January 2nd, 2024 - New Jersey Citizens for New Jersey Election Integrity (C4NJEI) has formally submitted evidence of voter irregularities from New Jersey's November 2024 general election to the New Jersey office of the Department of Justice. The flagged issues, uncovered through meticulous analysis, reveal cases of deceased voters casting ballots and individual voters casting more than one ballot.

Deceased Voters Voting

The analysis utilized a commercial death data service to cross-check voter rolls against death records. This service, widely used by pension funds, includes obituary verification to ensure accuracy. The review focused on two voter categories:

  • Vote-by-Mail Ballots: More than 820,000 mail-in voters were analyzed, resulting in 465 individuals confirmed as deceased before November 5th but recorded as having voted.
  • In-person Voters: More than 179,000 voters aged 84 or older who voted in person were analyzed, and 20 were identified as deceased but still listed as having cast ballots.

Duplicate Votes Cast

C4NJEI analyzed the voter records of all 4,321,921 votes cast in the November election and uncovered 29 cases of duplicate voting, where apparently the same individual voter submitted multiple mail-in ballots or, in one instance, cast both a mail-in and a machine ballot. There were 4 cases of individuals voting 3 times. Detail by County
