This May Be A BIGGER Conspiracy Than We Had Thought

"Well, overnight we reached out to the software company that runs New Jersey's system, and you know what they said? There's no software glitch at all. The state of New Jersey knew they were putting noncitizens onto the voter rolls. It is the state's responsibility to determine who is eligible to vote and who's not. The software had it marked right."

In the clip, John Solomon says the New Jersey governor admitted that “6,600 illegal aliens” were on New Jersey’s voter rolls and that “400 of them actually cast a vote.” Solomon says the governor attributed it to a “software glitch,” but claims his outlet contacted the software company running the state’s system and was told “there's no software glitch,” that the state knew noncitizens were being put on the rolls, and that eligibility determinations are the state’s responsibility.

About this episode

This short Dan Bongino Show segment centres on a claim aired from journalist John Solomon about New Jersey’s voter rolls. Bongino introduces Solomon’s remarks by saying the situation is “getting uglier” and frames it as a shift from a purported administrative mistake to a more deliberate act, after a vendor response.

In the clip, Solomon says the New Jersey governor admitted that 6,600 “illegal aliens” were added to the state’s voter rolls and that 400 “actually cast a vote”. Solomon reports that the governor attributed the problem to a “software glitch”, but he claims his outlet contacted the software company behind the system and was told there was “no software glitch at all”. Solomon further alleges that the company said New Jersey “knew they were putting non-citizens onto the voter roles” and that determining eligibility is the state’s responsibility.

After the clip, Bongino speculates about timing, saying he is “reasonably confident” it is “not coincidental” and suggests other “blue states” may try to “beat the news cycle” with a preferred explanation. He closes by arguing that even “hundreds” of illegal votes could matter in tight elections.

No documents, direct evidence, or on-record response from New Jersey officials or the software vendor are provided within this excerpt beyond Solomon’s account.
