New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) has clinched a second term after defeating former state Assembleyman Jack Ciattarelli (R) in the state’s unexpectedly tight gubernatorial contest.

Murphy beat back Ciattarelli in a race that polls had shown slightly narrowed in the final few weeks of the campaign. While, New Jersey’s blue hue proved too deep for Ciattarelli to overcome, the former state lawmaker ran far ahead of expectations, holding a lead over Murphy for much of Tuesday night before falling slightly behind in the early morning hours on Wednesday.

This means Ciattarelli won. I hope he’s a fighter as his ads proclaim him is.

A little premature but admittedly it isn’t looking good. Murphy is up by almost 20,000 votes and those outstanding are mail-in votes that tend to favor the Democrat anyway.

I would actually lose some respect for NJ democrats if they couldn’t “pull” this one out.

Those “early morning hours” seem to be critical hours—always favoring the Commies.

"holding a lead over Murphy for much of Tuesday night before falling slightly behind in the early morning hours on Wednesday."

What a surprise. If you are not 10 or more points ahead at 9:00 pm those early morning Democrat votes are going to get you.

It’s a long game to reclaim our country. Leftists have had 40 years to wreck it.

Next time the Republicans need to run a bona fide member of the mob.

NJ is a cheating contest, not an election.

Seeing that it’s New Jersey, generally acknowledged to be one of the most liberal and corrupt states, I’m surprised it was even close.

What’s this about 40,000 Democrat votes appearing out of nowhere in Bergen County? Any truth to this?

So that’s it? How do we know a few of the Dem fraudsters won’t be caught?

Maybe after some are persuaded with advanced intensive interrogation techniques to tell the secrets.

I volunteer to work for free as a patriotic act. I am a sinner, too.

Romans 3:10 As it is written: “There is no one righteous, not even one. “

Psalms 14:3
“All have turned away, all have become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.”

Genesis 5

“The LORD saw how great man’s wickedness on the earth had become, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all the time.”

Notice how easy the Democraps win when there is a problem with the voting machines?

Damn.
Just enough corruption and fraud to win, in Joisey.
