President Trump’s reelection campaign asked a federal judge Wednesday to prevent New Jersey election officials from counting mail-in ballots beginning 10 days ahead of Election Day until a lawsuit is settled.
“The public interest obviously weighs in favor of enjoining the government from violating federal law,” lawyers representing the president’s campaign said in the Wednesday brief, according to the New Jersey Globe. “Confidence in the integrity of our electoral processes is essential to the functioning of our participatory democracy. Voter fraud drives honest citizens out of the democratic process and breeds distrust of our government. Voters who fear their legitimate votes will be outweighed by fraudulent ones will feel disenfranchised.”
The campaign is also seeking to bar mail-in ballots without a postmark from being accepted up to two days before Election Day, Politico reported.
The campaign sued in August after Gov. Phil Murphy ordered that all active voters should be sent a mail-in ballot. Despite the lawsuit, the campaign did not file to temporarily block Murphy’s order.

There's a snag at the polling center, though - the clerk says he already voted, it's marked on the voter rolls, and he won't be allowed to vote.
Joe says no, I never did that, here's my ID to prove who I am. Someone voted using my name, I demand you destroy that forgery and let me cast my vote NOW.
Sorry about that, Joe - your mailin vote was opened and counted ten days ago. There's no way to tell which ballot was yours, now that it's out of the envelope (if they could, it wouldn't be a SECRET ballot, would it?).
So you see we can't invalidate that vote, and can't let you vote twice, now, can we? You're welcome to one of these "I Voted" stickers, though...
NJ refused to count the republican Primary votes. didn’t want DJT to show any support.
So you see we can’t invalidate that vote, and can’t let you vote twice, now, can we? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Dems will be encouraged to vote twice.
