Following accusations of widespread fraud, voter intimidation, and ballot theft in the May 12 municipal elections in Paterson, N.J., state Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal (pictured) announced Thursday he is charging four men with voter fraud – including the vice president of the City Council and a candidate for that body.
With races still undecided, control of the council hangs in the balance. Paterson is New Jersey’s third largest city and the election will decide the fate of a municipal budget in excess of $300 million, in addition to hundreds of millions more in education spending and state aid.
In the City Council election, 16,747 vote-by-mail ballots were received, but only 13,557 votes were counted. More than 3,190 votes, 19% of the total ballots cast, were disqualified by the board of elections. Due to the pandemic, Paterson’s election was done through vote-by-mail. Community organizations, such as the city’s NAACP chapter, are calling for the entire election to be invalidated.
Mail-in ballots have long been acknowledged by voting experts to be more susceptible to fraud and irregularities than in-person voting. This has raised concerns from President Trump and other Republicans about the integrity of national elections in November, which are expected to include a dramatic increase in mail-in ballots. If Paterson is any guide, it ought to concern Democrats as well.
Over 800 ballots in Paterson were invalidated for appearing in mailboxes improperly bundled together – including a one mailbox where hundreds of ballots were in a single packet. The bundles were turned over to law enforcement to investigate potential criminal activity related to the collection of the ballots.
The board of elections disqualified another 2,300 ballots after concluding that the signatures on them did not match the signatures on voter records.

Oh let me guess. The fraudulent ones were for Republicans...oh wait, I’m hallucinating again.
Did you request a ballot application or did it just show up? Not the ballot, but the request form for a ballot. This is where the biggest cheating IMHO will begin. They are flooding mailboxes with ballot applications.
November?! Heh. You better have it NOW because the shelves here have been empty for weeks already and it sells out the day it comes in.
If you ain't waiting out in the parking lot at one of the local gun shops waiting for ammo to come in, you ain't getting any.
I didn’t know that. The only guns I have that has lots of ammo is my SKS and my pump action Remington shotgun. The rest may be in want.
That is a very informative article, thamks. But my very cynical self says that the AG’s bombastic statement (...we will find you...) reeks of “see how easy that was? You’re safe in our hands.” Are we to believe that really skilled operatives would make the error of sending hundreds of ballots to two mailboxes? And how hard will faking bearer names in the ballot harvesting operation be?
This thing looks like a trial run and/or a disinformation campaign.
You’d think in a rational world this would be the end of mail-in voting.

“try?”
Since we’ve been using the sign by finger on the apple ipads here in Ohio, none of our signatures match our true signatures when we wrote our names in the books.
Works the same in WIsconsin
DRY RUN for November!!
Interesting statistics.
I wonder if that is true everywhere there are mail-in ballots?

THE VOTING SYSTEM COMING TO YOU SOON ....

Thay's on their way. Um Humm.
They meant it is rare for them to get caught, not that fraud is rare.
I would guess that may be common across the states. With the
mobility of people today it makes it harder to keep accurate data
Some states issue a new voter card every 2 year cycle and it isn’t
supposed to be forwarded. Thus returned for further action. Now
what the further action is can determine accuracy.
“Can Trump issue an executive order making it illegal to send out ballot application forms...”
Well, it may be that at some point in time drastic measures must be taken. Complete all ballots that are sent to you and submit them. Why should we restrict ourselves to following rules that don’t apply to everyone?
IF the election is stolen, what is next?
WHEN the election is stolen, what is next?
There, I fixed it for you. (Your title, not the election.)
If you are right and I have no reason to think otherwise, what the dickens CAN Trump do?
