Dear Fellow Bergen County Republicans,

On Tuesday, March 9 there will be two special municipal elections in Bergen County -

one in Park Ridge and the other in Rutherford. The reason for these special elections is because in both cases there were allegations of voter fraud that marred the results of the November council elections.

In both towns evidence was supplied that showed some people who voted by absentee ballot did not live in those communities and were no longer registered voters there. In Park Ridge, 11 of 17 voters who were subpoenaed by the court were found to have voted incorrectly – including two police officers and the Democrat candidate’s brother and sister-in-law, who actually live in Wyckoff.

It should be fairly evident to everyone who supports honest elections that people should not be casting a vote in a town they don’t live in. I don’t buy the notion that these votes were just mistakes. I think it’s part of a pattern of corruption of the voting process on the part of the Democratic Party in Bergen County.

I urge voters in those communities who value the sanctity of the election process, to send a message to those who would purposely corrupt the voting process and vote for the Republican candidates in both towns.

The only way we are going to ever guarantee honest elections in this county and in this state is punish those who traffic in ballot manipulation and support honest candidates for public office.
