Patterson, NJ City Council Members Charged In Fraudulent Voting Scheme, In Which Twenty Percent of All Ballots Cast Were Fake

But - but - but--

There is no such thing as voting fraud. And certainly not mail-in voting fraud, which is what happened here.

New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir Grewal filed voter fraud charges Thursday against two Paterson city officials who allegedly engaged in a mail-in ballot scheme in connection to a special election in May.

Grewal levelled the charges against Paterson City Councilman Michael Jackson, Councilman-Elect Alex Mendez, and two other men after the Postal Inspection Service warned Grewal’s office that hundreds of mail-in ballots were found in a Paterson mailbox, InsiderNJ reported Thursday.

Only 13,557 of the 16,747 vote-by-mail ballots in Paterson were counted, a local NBC affiliate in New York reported in May. More than 800 ballots in Paterson were invalidated for appearing in mailboxes tethered together. One mailbox reportedly had hundreds of ballots tied together.

The board of elections disqualified another 2,300 ballots after concluding that the signatures did not match voting records.

The ballots had been stolen from their intended recipients, and filled out by party hacks.

One Paterson woman named Romana Javier, after NBC showed her a list of people who allegedly voted on her block, told the channel that she never received a ballot and did not vote. "We did not receive vote-by-mail ballots and thus we did not vote," she said. "This is corruption. This is fraud."

Below, a sheriff in Texas alleges that a US Postal worker deliberately threw his campaign mailers in the garbage.

And he says he's got the video showing the crime in progress.
