Widespread Fraud In New Jersey Special Election Proves Again That Mail-In Ballots Are Ripe For Abuse
June 26, 2020 By Paulina Enck
Mail-in ballots are proving to be increasingly susceptible to voter fraud, as was shown in Paterson, New Jersey. In the special election for city council, 19 percent of ballots were discovered to be fraudulent, forcing the board of elections to disqualify more than 3,190 of the 16,747 votes.
The May 12 special local election came under suspicion when the Postal Inspection Service found hundreds of ballots in one mailbox. This discovery triggered an investigation by the attorney general’s Office of Public Integrity and Accountability, which unearthed much more intentional interference. Ballots were stolen (completed and empty) and filled out fraudulently, or were otherwise altered.
New Jersey Attorney General Gurbir S. Grewal has charged four men with criminal conduct involving mail-in ballots: Councilman Michael Jackson, Councilman-Elect Alex Mendez, Councilman Shahin Khalique, and Abu Razyen.

This is a city election, not a county/state/national election.
A city runs its own election, using their own people.
These men stole ballots from the city. That means the city did not keep the ballots under lock and key. The men should be charged, which they have been, and the city needs to be examined for their role in allowing ballots to be taken/stolen. No ballots could have been stolen if the city had total control of the ballots.

There are also two complementary threads about this in the NY/NJ sub-forum.

Mail-in ballot fraud happens the most in Democrat-run states because they see it as a benefit they can get away with. The rules are more lax in places like California than in states like Texas. It's in the "Harvesting."
