PASSAIC COUNTY - “I welcomed the Department of Justice’s decision to monitor the recent election in Passaic County and am gratified that we have not been notified of any impropriety in how our election was conducted. This reinforces what we have always known — that Passaic County runs free, fair, and transparent elections that voters can have full confidence in.

It is deeply irresponsible that state and county Republican leaders chose to spread baseless allegations and sow doubt about the integrity of our democratic process for their own political gain. Their reckless rhetoric undermines public trust in elections and disrespects the dedicated bipartisan professionals who work tirelessly to ensure every vote is counted accurately and every voter is treated fairly.

The people of Passaic County deserve better than fear mongering and misinformation. I urge all leaders, regardless of party, to respect the will of the voters and the integrity of the democratic process.”
