"Recently found" ballots

12K ballots would 20% of the original 60K counted or 16% of the new total. Are they seriously expecting us to believe they never noticed roughly 1/5 of the total ballots cast were missing?
-
If they did lose that many then the sheer incompetence of the election officials in Jersey would demand a complete recount at the least and possibly a whole new election.

It's worked before.

The results of Box 13 from the senatorial Democratic primary runoff election race in August of 1948, between Lyndon Baines Johnson and Coke Robert Stevenson, was the deciding factor in that election and arguably altered the course of history. As for the controversy surrounding those results, on Sept. 3, some six days after the polls had closed, 202 additional ballots in precinct 13 were discovered that had not been counted."Of those votes, 201 went for LBJ, and one was for Stevenson, so I think it's very clear what happened in that box," said R. David Guerrero, district clerk of Jim Wells County.Those 201 votes gave LBJ the victory over Stevenson, and the rest is history.
201 to 1.
Sounds legit.

If the ballots are not where they are supposed to be, by midnight of the election day - mail-in, paper, electronic, whatever - they should not be counted.
New Jersey election law requires that mail-in ballots be post-marked by the Election Day and to physically arrive at the voting office by 8:00pm on the sixth day after Election Day to be counted.

Don't care.
The reason for mail-in voting is to allow people to vote from home, for whatever reason (I don't like mail-in ballots, but that's another discussion). If you can't haul your dead ass out to the mailbox to make sure your ballot gets to where it needs to be by midnight of election day, your vote shouldn't count.
Period.

There are some issues there, too. Early voting in VA began before the McAuliffe admission about his opinion of parent involvement in education. That single issue turned this entire election. How many votes were cast beforehand?
How many Google searches last year in PA, Wisconsin, and Michigan about how to change your vote happened after Biden screwed up in the last debate and admitted their jobs were gone if he had his way? I recall thousands… Enough to have changed the outcome? Quite probably…

Therefore...Let's eliminate mail-in ballots, except for military and state department serving overseas. You want to vote early? Fine. You'll have a one-week period, two weeks before the election day. Show your ID and vote at a pre-assigned place manned by state officials or employees and assessible by poll watchers.

That's alright, man, I doubt the state of New Jersey cares about your opinion on how it should run its elections either.
As a matter of policy, you're getting closer to trampling over the Tenth Amendment with regards to federalism and states' rights as you try to tell other states how to run their elections for state and local elected offices.

I just enjoy watching “Conservatives” and Republicans abandon their long held “principles” since Trump burst onto the scene. From “character matters” to not. From against double-taxation to for. And now the abandonment of the Tenth Amendment.

Nothing @Jolly said is in contradiction to the Tenth Amendment. Did he say "make it a 'federal law'?"
Let me check.
Nope he indeed did not.

Senate President Steve Sweeney is set to concede his re-election defeat on Wednesday and Democrats have scheduled an election this Friday to choose his successor, the New Jersey Globe has learned.
Nicholas Scutari, the current Senate Judiciary chairman, has a lock on the position, a New Jersey Globe tally shows, but still must face a vote. State Sen. Nia Gill is challenging him in a bid to become the first woman and first person of color to serve as Senate President.
Senate Majority Leader Teresa Ruiz is set to become the state’s first Latina majority leader, although a Star-Ledger editorial is trying to push her into the Senate President race.
Republican Edward Durr ousted Sweeney, a senator for the last 20 years and the longest-serving legislative leader in New Jersey history, in last week’s election. He now has a 2,212-vote lead over Sweeney in the 3rd legislative district.
Sweeney had scheduled an announcement for today – which was expected to be a concession – but that event never occurred.
