DOJ’s reasonable requests for voter-registration data, hiding behind federal and state privacy protections. The department has previously been forced to file lawsuits against officials in several states over the same issue, including New Jersey Lieutenant Governor Dale Caldwell.
