New Jersey's U.S. attorney wants to make changes to how elections run here by launching an Election Integrity Task Force.

In an announcement this week, interim U.S. attorney Alina Habba, who was appointed by President Trump, said the task force will be made up of prosecutors from her office, who will work alongside with the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and other agencies to remove ineligible people from state voter lists and investigate and prosecute election crimes.

Now, those can include voting by noncitizens, casting fraudulent ballots and voting multiple times, among other things.

These are all directives from an executive order signed by the president last month, parts of which have been put on hold by a judge, who noted that it's states who have jurisdiction over elections.

That executive order also requires voters to show proof of citizenship before casting a ballot and bars election officials from accepting mail-in ballots received after Election Day.

Attorney General Matt Platkin is part of a multi-state lawsuit against the executive order, arguing the White House is making an unconstitutional attempt to control elections.
