Amid one of the most hotly contested presidential elections in generations — and one in which the Republican presidential candidate has claimed that the balloting process if “rigged” — thousands of New Jersey voters are at risk of not having their votes counted in November.
Clerks in at least three Republican-heavy counties have reported that hundreds of mail-in ballots were erroneously returned to voters instead of being delivered to the county election boards.
The problem is with new Post Office equipment that was unable to properly read the mailing address on some — but not all — ballot envelopes mailed by voters.
Voters and county election officials began noticing the problem in late September, prompting counties to send out subsequent batches of newly designed mail-in ballots with an updated envelope barcode that postal officials say would prevent the error.
According to Somerset County Clerk Brett Radi, postal officials told him that post office workers were instructed to keep an eye out for mail-in ballots and to place them in a new envelope with the proper election board address rather than returning them to voters. But on Tuesday, Radi said he spoke to a voter who received a returned ballot that she had mailed on Friday. “I am extremely concerned that this happened,” said Radi. Radi is especially worried about voters who “put those ballots in good faith in the mail before going out of the state” for vacation or other reason. Those voters may not discover until after the election that their ballots were returned — and then it will be too late.

Key words: Republican-heavy counties ...
And “erroneously”
Yep...That too....
This is not an accident it occurred in Republican-heavy areas.
Now,
imagine if what the uniparty press spin response, and liberal politician response, would be to this story if it were democrat-heavy areas this occurred in.
“... Those voters may not discover until after the election that their ballots were returned — and then it will be too late...”
Unless they were democrat ballots....
I guess the Republicans are not going to do anything about it, so it will be up to us WE THE PEOPLE!!!
Yea, they programmed their mail sending script to identify registered republican addresses and those ballots sent to the return to sender box. The democrat registered addresses went on to the election boards.
When they get their ballots back they need to take them to the Elections office personally. Bypass the USPS......all the way!
I never mail my ballot in.
“I guess the Republicans are not going to do anything about it, so it will be up to us WE THE PEOPLE!!!”
And what do YOU THE PEOPLE think should be done, Vinny?
And so it begins...
“And what do YOU THE PEOPLE think should be done, Vinny?”
I recommend starting at your tagline.

Oh boy.
Creamer...”Make sure that Somerset, Hunterdon and Monmouth Counties get the ballot envelopes that will be returned to sender. We’ll really F**K those Republicans this time!!”
If only O’Keefe had THIS on tape. You KNOW in your heart it’s real — this is no accident.
“Begins”??? You been asleep for 50 years or so?
“Begins” — Snort!
other reasons like to go to Florida and vote again?
No, but there's times I wish I had been.
It’s only the votes for Trump that government workers refuse to count.
so, post offices in three counties all returned ballots? There was no one in any of those facilities who stopped to ask, why are we doing this?
New Jersey is closer than people think. Obama/Biden bumper stickers and lawn signs were everywhere and my kid’s classmates were Obama zombies. Now, I have a hard time finding any Hillary bumper stickers or signs and my kid’s class mates think trump is a “bad ass”. Anecdotal evidence to be sure, but there are no signs of a blowout. Trump won’t take Jersey, but it will be close. If it is close here, I think it bodes well elsewhere.
