NJ gov race results delayed after vote-counting snafu hits key county
NY Post ^ | November 3, 2021 3:32pm | Callie Patteson

The New Jersey governor’s race is still up in the air thanks to vote-counting debacles plaguing several counties — including in a key area where dozens of machines were shut down before ballots were counted.

A mistake by a poll worker led machines in 56 voting districts in Essex County, the state’s second-most populated region, to be turned off before their ballots were tallied, local election officials said.

The flub has helped throw a wrench into calling the stunningly tight race between Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy and GOP foe Jack Ciattarelli.

“Those machines have to be brought back to the warehouse, and the judge will issue an order for us to open those machines, retrieve the results and post those results,’’ County Clerk Christopher Durkin told News 12.

He told The Post on Wednesday that he expects to have the districts’ results by Thursday night.

“The sooner, the better,” Durkin said.

The county voted heavily Democratic in the 2020 presidential election.

Murphy had been comfortably leading in the polls going into Election Day, only to have Ciattarelli narrow the gap between them to as few as 465 votes statewide at one point Wednesday.

Fixed.

Just a “flub”, a “glitch”, a “bug” in the system. No doubt about it.

He lost so whatever. Murphy could win by one vote and he will double down on lockdowns and dictatorship. Jack ran a crud campaign and insulted his own voters. He failed to call Murphy the dictator POS that he is.

Republicans did not kick arse in NJ by riding Jack’s coattails. No no. New activist, courageous candidates stood up for school board, state legislature, township counsel, etc and ran the campaigns that Jack refused to run. He rode their wave.

In the past, when I voted, I signed their little book, where it had an image of my signature, and I had to sign immediately below it. It was pretty easy to catch someone forging.

When I voted yesterday, not only was I not asked for ID (they haven't asked for ID in years), but the book I signed did not have any signature image for comparison. I could literally have been anyone who knows my name and address, because that's all they asked for.

I actually know him personally. Known him for a couple decades. Privately he’s more conservative than he lets on but he can’t say it publicly in Essex.

Ballot counting is complicated here in NJ.
It's hard to know ahead of time how many you'll need to win and besides, there are some pretty big cemeteries in Essex county and you wouldn't want to deny the dearly departed their right to vote

I had to sign a pad and I saw that when it was turned to the poll worker my signature image was there for the worker to see.

Funny how it’s always a “snafu, flub, mistake” in RAT controlled cities.

Complete audits for EVERY election form here on out. Otherwise, this shit will continue.

There are often times when I want to ask him, “Why in blazes are you a Dem?” but the answer is obvious: it’s Essex.

That sort of pragmatism can cut both ways. I hope he just calls it straight.

We’ll have to audit this election, too. Regardless of outcome.
