Democratic New Jersey Senate President Steve Sweeney, who is projected to lose his bid for reelection against a little-known truck driver, is talking about "recently found" ballots to support his refusal to concede the race.

The defiant incumbent released a statement to the Philadelphia Inquirer on Thursday that explained why he is not ready to admit defeat to his Republican challenger.

“The results from Tuesday’s election continue to come in, for instance there were 12,000 ballots recently found in one county,” Sweeney said in an email, not naming the county. “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.”

They needed to get the cemetery caucus properly canvassed.

Of course.

[Skywise]

Is this ANOTHER 12,000 ballots found or is this just a rehash of the ~10,000 ballots they found Wednesday morning?!

[Jamestown1630]

Of course.

Doesn’t surprise me. I texted a friend on election night that the Democrats had Tyrique searching through the trunks of cars and junkyards looking for votes.

Was the ink dry

The NJ chapter of the LGBTQs have already doxxed Durr and brought up his old tweets criticizing Muslims.

No way the corrupt establishment is going to allow a Christian truck driver defeat the most powerful Dem in the legislature. And the GOP isn't lifting a finger to help him.

Ol’ dad would have said, he pulled them out of his ass. That truck driver would do well to say so and cast all doubt on 12,000 ballots. Indeed.

How soviet of him. and the stupid inky asks him : Sweeney you sound like a soviet commissar. did you really find some votes? Do you think people will think this is funny like finding votes? did you frail to find voters?”

12,000 ballots recently found in one county,” Sweeney said i

probably in a county with 10,000 registered voters.

Gee! “Found” ballots! Who would have guessed? /s

From one of the pictures. Wow you can put a nice grey suit and a pink tie on any guy to make they look good, but you really can’t change but ugly.

It is odd that he won't state WHICH county has the 12,000 votes. He lost by well over 2,000 votes, which is not that small a margin for a state senate election, even in New Jersey. Of the three counties that he gets votes from, two of them are only partially his legislative district.

The votes already cast are a large uptick over the last election (60,000 vs. 50,000). Sweeney actually got only a few less votes than he did last time, but turnout was huge for R voters. I am doubtful that the Dem will pick up another 2,000+ votes with one county's addition, as Durr the Republican won in all three counties. He is also badly wounded politically, and the remaining Dems may tell him it is time to go.

[eyedigress]

These folks who run around hiding ballots sure are a crafty bunch.

[null and void]

Not until the 30^th recount...

[Blood of Tyrants]

Figures. And let me guess, there will be just enough Dem votes “found” to give the Rats the victory.

Sweeney: “My wife Patti just called me and was elated to find 12,000 ballots in the trunk of her car while she was getting gas in an unnamed county.’

And they’re all cast for Sweeney.

[Robwin]

And if 12,000 isn’t enough, we can always find more.

Every vote should not be counted. Only legal votes should be counted.
