'NOTHING TO SEE HERE - MOVE ALONG!' Paterson, NJ, to hold new election in City Council race marred by voter fraud charges

[easyt65]

...another dagger through the false narrative by Democrats and snowflakes that voter fraud does not exist, that mail-in balloting is perfectly safe, and mail-in voter fraud can NOT affect elections /election outcomes.....



"A judge has ruled that a new election will be held in November for a disputed Paterson City Council seat, just weeks after the race's apparent winner and a sitting councilman were charged with voter fraud.

Alex Mendez had won a special election on May 12 to fill the seat, but claims of voter fraud were soon raised. An investigation was then launched after the U.S. Postal Service's law enforcement arm told the state attorney general's office about hundreds of mail-in ballots located in a mailbox in Paterson, along with more found in nearby Haledon.

Ultimately, the Passaic County Board of Elections decided not to count 800 ballots cast in the race."

If people can attend violent protests, loot stores en masse, burn bibles / flags on the street, destroy, attack cops, etc.... they can wait in lines 6 feet apart to vote in November.

You'll never hear this on the fake news MSM. And this is the universal thing with elections. Democrats have no shame. They'll cheat every time because they think their imbecillic asses are right. MAGA

New Local Election Ordered in N.J. After Mail-In Voter Fraud Charges (Published 2020)

A judge ruled that the election in Paterson had been irreversibly tainted. The president has used the case to assail mail-in voting as dangerous, though election experts disagree.

Somehow, we've all been lulled into accepting that the only thing that counts is winning.
Having watched three years of machinations by the Deep State, Hillary's allies, no one with any sense or knowledge expects any lull in the assault on Trump and America by the Democrats.


The most recent campaign was a combination of anti-business executive orders and regulations, loosely aimed at preventing the spread of the Chinese virus, and letting the dogs out by Democrat encouragemment of the ANTIFA, Black Lives Matter thugs and other 'Baker Street Irregulars,' and their allies in the teacher's unions designed to keep kids home so parents can't go back to work.
This in the hopes of erasing Trump's amazing accomplishments with the economy.


The next facet of the multi-pronged attack on Trump and America, is the plan to have the election by the easily manipulated mail-in balloting.
Which brings us to the sort of news article we had best all be prepared for.

New election ordered over fraud charges

[PoliticalChic]

In the OP we see what is known as a 'microcosm.'


It is just one city council election, in one Democrat run city, and it involved four Democrats charged with fraud in the election, and nearly a thousand votes tossed.


It will be scaled to enormous proportions, and the less Obama gave to illegal aliens on voting.....'When you vote, you're a citizen yourself"......will not be forgotten.


The learned well from their forebears.....

Thank you for a FANTASTIC post, PC. Very nicely done.

While PoliticalChic and I disagree on lots, she is a faithful adherent to a political party and ideology I find anti-American. That said the growth of conspiracy thinking in today's so called conservatives astounds me. Franklin said it best, "Three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead." But when nothing has to proven anything goes. Sad that the American right and republicans have gone this far off the tracks. Listen to these Qanon as an example.

@realDonaldTrump
Absentee Ballots are fine. A person has to go through a process to get and use them. Mail-In Voting, on the other hand, will lead to the most corrupt Election is USA history. Bad things happen with Mail-Ins. Just look at Special Election in Patterson, N.J. 19% of Ballots a FRAUD!

I think you might be overlooking the point.

We’ve had thousands and thousands of elections in thousands of cities with thousands of candidates.

And ONE was bad?

Sounds like a pretty good success story to me.

"28 Million Mail-In Ballots Went Missing in Last Four Elections



Between 2012 and 2018, 28.3 million mail-in ballots remain unaccounted for, according to data from the federal Election Assistance Commission. The missing ballots amount to nearly one in five of all absentee ballots and ballots mailed to voters residing in states that do elections exclusively by mail.



States and local authorities simply have no idea what happened to these ballots since they were mailed – and the figure of 28 million missing ballots is likely even higher because some areas in the country, notably Chicago, did not respond to the federal agency’s survey questions. This figure does not include ballots that were spoiled, undeliverable, or came back for any reason."

Tell me what should bother me about these “missing ballots”? These are simply ballots that were sent out and never returned.

In 2016, there were about 200 million registered voters and 130 million votes cast. do we say that 70 million voters went missing? Obviously not.
