The claim that IDEMIA says its records show all 6,600 individuals answered 'no' to the citizenship question at the Motor Vehicle Commission is supported. Multiple outlets report IDEMIA making exactly this statement, and the governor's account and the Riemer statement also say the individuals answered 'no'. IDEMIA disputes that its software caused the registrations, which the claim does not address.
The played clip relays this claim without endorsing it. It counts as passed on, not against the post.
What was said
… Well, Edemia ain't playing along. Company officials there are telling reporters that the data was never wrong at all, and they have proof. All 6,600 records, they say, show these individuals, these non-citizens, clearly answering no to the citizenship question when they were asked point blank, Are you a citizen? At the at the motor vehicles, and to their credit, they all put no, and yet somehow they ended up being registered as yes as citizens when it came to the voter roll. Now, what does that mean? Is that a now, that's not a computer glitch. What is it? That's human interference. …
The Rob Carson Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. IDEMIA spokesperson Lisa Shoemaker said that 'All 6,600 individuals indicated Yes to wanting to register to vote and NO to being a US Citizen', and that this information was recorded correctly.[5][6]
Supports. The House Judiciary Committee letter and the Riemer written statement report that the 6,600 individuals answered 'no' to the citizenship question when applying for licenses or IDs at the Motor Vehicle Commission, and that IDEMIA publicly denied its software caused the improper registrations.[3][4]
Supports. Reuters reports that New Jersey said about 6,600 non-citizens were added to voter rolls between June 2023 and June 2024 even though they answered 'no' when asked about citizenship while applying for licenses and IDs.[1]
Context. IDEMIA's account of the 'no' answers is consistent with the state's own description of the same records, though the two sides dispute who caused the registrations: the governor blames a software error by the vendor, while IDEMIA says the state had the data and registered the individuals anyway.[6][7][8]
Context. The factcheck.org piece disputes the scale of non-citizen voting (about 400 votes against Trump's 'thousands'), which concerns voting magnitude and not what IDEMIA said about its records.[2]
