In New Jersey's senatorial campaign, Republican candidate Tom Kean Jr.'s aides are charging that opponents "already have resorted to Election Day dirty tricks."
Last night, vandals chained shut the Kean campaign's headquarters in Mountainside, N.J., and broke keys off in the door locks to prevent entry, according to aides. "It's Jersey ... this is not surprising," Kean spokeswoman Jill Hazelbaker told us. "It's the Menendez campaign, or their supporters," she added, but without offering evidence.
"It's just a lot of noise," was the response from campaign aides for Democratic incumbent Bob Menendez. They say they have "thousands" of lawyers at polling places across the site, especially where they expect problems - such as Essex and Hudson County, two big urban Democratic areas.
Menendez's folks are checking out a report of electronic voting problems in Essex County, where voting machines are reportedly defaulting to certain candidates rather than voters' choices.

Really good tomatoes.
if we had a more aggressive DOJ, that would have been the only hope. Toricelli could have been indicted, Menendez too - but no, they went after Weldon instead.
Some may shrug it off and say "It's New Jersey -- what do you expect."
I say -- what goes around comes around.
did you say anything to the poll workers? did you report it?
They needed to be frog marched out of the building in orange jumpsuits, IMO

"Why does anyone want to live in New Jersey?"
Why does someone always clog up a NJ thread with an inane and ignorant question ?
There was a Kean staffer inside. He noticed the chains on the door at 4:45 am, and called police because he was locked inside.
If there was a fire, he would have been in a life threatening situation.
When another company came to their doors in the same building and noticed the keys broken off in the doors, THEY called the police.
Then the police came out and cut the chains.
3 hours later!
That's NJ for you!
Because its where the "NY GIANTS" play!
"Why does anyone want to live in New Jersey?"
We don't have to pump our gasoline.
...and the pizza
Sorry if you were offended. It was a goodnatured teasing by a Pennsylvania neighbor.
I have many wonderful friends and relatives in New Jersey. They stay there because of the many things mentioned here: proximity to NYC; good tomatoes; superior pizza, and the best bagels outside of Brooklyn. Oh, yes--and the shore. But don't go in the water! ;)
The voters in N.J. deserve whatever they get.
No problem. Sorry to snap at you. We're all on the same team.
PS. I love PA and its fine people.
No need, my wife simply refused the suggested (clearing throat) choice of Menendez and did not vote that way.
Peace, brother.
Unfortunately they mostly move to PA and bring their voting habits (among other things) with them.
Every election some Dem conducts a drive-by shooting of an RNC headquarters. Get out the word to our people to stay vigilant and stay safe. The Dem SS is on the prowl tonight.
Maybe we could make a trade with Canada.
New Jersey is much like Ontario, and would fit in well, while Alberta is much like Montana, so let's trade and make everyone happy.
