If that was a trial run, then another all vote-by-mail election should not only be scrapped, but tied down, bazooked and nuked.

So says Assemblyman Benjie Wimberly (D-35) of Paterson.

“It showed the concerns many of us had,” Wimberly told InsiderNJ.

Get rid of it, he added; and replace it on July 7th with a modified regular election.

“It gave corruption a chance to rear its head,” the assemblyman said, referring to the more than 800 VBM ballots impounded at the Passaic County Board of Elections Office. “We need to figure out how to get people to vote at the polls in the primary, whether by alphabet or district, whatever it takes to keep social districting . This[nonpartisan] election exposed some of the concerns we had. In fairness, nobody could have foreseen issues with the post office. But we have to have some aspect of hard copy vote in July.”
