A week after Hurricane Sandy struck New Jersey, the state is still struggling to recover. Hundreds of thousands are still without power, thousands are displaced from their homes and basic food, water and gasoline are scarce. Despite Obama's promise to leverage the full resources of the federal government and cut through "red tape," the state largely will still be a disaster area on Tuesday, when voters nationwide go to the polls. So, the Christie Administration has announced that people will be able to cast their ballots by e-mail or fax on Tuesday. What could possibly go wrong?

I think I'll start with San Diego county ~ without San Diego!
Good, we can all vote in NJ.
Now, if only our overseas military could vote this way. Any interest in them, Mr. Christie?????
Moderators, please consider this reply as a vote for Romney and forward it to my county clerk in Middlesex County as required.

Are you going to spam that graphic on every thread? Enough already.
New Jersey is going to go to Obama, but this is rather asinine. Does he now suggest all states affected by the storm allow their citizens to vote by email or fax?
Does this guy even think AT ALL?
The wheels fall of some of his counties, and he just melts down politically. Grow a pair Christie.
I swear there is a self-destruct gene in Republicans with leadership positions.
It would be really funny though if a bunch of conservatives ran with the Democrat playbook and stole the election in New Jersey. Suddenly, voter fraud would no longer be an issue that only conservatives care about.
It's not going to happen, but I can dream.
But only once, we have standards.
Judas
Christie better not be giving ideas to Ohio and PA with this.
There should be a true record be it this method or voting machines.
Why not just declare NJ for Obama already and Christie can collect his billion$ from Obama;s stash already. Why the circus?
Not every, but I’m trying.
Is there a magic number I should be aware of?
Fortunately the electoral college balances against this type of stupidity....at NJ can’t hurt too much and it isn’t as if Romney was going to win there....but really EMAIL and FAX when phone and power are out......And that doesn’t even address the idea of fraud and abuse....what a lunatic. Chris has eaten too many Krispy Kreme his brain is mush
Oh, you can guaran-damn-tee it that Obama's army of lawyers are in PA, New York, CT, and every state hit by the hurricane right now petitioning sympathetic judges demanding these very things.
Christie has shown just how much of a bum he is, trying to help Obama into the White House because Romney reportedly changed his mind about having Christie on the ticket as VP. Christie’s full day of butt kissing Obama during the Sandy aftermath was disgraceful. Christie thinks more of “revenge” and his own self-importance than the well-being of the US. He’s a f”””””” BUM!
The history books are going to have a hey day with all of this. But sadly we will all have to deal with the aftermath of all of this beginning in a few short days and then beyond for the rest of our lives passing on the wreckage to our children and their descendants. I truly hope that the results of this election will make us proud of our deeds .... and not ashamed that we gave all of the God given freedom and greatness without even a fight.
Fingers crossed ..... the destiny of this nation may well be decided in a mere 48 short hours. That is ... barring any politically corrupt chicanery of course.
This would work best with self-serve banks.
This is going to set a very dangerous precedent if Romney doesn’t win and change/”defrauditize” the voting process nationally.
Can you imagine that fat ass coming to Ohio as a presidential candidate? Crickets.

I can see the Headlines now!
300,000,000,000 people vote in New Jersey for the Dear leader!
Christie is looking like a bigger idiot all the time.
bigger
*snicker*
Yes, he better not...
If NJ goes 90/10 for Obama, it matters no more than if NJ goes 51/49 for Obama.
Of course, if someone can make the case that NJ was about to go 51/49 for Romney before Christie let ACORN take it, then it might be interesting. But I'm pretty sure Romney needs NJ about as much as he needs DC.
In any case, it will be an interesting experiment. We'll have at least a couple of years to sort it out.
FWIW, NJ had this system in place already for the military, and are just extending it to displaced residents. In other words, what they are doing is offering the overseas military voting system to civilians.
LoL seriously this move greatly diminishes my respect for Governor Christie. Any man who would sacrificial election integrity simply to increase voter turnout is indeed a dangerous man indeed.
While this is not a legitimate issue in a federal election campaign it is indisputably an issue of great concern in a state campaign. Assuming you can still have a legitimate state campaign under such rules.

I think you we would find it more educational to deliberately throw their election. The Democrats may not care about election integrity everywhere else, but if they lose a state over the issue then maybe they will start caring.
On that note it might be wise for conservative to help throw the New Jersey election. It is not like it matters this time. Christie needs to have his head examined if he thinks this move is justifiable. He is letting his emotional sympathy for deaster victims overwrite his judgement and make real victims of the entire states population.
(PS: People without power can’t email or fax.)

Are there any safeguards?
I think there are very weak safeguards. I’m not saying it is a good idea at all, just that the military did have access.
