Stafford: The Stafford Township Council unanimously approved resolution 2020-302 encouraging the right to vote in person at a voting machine for the November 3rd General Election. The July 7th New Jersey Primary Election was rife with problems including exorbitant cost, potential fraud, mass confusion, and extreme delays. Presidential elections bring out the highest number of voters and the considerable issues of the July primary will be exponentially greater this November without access to machine voting for all registered voters. Machine voting is safe, reliable, and far and away the most popular form of voting. Counting paper ballots by hand is both antiquated and insecure. The 2020 General election could have the highest voter turnout in history. The people deserve a fair election with accurate counting of all votes cast in a timely manner. The Presidency, a US Senate seat, all US House seats, County offices and numerous down-ballot offices are at stake. This is NOT the time for yet another electoral experiment.
*** This resolution encourages the right to vote in person and will be sent to the Governor. The governor may place restrictions on our right to vote by eliminating in person machine voting. The Mayor and council do not have control over this but we are making our stance very clear to the governor. The Ocean County Freeholders passed a similar resolution last week. ***
Who is against voting in person?

NJ’s constitution does not allow for mail in ballots as the constitution calls for the election to be a certain day only. not before or after as in mail in ballots.(ballots have to be mailed well before and are counted after if postmarked that day.) so there fore it is my belief that mail in ballots are against the NJ constitution as the legislature has not created law and it is only Murphy’s unconstitutional order. My cite from the NJ constitution –
1. General elections shall be held annually on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November; but the time of holding such elections may be altered by law. The Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and members of the Legislature shall be chosen at general elections. Local elective officers shall be chosen at general elections or at such other times as shall be provided by law.
Article II, Section I, paragraph 1 amended effective January 17, 2006.
Misty Dakota NJ has had mail in ballots for years. “The Vote By Mail Law” was established in 2009.
