Judge Orders New Election In Paterson, NJ, Due to Widespread Mail-In Vote Fraud Of Such an Extent That It Completely Eradicates Any Credibility of the "Vote"

This is another Trumpian Lie, is the sort of thing AllahPundit would quote Damon Linker saying.

BTW, apparently Paterson has only one T. So I'm spelling it right.

I'm not the asshole here.

You are.

A state superior court judge ruled Wednesday that a new election will be held for a disputed Paterson, New Jersey city council seat after allegations of voter fraud via mail-in-ballots. The ruling comes only weeks after voter fraud charges were brought against the May 12 election winner Alex Mendez, per the Associated Press.

Mendez was charged with voter fraud along with Paterson Council Vice President Michael Jackson, Shelim Khalique and Abu Rayzen -- all of whom have denied the charges, according to The Hill.

A diverse rainbow of Democrats. Wonderful.

An investigation performed by the U.S. Postal Service's law enforcement arm found hundreds of mail-in ballots in a Paterson mailbox, as reported by the AP.

Ultimately, 800 ballots were discounted by the Passaic County Board of Elections and another 2,300 ballots were rendered ineligible after analyzing signatures on file and comparing them to those on the ballots, according to the Hill. A Passaic County report shows that these 3,100 disqualified ballots is equal to more than 22% of the total votes cast in the election.

...

The local race has garnered national attention amid the political battle regarding nationwide mail-in voting for the upcoming presidential election. President Donald Trump made reference to the Paterson election in a tweet attacking mail-in voting.

Video report from Fox News -- definitely not from CNN, which I imagine has completely embargoed the story -- here.

Fact Check: PANTS ON FIRE FALSE, YOU SCUMBAG LIAR!!

It was 22%.

Please enjoy that simulation of a "fact-check" by the nonpartisan and totally not meltbrain-insane media.
