Singh says, “We are officially docketed in the US Supreme Court against Phil Murphy for violating Article 1, Section 4 of the US Constitution and forcing an illegal unconstitutional Vote-By-Mail election onto New Jersey that has destroyed our election integrity and has been replicated across the country to undermine President Donald J. Trump . We have also directly challenged the use of the US Postal Service for Vote-By-Mail since it directly violates the Freedom of Information Act without any commensurate Federal Law to provide mandatory federal transparency.”

Teaneck NJ, according to Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi, If you live in Teaneck and potentially surrounding communities in Bergen County please make sure you received a correct mail in ballot from the County Clerk before you vote and send it in. Apparently there were incorrect ballots sent to residents with Congressman Josh Gottheimer and Congressman Bill Pascrell on the ballot for districts they don’t even represent. In Teaneck alone it’s impacted over 7,000 voters. Check and make sure the candidates you are voting for actually are your district’s candidates. New ballots are being printed for those households identified as receiving a wrong ballot. If you are one of those households and have already sent in a ballot please be aware that ballot WILL NOT BE COUNTED. You must vote again when your new ballot comes. Universal mail in ballots…..what could possible go wrong in New Jersey?
