NJ Democrat ADMITS Non Citizens Voted, Claims Glitch Allowed THOUSANDS To Register

"and Trump just won this. So Trump did, yeah, Trump did an executive order. It they the states took it to court and the court said, "Yeah, that's legit. You can do that. You can withhold it if you can't get a reasonable list of voters. You can withhold sending the mail and ballots.""

During a discussion about mail-in voting administration, a Timcast IRL guest claimed that an executive order by Donald Trump was upheld in court, allowing mail-in or absentee ballots to be withheld if states cannot provide a “reasonable list of voters”. The guest further asserted this would pressure all-mail voting states such as Washington and Colorado if they do not share voter rolls, but did not cite the court decision or order details on-air.

About this episode

The Timcast IRL panel discusses reports that thousands of non-citizens were improperly registered to vote in New Jersey due to a software error, referencing figures they attribute to NBC News and The New York Times (including that roughly 400 non-citizens cast ballots). From that starting point, the hosts and guests speculate about how registration and voter-roll errors could affect close local races, and argue for stricter voter ID and voter-roll hygiene.

A guest introduces additional, unverified allegations about election problems in Detroit, claiming a pastor, Lorenzo Sewell, is pursuing multiple lawsuits and that some voters have been told at polling places that they “already voted”. The panel also repeats claims about large numbers of deceased people remaining on voter rolls, and shares an anecdote about receiving a ballot at a New Jersey address for someone who did not live there.

Later, the conversation turns to mail-in voting logistics. One guest claims a Trump executive order and a court ruling would allow withholding the distribution of mail-in/absentee ballots if states cannot provide an eligible voter list, suggesting this could impact all-mail voting states.

The final portion shifts away from elections into a lighter exchange about diet, gut bacteria, fermented foods such as kimchi, and whether nutrition affects cognition and weight management.
