Prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney's Office will make up the Election Integrity Task Force.
The group will work with the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security and other agencies to remove ineligible people from voter lists, prosecute those who commit election crimes and make sure voter list maintenance requirements are in compliance with the National Voter Registration Act and the Help America Vote Act, Habba said in a news release. Said election crimes include casting of fraudulent ballots, voting by non-citizens, individuals voting multiple times in same election, and foreign interference caused by foreign nationals contributing or donating funds to United States elections. "We and our federal partners are committed to ensuring the integrity of elections here in the District of New Jersey and making sure that the administration of all elections is in compliance with federal law," Habba said.
"The Election Integrity Task Force will take all appropriate steps to achieve that integrity and will vigorously pursue anyone who violates or attempts to violate federal laws designed to safeguard elections."
