Yes E. William Edge, election fraud is real, and it happens right here in Essex County

One-time Caldwell council candidate and current West Caldwell resident E. William Edge wrote a letter to our local paper last week taunting Donald Trump for saying this upcoming election might be "rigged."

Mounting his high horse, Mr. Edge proceeded to explain how his extensive experience as a voter guarantees that vote fraud could not possibly occur here in Essex County.

And he's got the straw man, complete with multiple mismatched raincoats, to "prove" it.

Now I happen to know Bill Edge from my Verona days. So I can call him out.

You've got a small problem there Bill.

Er, make that three not so small problems.

Problem #1: Carmine Casciano, a fellow Democrat, and former Superintendent of Elections in Essex County. He was in charge of voter registration, absentee ballots, and ensuring the smooth operation of the electoral process.

The guys in charge of running a "fair" election were working for the Democrats on the taxpayers' dime. But there's nothing to see here, right Bill?

Except he pleaded guilty. And a fish rots from it's head, as Gianine Narvaez, a suspended data processor in Casciano's office, also pleaded guilty to submitting phony absentee ballots while working for the 2007 campaign of State Senator Teresa Ruiz.

Leading us to Problem #2: Samuel Gonzalez. AKA State Senator Ruiz's husband. And vote fraudster extraordinaire. Can you guess that he's another well-connected Essex County Democrat? Gee Bill, I wonder why you two have never met? Anyway, Sam was quite skillful at the fraudulent absentee ballot game. His buddy John Fernandez helped rat him out. But he managed to avoid jail time because his wife is a hot shot protected by Essex County Executive For Life Joe DiVincenzo. Yeah Bill, it's good to have friends!

But the people around Teresa Ruiz keep getting caught. Enter Problem #3: Angel Colon, a Newark "campaign worker" who also managed to beat your supposedly impenetrable fraud detection system.

Wanna play the Bonus Round Bill?

Meet Rocio Rivera! She pleaded guilty to vote fraud too. And she fraudulently kept her Essex County job after entering her guilty plea. She landed a job with your fellow Democrat and Essex County Sheriff Armando Fontoura even though she's got a felony conviction on her record.

It's almost like there's a conspiracy afoot, or something.

I won't hold my breath waiting for Sheriff Fontoura to uncover it though. He's too busy double-dipping at the taxpayer's trough to concern himself with such trifles.

But as for your protestations Bill?

Yeah, they're bullshit.

And you know it.

Vote fraud is rampant in Essex County.

And it's a nationwide problem.

Because if Democrats don't cheat, they can't win.

And you know that too.
