TRENTON — Roy Cho, the Democratic candidate who’s presenting a tough challenge to Republican U.S. Rep. Scott Garrett, says he moved into the congressional district in the summer of 2012.
But records show he cast a vote from Manalapan, 52 miles to the south, in November, 2012 — more than two months after his campaign said he moved to Hackensack, in the 5th Congressional District.
“Roy Cho says he moved to Hackensack in the summer of 2012. So why then did he vote in Manalapan in November 2012?” said Garrett spokeswoman Maggie Seidel. “Either Roy Cho is lying about his residency in the Fifth District or he’s acted illegally by committing voter fraud — or both.”
The records, provided by Garrett’s campaign, show Cho registered to vote in Hackensack in April of 2013 and began voting in the city’s May 2013 municipal elections.
Cho’s 2012 vote in Manalapan, where he grew up and his parents live, was his first vote in New Jersey since 2009. Between 2010 and 2012, the 33-year-old Cho lived in New York City, where he worked as a corporate lawyer. All of his previous votes were made in Manalapan as well.
Under New Jersey law, it’s a second degree crime to cast ballots that are “known by the person to be materially false, fictitious or fraudulent.” A Middlesex County judge, Spencer Robbins, resigned in March after he was charged withvoting twice in Woodbridge while living in Chatham.

So these are our choices: Carpet bagger versus gridlock as usual?

Garrett must be Desperate
snore yea if Cho accused Garret of something you’d be jumping up and down , Cho is just another Obamabot fraud
As a Bergen County resident and tax payer I sure would like to have a candidate who is claiming he’s from my county to be paying real estate taxes in my county and supporting the local economy.
Ah Cho
