New Jersey Identifies 6,600 Noncitizens Improperly Registered to Vote

This event describes a state government proactively identifying and correcting a software/administrative error that led to a small number of noncitizens (6,600, later clarified to ~400 actual votes cast) being registered. There is no evidence of intentional voter suppression, rights denial, or institutional capture; rather, this is standard election administration self-correction, which is a governance strength signal, not a constitutional harm. A-score drivers are minimal (only slight election/rule_of_law/civil_rights ticks for the underlying data integrity issue), and severity/mechanism/scope modifiers reduce it further, yielding a final A well below 25. On the B side, while the topic (noncitizen voting) has outrage-bait potential and could be weaponized in broader election-fraud narratives, the reporting here is factual, syndicated near-identically across outlets (suggesting wire pickup rather than organic hype cycle), and lacks strong intentionality indicators (no coordinated messaging push, no timing tied to political event). Both scores fall below the 25 threshold, and the presence of self-correcting/routine administrative indicators combined with low A-score supports classification as Noise.
