My Ringside Seat on a Crooked New Jersey Election

Original Article

Posted By: Magnante, 11/10/2021 8:59:52 AM

Watching the shenanigans in the still contested New Jersey gubernatorial election, I have to wonder whether there has ever been a truly honest election in state history. From my own experience, I would say probably not and, as I also learned, there are a thousand ways to cheat. In 1982, through an odd sequence of events, I found myself with a ringside seat on a routinely crooked Newark mayoral election. I had been offered a job as “associate director” of the 1,000-employee Newark Housing and Redevelopment Authority. This being a recession year, and I needing to finish my Ph.D. dissertation, I took it. This was not a career move.

Voter ID... If minorities can get an ID for a bottle of booze, they can get an ID to vote.

For many years I have been amused that the license plates issued in New Jersey seem to have a slight urine stain mixed into them. I am beginning to think that by accident, an honest person was employed in a management position at the Department of Motor Vehicles, and was able to accomplish this as a way to symbolically protest all of the crooked democrat control over that state. I thank that person for the smile provided me every time I see a New Jersey vehicle on the road.

Well written first person account confirming many suspicions, and it's impossible not to suspect same goes for EVERY other major city in the US. I cannot leave out that my suspicions include the Pubs as well. We are lied to at every turn. To quote an old Fire Sign Theater satirical skit: Everything we know is wrong.

I'm surprised it even got to the point where Jack Ciatarelli was even considered the winner of this election, thought that would have been the missing piece of the election story and his name not even mentioned

Voter ID requirements are evaded by mail in voting with ballots mailed out to everyone. That way leftist and socialist Democrat activists can pay visits to the people receiving ballots especially in the large inner-cities, instruct them as to which Democrat candidates they must vote for to get more welfare and sometimes “free” government (taxpayers) money, or sometimes fill out the ballots themselves. Then those Democrat activists take (harvest) the completed ballots and turn them in to be counted. That’s a cool way for the Democrats to win close elections, especially when the wimpy Republicans remain blind to Democrat election cheating, satisfied to take whatever portion of the election crumbs that the ldological Democrats allow them.

@ #2 - Every time I see a NJ or NY license plate here in NC it sure doesn't bring a smile to my face...just the opposite. I saw a great bumper sticker the other day. It was an image of a 'personalized' NY license plate that said Go Home.

You know, back then, there was some "character" (or characters) involved in stealing elections. The stories almost were worth the fraud. And you did it behind the scenes, with a wink and a nod and a drink and a cigar, and maybe a five or ten spot on the right palm. At least you had some entertainment with the fraud. Today, it's just the dirty, filthly criminality and blatantly public.

There was a story in one of the biographies of LBJ about how he would campaign in the Hispanic west side of San Antonio to get votes (again, for Democrat primaries as the November general election was then a formality). Anyway, the biographer recounts stories of LBJ paying $5 for each vote. One of LBJ's contemporaries, who was then still alive, disputed the claim saying that LBJ never paid more than a dollar for a Mexican's vote.

The Left's Bungled Revolution 13 replies

The two major political elements in play over the past year are closely intertwined. Those are the new left-wing blatancy, in which the American Left scarcely attempts to hide its actual agenda anymore, and the vast number of enemies the left is lining up against itself throughout American society. In hindsight, this makes perfect sense. How could the Left hope to maintain the support of the mass of Americans once its actual goals and methods became evident? In the past, leftists made a serious effort to shield their true agenda from scrutiny using a wide range of methods – wrapping itself in a veil of “compassion,”

Up until Friday, the Kyle Rittenhouse trial was very clear: Easily understood videos and witness testimony (including testimony from the prosecution witnesses) showed that Kyle, despite trying hard to avoid conflict, was attacked by a crazed child rapist, whom Kyle shot as the rapist was grabbing Kyle’s gun, at which point a mob went after Kyle. He then shot and killed a domestic abuser (snip) On Thursday, however, the court allowed prosecutors to enter into evidence a fuzzy photo from a late-produced drone, an image prosecutors argue shows Kyle “provoking” the attacks against him. Provocation destroys Kyle’s assertion that he acted in self-defense.

Shed a tear for the Democrat donkey. Democrats in Washington face a newly intensified disaster-level dilemma.

What's up with Kamala Harris on her five-day official visit to France representing the United States of America? Seems she's up to this: Truly, what is wrong w this woman?! She’s mocking them as though her prep for this trip involved watching Pepe LePew cartoons. Kamala using a fake French accent to talk to French people. (snip) Which is pretty juvenile. Going to a foreign country and mocking the locals in their own accent is no way to make friends or project U.S. influence abroad. In fact, it's not something anyone with any manners at all would do, let alone jet into someone's country to do.

On Tuesday, the Kyle Rittenhouse prosecution rested its case after its witnesses once again strongly supported Kyle’s assertion that he only acted in self-defense. In a righteous world, the judge would, on his own initiative, order a directed verdict in Kyle’s favor. Instead, it emerged that there’s a plan to terrorize the jurors (and, by implication, the judge). Also the mainstream media, of course, pretended that the prosecution had actually proved its case. (snip) My concern is that the jurors will keep themselves safe by finding Kyle guilty and the judge will agree. They’ll all assuage their consciences

People are beginning to realize that something is wrong with America's ruling class, and by "people," I don't mean people like you, who are actively engaged in politics. I'm talking about people who want nothing to do with politics or people living in prosperous leftist enclaves (snip) Tucker Carlson's also been thinking about the zeitgeist, and he's concluded that what's driving Joe Biden isn't dementia but is, instead, fear — raw, palpable fear. Biden is aware that he's failing, but rather than step away from the White House, he meekly does whatever his handlers tell him to do. That's where security lies.

Procter & Gamble (“P&G”) is one of America’s largest corporations, with over 100,000 employees worldwide. It is putting a vaccine mandate into place for its more than 26,000 America-based employees, which will require them to get vaccinated, meet a “company-approved” exemption, or take weekly COVID tests. Those employees opposed to the vaccine mandate are pushing back. To that end, they released a powerful video warning, not P&G, but all Americans, what will happen if these employees lose their jobs. It’s unlikely that you’ve navigated through life without ever purchasing a product from P&G.

Reps Liz Cheney (RINO-WY) and Bennie Thompson (D-MS) are seeking criminal charges on Trump’s former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows after he failed to appear before their sham January 6 Committee. The Marxists on the January 6 Committee issued Meadows a subpoena because he was with Trump on January 6. Meadows, like Bannon, defied the subpoena and was instructed by Trump to “respect long-standing principles of executive privilege.” “Mr. Meadows’s actions today—choosing to defy the law—will force the Select Committee to consider pursuing contempt or other proceedings to enforce the subpoena,” Thompson and Cheney, vice chair of the sham panel, said in a statement Friday.

As of “late October,” Moderna’s clinical trial – dubbed KidCOVE – kicked off phase III, which tests the controversial mRNA vaccine technology on children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years old. It will be conducted across 79 locations in 13 states and involve about ~13,250 participants in total. Phases I and II of the trial, which tested on 12-17-year-olds and 5-11-year-olds – respectively, were completed over the past several months.
