NJ ELECTION UPDATE: 56 Voting Machines Were Shut Down, Shipped To Warehouse On Election Night In Dem Stronghold County Where Gov Murphy Got Over 113K Votes
Patty McMurray | Nov 4, 2021After the polls closed in New Jersey on Tuesday evening, stunned political pundits watched GOP candidate Jack Ciattarelli take the lead in the governor’s race against the incumbent Democrat Governor Phil Murphy.
Then, on Wednesday morning, after Americans watched coverage of the election showing Ciattarelli flipping traditionally blue counties to red and picking up significantly more votes in red counties than in previous elections, something curious happened—with almost 100% of red counties reporting their votes, election results from Democrat stronghold counties began to trickle in, and Murphy began to take a negligible lead. As the day wore on, more blue counties reported their results, and like magic, Murphy got just enough votes to be declared the winner.
In Essex County, a Democrat stronghold, 56 voting machines were shut down on election night and were NOT counted.
On Wednesday, County Clerk Christopher Durkin said
voting machines in 56 districts were shut down without being counted first.
Durkin blamed the shutdown of 56 voting machines on a “poll worker error.” The News 12 reporter Tony Caputo asked Durkin about the location of the voting machines and when they would be counted? Durkin answered, “It’s a mix; they are mostly in Newark, in East Orange, Irvington, Maplewood, Montclair, the majority of those 56 districts.”
