Election Fraud

At polling locations during an election a person from each party is placed to assist voters, and to be a representative for the person running in the election.

A long time election fraud technique is for one of the persons from a particular party arriving early to crank out a couple hundred votes for the person they are working for in the election.

This gives the person running for office a big head start and easily gains an advantage especially if the race is determined to be close.

I discovered this when I was volunteering for the campaign to elect Brian Delahunty who was running for mayor in Brick Township New Jersey. Brian Delahunty was running against the Brick Township incumbent mayor Daniel F Newman.

When I arrived at the polling center which was at the Veterans Memorial Elementary School I immediately went to look at the counters on the voting machines. The voting machines are required to be open so that each representative could see that all the counters were set at zero. The voting machines were closed and locked, so that neither I nor the republican representative could inspect the machines.

TRENTON — State prosecutors have indicted five more campaign workers, including the winning candidate’s husband, on election fraud charges in connection with a 2007 state Senate race in northern New Jersey.

In all, 10 people have been indicted in the investigation into whether campaign workers submitted absentee ballots in the Essex County-based 29th District for residents who never received them.

Among those indicted Tuesday was Samuel Gonzalez, the husband of state Sen. Teresa Ruiz. Gonzalez, an Essex County freeholder, did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.

The charges include election fraud, tampering with public records and forgery.
