New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal filed voter fraud charges against four men, including two Paterson City officials, who allegedly engaged in a mail-in ballot scheme during last month's special election.
Grewal charged Paterson City Councilman Michael Jackson, Councilman-elect Alex Mendez, and two other scumcrumpets after the U.S. Postal Inspection Service alerted his office that it had found hundreds of ballots in a single Paterson City mailbox, according to InsiderNJ.
Over 3,000 ballots were set aside over voter fraud concerns in the Paterson City Council election, according to WNBC-TV. In all, they received 16,747 ballots, but only 13,557 were deemed legitimate.
Thus, 19% of the ballots were rejected, and over 800 of those were found tethered together in mailboxes. Unless a huge family of 800 individuals mailed their ballots in a family stack, the tethered ballots were fraudulent.
The alleged fraud is very significant in that election as the incumbent councilman only kept his seat by eight votes and Mendez was elected by less than 250 votes.
Jackson was charged with four crimes, including fraud in casting mail-in vote and falsifying records.
The Attorney General's office stated:
It is alleged that Jackson violated state election laws as a candidate by approaching one or more voters in Paterson in the district where he was running and collecting their official mail-in ballots for delivery to the Passaic County Board of Elections. It is further alleged that these mail-in ballots were delivered to the Board of Elections without information identifying the bearer, in violation of state election laws. In addition, Jackson allegedly procured and had in his possession more than three official mail-in ballots which were neither his own ballots, nor ballots for which he was identified as an authorized bearer. Lastly, Jackson allegedly received the official mail-in ballot of one voter without the ballot having been voted or sealed, and that ballot was subsequently delivered to the Board of Elections in a sealed envelope without information identifying the bearer.
Mendez was charged with six criminal charges, including election fraud and falsifying records.
From the Attorney General's Office:
It is alleged that Mendez violated state election laws as a candidate by approaching one or more voters in Paterson in the district where he was running and collecting their official mail-in ballots for delivery to the Passaic County Board of Elections. It is further alleged that these mail-in ballots were delivered to the Board of Elections without information identifying the bearer in violation of state election laws. In addition, Mendez allegedly procured or submitted one or more voter registration applications, which he knew to be false, fictitious, or fraudulent, in that he knew the person for whom the application was procured was not eligible to vote in the election district identified on the application."Today's charges send a clear message: if you try to tamper with an election in New Jersey, we will find you and we will hold you accountable," Grewal said. "We will not allow a small number of criminals to undermine the public's confidence in our democratic process."
Jackson faces more than 10 years in prison while Mendez faces more than 31 years in prison. It will be a veritable miracle if either man serves anything close to that amount of time in the slammer.
Democrats continue in their nationwide push for mail-in voting as a method, along with massive public protests in the streets, to reduce coronavirus spread.
Republicans generally oppose mail-in voting and the destruction of property, arguing the former opens the door to voter fraud while the latter is anarchy.
