Multiple tier1 and tier2 sources (AP, Reuters, Washington Post, NBC, CNN, Politico, NPR) report Gov. Mikie Sherrill saying fewer than 400 (nearly 400) of about 6,600 erroneously registered noncitizens cast ballots in New Jersey elections from 2023-2024.
The host relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.

The Dan Bongino Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. AP, Reuters, and CNN report that the governor said fewer than 400 (nearly 400) of the roughly 6,600 erroneously registered noncitizens went on to cast ballots.[1][2][5]
Supports. Washington Post and NBC News both report that around 400 noncitizens cast ballots in New Jersey elections from 2023 to 2024, per the governor's review.[6][7]
Context. FactCheck.org characterizes the 400-vote figure as the state's preliminary finding and says it was too small to change any federal election outcome; Trump's 'thousands of votes' claim was the overstatement, not the state's figure.[3]
Context. Snopes notes Sherrill's figure of fewer than 400 cast ballots is the governor's own preliminary analysis, and that Trump and Mullin offered no evidence for their higher numbers.[4]
Context. The extraction matches the post's passage ('nearly 400 cast ballots, governor says'), so the claim is faithful to what the post reported.
