Four-term local elected official and Republican Nominee for Congress in New Jersey’s 9th District, Rosie Pino, is demanding answers regarding the six-day delay in calling her primary race, and others around the country.
Pino drew a direct line between the local dysfunction in North Jersey and the slow vote counting paralyzing California’s highest-profile elections — specifically the Gubernatorial Primary and the race for Mayor of Los Angeles. Despite NJ-09 being one of the most hyper-competitive congressional seats in the nation, it remains the only race in the entire state of New Jersey left uncalled — even though every county has reported 100% of votes counted.
“Look at the absolute disaster happening in California with the Governor’s race and the chaotic mess with Spencer Pratt in the LA Mayor’s race. Nearly a week later, they are still dragging out the count. Now, we’re seeing the same slow-roll shenanigans right here in New Jersey,” said Rosie Pino. “The polls closed on Tuesday. Why are they still counting ballots nearly a week later? It is completely unacceptable, it invites fraud, and NJ-09 is the only seat left hanging in this state. What are they waiting for?”
Pino declared that fixing America’s broken election administration will be her top priority in Washington.
