Mikie Sherrill blamed it for allowing non-citizens to register to vote holds three multimillion-dollar contracts with the state of New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=3201\">Philadelphia is hosting a \u2018National Treasure\u2019 weekend<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Besides the contract with the state Motor Vehicle Commission that is at the center of the voter registration debacle, the company, Idemia, also holds contracts to handle fingerprinting for the New Jersey State Police and a third one to provide fingerprinting, background searches, and other services for various state agencies, state records show.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>State taxpayers have paid the company about $61.1 million so far total, the records show.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>A spokesman for Gov. Mikie Sherrill, who said last week that her administration is moving to terminate Idemia\u2019s contract with the motor vehicle agency, declined to say whether the other two contracts are in jeopardy. Idemia, which has denied responsibility for registering non-citizens, did not respond to a request for comment.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Assemblywoman Dawn Fantasia (R-Sussex), who is among the Republicans who has called for a bipartisan legislative committee to investigate the voter registration matter, said it doesn\u2019t make sense for the Sherrill administration to target only Idemia\u2019s contract with the Motor Vehicle Commission.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cIf Idemia really was the problem here and lost the state\u2019s confidence, why would we be concerned with that and not actual background checks?\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sherrill last week announced that about 6,600 non-citizens had been added to the state voter rolls for a year starting in June 2023 because of what she called a software glitch on Idemia\u2019s part. She said non-citizens who were prompted at the agency to say whether they were citizens would respond no, but the software identified them as citizens anyway. About 400 of them cast ballots, she said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sherrill said Thursday that the motor vehicle commissioner had moved to end Idemia\u2019s work with the agency because the company \u201cwas at the heart\u201d of the agency\u2019s failures.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cThe commissioner was already in the process of removing them for their incompetence,\u201d Sherrill said.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Idemia\u2019s contract to assist with enhanced driver\u2019s licenses was issued in January 2010 and ends in January 2027. It has been paid $35.7 million so far, records show.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=3199\">FDR Park launches information desk at new Welcome Center<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>It also holds a contract with the State Police related to an electronic fingerprinting system, a contract that started in January 2019, runs through January 2027, and has cost the state roughly $3.8 million so far, the records show.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Another contract that began in May 2019 and expires in May 2027 allows Idemia to provide electronic fingerprinting for background checks and other \u201cnoncriminal justice purposes\u201d for agencies across state government. New Jersey has spent about $21.6 million on that contract to date, the records show.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Fantasia thinks moving to sever Idemia\u2019s contract now would be a mistake. She said she does not believe Sherrill\u2019s story that the 6,600 non-citizens were registered because of a software error.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cWithout an investigation, I think we\u2019re setting ourselves up for a serious lawsuit,\u201d Fantasia said. \u201cIf the flag we\u2019re carrying is we\u2019re getting rid of them because of this software glitch, that has yet to be proven. That\u2019s an assertion by the governor. The vendor denies it. So to me, that\u2019s hardly irrefutable evidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The company is also a contractor with the federal government. Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a Democrat, last week requested a government-wide audit of every federal contract involving Idemia, suggesting there could be a deeper problem as the company \u201csits at the center of the federal government\u2019s identity, screening, and border infrastructure.\u201d He pointed to contracts for TSA PreCheck, U.S. Customs and Border Protection\u2019s biometric entry-exit system, and identity operations at the U.S. Department of Defense, including contracts with driver\u2019s license systems in 36 states.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>\u201cA \u2018small\u2019 software issue like what happened in New Jersey could, right now, be allowing improperly vetted individuals to enter our airports and board our airplanes,\u201d Gottheimer told federal budget officials last week.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Sherrill has blamed the administration of her predecessor, Phil Murphy (D), in addition to Idemia because the problem started when he was governor. Sherrill took office in January.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>Murphy spokesman Mahen Gunaratna said Friday that Murphy was unaware of this issue before Sherrill brought it to light this week.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The registration matter has drawn national attention, including criticism from President Donald Trump. The Trump administration is suing New Jersey over the state\u2019s refusal to hand over unredacted voter roll information. U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has alleged that more than 35,000 noncitizens are registered to vote in New Jersey.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/corporate-movers-usa.com\/?p=3197\">Police vetted dubious allegation only after Buttigieg was separated from children<\/a><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><i>Dana DiFilippo contributed reporting.<\/i><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><i>This story originally appeared on <\/i><i>New Jersey Monitor<\/i><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Idemia also holds contracts to handle fingerprinting for the New Jersey State Police and one to provide fingerprinting, background searches, and other services for various agencies, records show.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3202,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14,2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3203","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-new-jersey","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
