Voter Fraud In Pal Park, Lodi?
Has ACORN been infiltrating Bergen County? Almost sounds like it.
Amazingly, two school board elections appear to have been tainted by voter fraud. In Palisades Park and Lodi, school board elections are under scrutiny due to unusually high numbers of absentee ballots. In Palisades Park…
The Elections Board received 932 absentee ballots from borough residents — more than twice the number of voters who cast ballots at the polls and one-third of the total of absentee ballots in the county, Chairman Peter Incardone Jr. said.
“This has to stop, something is really not right,” Incardone said of the borough parties’ predilection for signing voters up for absentee ballots, which has led to multiple investigations in recent years.
In Lodi, a high number of ballots have come from Housing Authority residents where the son of a board member happens to work (shock!):
In another race complicated by absentee ballots, Lodi school board candidate Louis Tuccillo wrote a letter asking the Elections Board to hold off on certifying the election until they release data on the absentee ballots.
The letter asks for a breakdown of ballots per district, the number of ballots that were thrown out, and the number of ballot requests that were hand-delivered to county offices, among other details
“It’s our right to have this information in the event that we decide to file an appeal,” he said.
The Elections Board investigated Lodi’s absentee ballots after Tuccillo complained that Housing Authority residents represented 20 percent of the ballot request total. The authority chairman’s son, Daniel Cody III, is a Board of Education member running for reelection.
Honestly, it amazes me the lengths people will go to to win an election. Nonetheless, I hope these cases are investigated fully and the truth comes out. No matter the importance of the election, voter fraud is a direct assault on our democracy and we should do everything we can to prevent it.
