Aw shucks, the Democrats are just gonna have to keep cheating the old fashioned way. Because Chris Christie vetoed their early voting bill, and they're really not happy about it.
Calling the proposal "hasty, counterproductive and less reliable," Gov. Chris Christie today vetoed a bill that would have let residents vote at their polling place starting 15 days before Election Day.
The move was instantly criticized by Democrats who accused the Republican governor of trying to stifle the vote.
Under the bill (S2364), voters could have cast ballots in person at their polling places until the Sunday before the primary or general election.
Yeah, our current mail-in ballot system isn't insecure enough, so they wanted 15 days of unfettered access to the voting machines, the better to really rig things to go their way. Sorry, but that's not how we roll around here.
Sen. Nia Gill (D-Essex), a primary sponsor of the Senate version of the bill, said Christie's veto is politically motivated.
"The governor now joins other Republican governors who have sought to stifle the vote and limit access to the polls," Gill said in a statement. "Once again he is catering to his national base at the expense of New Jersey residents."
No Mizz Gill, he's catering to the principles of one man, one vote. Without a strong photo ID requirement the potential for 15 days of rampant fraud is just too tempting for your henchmen to pass up. Go ask Teresa Ruiz how it's done; her husband knows all the tricks.
Here's how you vote. Show up on election day. It's not all that hard to do.
