NJ gov race results delayed after vote-counting snafu hits key county

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.

There could still be several Bags-o-Ballots™ in the trunk of someone’s car that were “misplaced”.

I’ve known Chris personally for a long time (I’ve known is wife’s family my whole life). He’s a straight shooter. I don’t know how many honest people are in Essex, but he’s one of them.

I had to sign twice.  First, with pen on a paper slip and then again on a tablet screen with a stylus.  At one point in the process, 2 of my signatures popped up on the screen for comparison.   Presumably, one was the signature they had on file.

I was not asked to show ID, although a poll worker at the check-in table asked the woman in front of me if she had ID.  I wasn't paying attention to their conversation to know why she was asked.

Pretty much; the snafu is when those ‘extra found ballots’ hadn’t shown up yet.

The vote counting SNAFU was that there weren’t enough Democrat votes in the initial count. They needed to “find” more ballots.

Buying a judge’s cooperation is apparently easy in NJ.The state of lawlessness in NJ and America is almost astonishing, then I remeber that power corrupts absolutely.

If search works so well then why is its failure the most common complaint (except for HG’s behavior) by Freepers?

So what is it Essex County only or other counties also. Are all of the counties with problems democrat counties?

So, like if there's a power failure, they have no way to recover?
