NJ senate president now claims ballots have suddenly APPEARED in race with trucker who spent $153 on campaign: Dem refuses to concede defeat in humiliating loss to Raymour and Flanagan driver who 'doesn't know' what he'll do in office

A Republican truck driver who spent just $153 on his campaign and ran for office after he was denied a gun permit secured a stunning victory against the longest-serving legislative leader in New Jersey history in the state's elections - but the loser is disputing the results and claims more ballots were 'found' on Thursday.

The election was held on Tuesday but Associated Press only called the race today after 100 percent of precincts had reported.

Underdog GOP candidate Ed Durr delivered a humiliating defeat to Democratic Senate President Steve Sweeney in South New Jersey's 3rd Legislative District by a razor thin margin of 52 percent of the vote to 48.

It's another embarrassing upset for the Democrats after they lost the Virginia gubernatorial election, struggled in the race for New Jersey governor and were swept by a red wave in Long Island, New York.

But two days after voters cast their ballots, Sweeney said the race still isn't over and he's not conceding. That's despite the Associated Press indicating that every precinct in the legislative district has already finished reporting.

'The results from Tuesday’s election continue to come in, for instance there were 12,000 ballots recently found in one county,' the veteran lawmaker told Politico.

'While I am currently trailing in the race, we want to make sure every vote is counted. Our voters deserve that, and we will wait for the final results.'

“Finding” ballots.

I would like the government to immediately shoot anyone who “found” ballots after the polls close. Seriously. Then they can ask, “Anyone else feel like finding more ballots?”

These people are drunk on power. This is more about salvaging his reputation among the cocktail circuit than it is about actually challenging an election. Can you imagine the disgust and contempt Sweeney's friends feel toward him after this?

"You lost to a truck driver?

Yesterday wasn’t a win. It was a stepping stone. They had to sacrifice one to keep up the facade. They’re perfecting their theft mechanisms.

So, were these ballots found in (A) the truck of a car, (B) in a truck with New York plates or (C) a municipal building?

Your elections are very much like mushroom picking. You just go out in the forest and find some “votes”. Weird....

How exactly would/should he have first-hand knowledge of the disposition of any ballots?

Razor thin is something like 0.10% of the vote.

Razor thin IS NOT a 4.00% of the total vote spread.

Could this be any more obvious? Of course they found more ballots after the incumbent Democrat lost. They always have a ready made stash of “emergency Democrat votes” hidden somewhere, and of course they must “count every vote”.
Durr will need to take the money he hasn’t spent and hire lawyers to preserve his win.
God how I hate those Democrat bastards.

All done with out any guilt or shame on the D’s part. All “normal” behavior. No questions from the man on the street.

Perhaps that is the most disturbing thing of this.

Hold your horses. I read two vanity threads yesterday, both by GOP cheerleaders, that scolded people like us for daring to suggest our elections are routinely stolen.
