An attorney who is a close friend in New Jersey just called me. He has voted in the same location in Monmouth County for 32 years.
They are requiring ALL persons who show up to vote to complete provisional ballots, telling them to leave many boxes blank.
He called the county elections office and was told that the NJ Governor issued a rule that ALL IN PERSON VOTING MUST FILL OUT PROVISIONAL BALLOTS. No using voting machines.
This takes much longer and is difficult for many people.
Sounds like voter suppression.
This has been this way since the primary. Nothing new. Murphy wants complete absolute control.
I can understand how the Governor might be able to force the use of provisional ballots, corrupt as it may be. But, how can anyone be instructed to leave portions of the ballot blank?
There was less corruption in NJ when the Mafia and the Teamsters ran it.
WTF?
Should your title of your thread be changed to “No Surprise”?
Agree.
This is also done to delay counting.
All paper ballots will take forever.
Nothing our bucktoothed moron governor does surprises me.
We hand-delivered our mail in votes to our county board of elections last week.
Filled out completely.
We live in a conservative corner of NJ. It’s been a Republican stronghold for my whole life. But it’s changing. City dwellers are moving in, and bringing their city habits and city politics with them, with no understanding that their political viewpoints - in action - are what led them to flee the city in the first place.
We’re getting out of this fetid sewer of a state as soon as we can.
Every registered voter in NJ got a ballot in the mail on 10/3. There is no in person voting, unless you are handicapped. All ballots were to be mailed in OR dropped off a the county election boards. I brought mine to the county office. Also provisional ballots will NOT be counted until the very end.
That is voter suppression.
I'm feeling like this is a case of people not reading the mail in ballots to figure out what der governor has dictated.
Sucks, yes. Rampant opportunity for fraud, absolutely. But not a surprise, unless people just haven't been paying attention.
Yep. In the last couole of days the CT and MA guvs announced new lockdowns, no doubt looking to scare away elderly in-person voters who lean GOP.
NJ is a corrupt State.
Actually the vote by mail put a big crimp on the Democrats most effective fraud tactic. In urban areas the Democratic thugs would take over a precinct, close it to the public for a while, sign hundreds of voter logs and then pull levers on the machines for the Democrats. Republicans have noted that often fewer than a hundred voters entered the prescinct all day but when they tallied the votes , the machines recorded over 700 votes for the Democrat. Not sure the fraudster thugs have fully figured out how to rig the new system to that extent. You may be pleasantly suprised when the votes are counted in New Jersey.
You’re attorney friend must have been in a coma for the past few months.
Who didn’t know this already? No voting in person, that’s why the crooks sent out ballots to as many dead as possible.
Don’t let the rest of the country become New Jersey. Vote Republican.
That’s how Murphy set up the rules. No voting machines at polling locations. You can do a paper provisional or drop off the ballot you were mailed.
