Fraud charges need response
Published in the Asbury Park Press 09/20/05

Republican allegations of possible widespread voter fraud in New Jersey may or may not have merit. Attorney General Peter C. Harvey, who has been sitting on information provided him by the state Republican Committee since May, needs to find out — before the Nov. 8 election.
Republicans say their review of voter rolls in the 2004 elections found that nearly 11,000 people voted twice and nearly 5,000 ballots were cast under the names of people officially listed as deceased.

In Monmouth County, 92 double votes were cast and 450 votes were cast in the names of those who are dead, Republican State Committee Chairman Tom Wilson said. In Ocean County, 79 people voted twice and 271 votes were cast in the names of dead people, according to the study. Elections officials in Monmouth and Ocean counties have disputed the numbers. So have state Democrats.
