Not so fast: Ciattarelli campaign says decision to call NJ governor's race for Democrat Phil Murphy was 'irresponsible' with only 1% separating them and raises the specter of recount and legal challenge
Daily Mail ^ | 4 Nov 21

Posted on 11/04/2021 4:40:54 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Republican Jack Ciattarelli's campaign on Wednesday slammed The Associated Press for 'irresponsibly' calling Democrat Phil Murphy the winner of New Jersey's incredibly close gubernatorial race, as an unknown number of ballots remain to be counted.

The news outlet called the race just before 6:30 p.m. Wednesday when Murphy led Ciattarelli by a razor-thin margin of 50 percent to 49.2 percent.

'With the candidates separated by a fraction of a percent out of 2.4 million ballots cast, it's irresponsible of the media to make this call when the New Jersey Secretary of State doesn't even know how many ballots are left to be counted,' Ciattarelli Campaign Communications Director Stami Williams tweeted just 20 minutes after the declaration.

Ciattarelli retweeted Williams' post in protest of the call.

“”slammed The Associated Press for ‘irresponsibly’ calling Democrat Phil Murphy the winner””

And why is the AP a sanctioned election arbiter of NJ elections?
How did they get such certification; not from We The People.
Yet, NJ residents just follow along.

Damn, y’all.
This is THE FRIGGIN PRESS \circumventing\ our election process.
they aren’t concerned with the number of votes, they just “call ‘em as they WANT ‘em”.
Just stop giving them this authority.
Ask the Election Board why they just “go along” with what the press says.

Be an American, FFS.

I suspect there was a lot of Dem cheating in this election. I hope there is a recount and if Ciattarelli sets up a gofundme to pay for it I will contribute.

Jack is having his “learning moment”.

When it is all over (however it ends) he should offer his humble apology to President Trump:

“You were right. I was stupid. I get it. You will have my unwavering support going forward.”

Tie it up in the courts. Organize “mostly peaceful” protests. Make life miserable for the other side. Live Free or Die!

"Murphy led Ciattarelli by a razor-thin margin of 50 percent to 49.2 percent."

Dems and their media sycophants will call this a, "sweeping mandate from the people."

I had to laugh as I read the headline, and thought “Hey, where has this guy been the past 365 days???”

“I hope there is a recount”

NO!! Not a recount! What is needed is a forensic audit.

All a recount does is count the same ballots already counted without an examination to determine if they are even legal ballots.

tells me you know NOTHING. You’re just spouting your thoughts which are wrong. NJ got lots of good or best we could do in this race people elected tuesday. NJ people are fighting back but apparently it makes you feel better to think your view is correct. enjoy your self delusion.

Ciattarelli needs to stand up, open his mouth and raise hell.

Don’t be scared.

Remember, this is Jersey.

But he won't.

He is GOPe.

Jerk gave the green light for them to dump 41k votes in Bergen county after 100% of precincts reported.

So sick of these limp wristed dipshits. He won and will be happy with a srcond place medal.

Find out how Bergen County added 40,000 votes to Murphy at 1:54 AM on election night and maybe you’ll figure things out.

Yes, I could see the Republican capitulation on the board yesterday morning. As the 70 y/o cat ladies were celebrating Virginia, the left was stealing Jersey. A half a loaf is good enough for them.

maybe Jacks email or phone needs a bunch of people contacing him and saying seriously fight this! if al people do is say”he won’t” and they do nothing more, then THEY are part of the problem and not doing their part as citizens to push for accountability!

wake up to your own responsibilty in this!!

I already submitted screen shotsof oddities - do what you can too!

Correct. A forensic audit. A recount usually ends up in the dem favor as they always find additional boxes of fraudulent dem ballots to count. I am certain the cemetery vote has put Murphy back in power.

I did not expect Jack to win and despite being a very, very lukewarm supporter of his, he far exceeded my expectations on election night. The typical NJ shenanigans took place, particularly in The Democrat strongholds of Hudson and Essex counties which miscounted or recounted due to “errors”. Bergen county had a mysterious flip in votes at the end of the night and Somerset County (where Jack is from and very popular) went from red to blue at the end of the evening based largely on mail in votes.....just a little odd.
