Chris Christie's Next Case: Who Stole My Election?
Absentee voter fraud may play a significant role in New Jersey's gubernatorial election.
By
JOHN FUND
The
race for governor in New Jersey is so close in final polls that it may
well end up in a recount -- the 1981 election did and was decided by
less than 1,800 votes. If there is a recount, you can bet disputes
about absentee ballots will loom large. Moreover, if serious
allegations of fraud emerge, you can also expect less-than-vigorous
investigation by the Obama Justice Department -- which showed just how
seriously it takes such allegations when it walked away from an
open-and-shut voter intimidation case against the New Black Panther
Party in Philadelphia earlier this year.
Plenty of reasons exist for suspecting absentee fraud may play a
significant role in tomorrow's Garden State contests. Groups associated
with Acorn in neighboring Pennsylvania and New York appear to have
moved into the state. An independent candidate for mayor in Camden has
already leveled charges that voter fraud is occurring in his city.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party in New Jersey is taking advantage of a
new loosely written vote-by-mail law to pressure county clerks not to
vigorously use signature checks to evaluate the authenticity of
absentee ballots, the only verification procedure allowed.
