Will the New Jersey voter registration glitch erode elections confidence?
The New Jersey voter registration issue gave Republicans a gift in the election fight.
A software glitch in a Motor Vehicle Commission system allowed about 6,600 people who are not U.S. citizens to register to vote.
Some 400 individuals voted in at least one election. And House Republicans piled on, using the information to drive support to pass the Save America Act.
Rachel Cobb, an elections analyst with Suffolk University, joined us on The Morning Show to discuss the potential fallout and whether it will erode voter confidence.
