In New Jersey, a quiet malfunction within the state's voter registration technology allowed roughly 6,600 noncitizens to be added to the electoral rolls over three years before anyone noticed. Governor Mikie Sherrill's disclosure this week reminds us that the integrity of democratic infrastructure depends not only on human vigilance against bad actors, but on the reliability of the systems we trust to do the watching for us. The incident invites a sober reckoning with how much unseen machinery underlies the act of self-governance — and how long its failures can go unexamined.
