The fix is in to save New Jersey's failed governor, the Goldman Sucks alumnus Jon Corzine. In case Comrade Obama rallying his crack-addled base in the slums of Newark and Camden doesn't do the trick, ACORN has been called into action. Big Government reports:
GOP officials recently received a phone tip from a hospital in Newark, reporting that people in ACORN t-shirts were in the facility signing up and collecting absentee ballots. New Jersey law allows anyone to take up to 10 absentee ballots at a time. The tipster reported seeing individuals in the ACORN shirts entering the hospital with blank absentee ballots and leaving with completed ballots.
There are reports out of Camden, New Jersey that voters are discovering that absentee ballots have already been submitted under their name. They did not authorize these ballots. Early reports suggested that the number of absentee ballots 'requested' in Camden city is higher than in any previous election. This will no doubt spark confusion on election day.
Naturally Corzine is heartily endorsed by the SEIU, which is effectively another name for ACORN.
The third-party candidacy of Chris Daggett appears to be another dirty trick:
Daggett's run for office is certainly convenient for Corzine, as he will help split any anti-Corzine vote. And, as a Corzine political appointee, one wonders if his candidacy wasn't a set up to begin with. Now, in the final days of the campaign, it appears state democrats are paying for robo calls supporting Independent Chris Daggett. First reported here, the robo calls attack Christie (but not Corzine) and promote Daggett. At the end of the call, it is mentioned that the calls are paid for by a "project of the NJSDC." No idea what that acronym stands for, but New Jersey State Democratic Committee, isn't too big of a stretch. More interesting is the fact that the return number on the calls is the same number that was used to promote Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley's election in closing days of the 2006 race.
The mainstream media has been doing its part too. WABC-TV recently scrubbed from its website the arrest of Jason Shih, identified as an Assistant Deputy Director to the Corzine's campaign, for "possession of a controlled narcotic and paraphernalia that is used for distribution."
The Corzine campaign denies having anything to do with Shih. Yet there was no correction from WABC, only a stuffing of the story down the memory hole. The stench of New Jersey Democrat politics clogs the atmosphere like a Shrillary air biscuit.
