New Report: Mercer County, NJ Wasted Millions in Taxpayer Dollars

 

 Your tax dollars hard at work.


The New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller has released a report revealing Mercer County paid almost $4.5 million in penalties and interest for delinquent tax filings and payments between 2018 and 2021.

According to the report, the Democratic-controlled county's Finance Department regularly failed to make adequate and timely payroll tax payments to both the Internal Revenue Service as well as the New Jersey Division of Taxation.

LETTER: NJGOP Demands Attorney General Platkin Investigate Mercer County Election Failures

        

Governor Murphy's Failure to Fill Key Post Prior to Election Day Draws Scrutiny

        

TRENTON - Today, Bob Hugin, Chairman of the New Jersey Republican State Committee         ("NJGOP") sent a letter (CLICK HERE) to Attorney General Matthew Platkin and         released the following statement with respect to widespread Election Day failures in Mercer County:
 

       "Today, the NJGOP is demanding that the Murphy Administration take         accountability for the complete failure of the voting machines in Mercer County on Election Day. This unacceptable and embarrassing display lies squarely at the feet of the Murphy Administration, which refused to fill the Deputy Superintendent of Elections post, a         Republican position, since it became vacant in December 2021. This egregious dereliction of duty appears to have been a contributing factor to the debacle that occurred in Mercer         County on election day and has impeded the functional and transparent administration of this election. The public deserves answers on what went wrong so this never, ever happens again. I eagerly await Attorney General Platkin's response."
 

       - Chairman Bob Hugin 

Mercer County Ballots

The missing ballots from three voting districts in Princeton and one in Robbinsville were found today at the Mercer County Board of Elections, where they had been since Election Day, the New Jersey Globe has confirmed.

This is just one problem in a disastrous Election Day operation that started with every polling location in Mercer County.  County Clerk Paula Sollami Covello has asked the Mercer County Prosecutor to launch an investigation.

The Robbinsville ballots were counted today and the Princeton ballots are set to be counted on Friday.

A small number of additional ballots were found inside voting machines when they were opened today.  Superior Court Judge William Anklowitz signed an order this morning authorizing the machines to be opened.

Voters across the Mercer County were told to vote using paper ballots on Election Day after a programming glitch rendered the Dominion optical scanner as unusable. The ballots were dropped into the machine’s storage bin and collected by a team of one Democrat and one Republican.

Mercer County Superintendent of Elections Nathaniel Walker will keep his office open on Friday,  a state holiday, and this weekend, to continue counting ballots.

  • Published: Nov. 09, 2022, 2:48 p.m.
  • By Ted Sherman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com


Mercer County officials signed a $2.8 million contract this past March with Dominion Voting Systems to make certain that the county would be able count all the votes on Tuesday.


On Election Day, the entire system inexplicably crashed.

The Dissolution of Debate in 2022, A Republican Perspective

 By Jaden Stewart  

 

As an Ivy League student from California, I am no stranger to the stifling of open discourse. In the classroom and the political arena, it has been made abundantly clear that those who do not hold the dominant views must seriously consider the repercussions of sharing opposing opinions. This suppression of thoughts and ideas hinders our ability to discover solutions that could lead to great progress. Instead, the same failed attempts are repeated, with no true advancement. I fear this is the trend that has developed in Princeton.

Rep. Kim’s Misleading Moderate Façade Won’t Fool Voters Says Healey

 

Rep. Andy Kim’s grandstanding as a ‘moderate’ is nothing more than an attempt to pull the wool over voters’ eyes before election day. While Andy Kim tries to present himself as a centrist Democrat, his underlying activist ideology is on full display based on his founding of - and active membership in - multiple far-left groups that espouses radical ideology and extreme ideas.
