[Voice of Hope November 3, 2021](Compiled by our reporter Yuning)The current Democratic Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, announced on Wednesday (November 3) that he won the election by a narrow margin, becoming the first Democratic governor to win re-election in the past 40 years. But his challenger and Republican Chatreilly’s camp refused to admit defeat. They believe that due to technical problems in many counties in the state, the final election results have not yet been announced, so it is irresponsible to announce the election results now.

At 6:30 pm on Wednesday, the Associated Press announced that Murphy had won the election by a narrow margin nearly 24 hours after the end of the state governor election. When 90% of the votes were read, Murphy won 50% of the approval rate, and Schattdecor Raleigh won 49.2% of the votes. Murphy had 19,440 more votes than Chatreli. At that time, New Jersey had 16,000 votes, and nearly 11% of the county votes were not counted.

Therefore, Murphy’s challenger, Stami Williams, the communications director of Republican candidate Jack Ciattarelli, tweeted that the Associated Press was irresponsible. The tweet read: “The difference between the two candidates is only a few tenths percent of the 2.4 million votes, and the New Jersey State Government does not know how many votes have not been counted. responsible.”

Several counties were unable to announce the results of the general election on time due to technical problems

The report said that in the five electoral districts of Paterson in Pasek and Essex counties, the staff mistakenly locked the ballots after the election because they were not familiar with the new voting machines in the district. It cannot be counted in the voting machine, so it is currently waiting for a court order to reopen the voting machine.

Ballots for 56 electoral districts in Essex County, where Newark is located, were also locked in voting machines and could not be counted.

The constituency’s clerk Christopher Durkin said he would investigate how this happened and urged people in the area not to draw conclusions lightly. This means that the election results in this constituency may be released in a few days.

The report said that the results of the ballot reading on Wednesday morning once showed that Murphy had a clear advantage in Hudson County, New Jersey, but it was later discovered that the county’s 6,000 ballots were counted twice.

The report said that Murphy’s later advantage was mainly because Bergen County, the famous Democratic base of the state, had a large number of votes to support him.

The Republican candidate Chatreilly won Morris County with a 56.8%:42.6% advantage in Morris County, leading by nearly 15 percentage points.

At midnight on the 2nd, when 88% of the votes were counted, Chatreilly was 0.5% ahead of Murphy. At that time, Chatreilly promised: “When we can clearly declare victory, we will begin to restore New Jersey, so that everyone can confidently live, work, support a family, start a business or provide for the elderly.”

Murphy is a leftist. During his tenure, he issued a decree requiring taxpayer money to fund preschools and community colleges in the state, and exempted low-income students from the state’s community colleges from tuition; he also issued a decree The state’s minimum wage was raised to $15 per hour and supported the state’s development of renewable energy sources such as wind power. In this election, he won the endorsement of former US President Barack Obama and US First Lady Jill Biden, and his approval rate in the pre-election polls has been 11 percentage points higher than that of Chatreilly.

Chatreilly won the support of Trump supporters in the state. He once said that if he is elected, there will be no mask and vaccine injunctions and will reduce the state’s property tax (New Jersey’s property tax is the highest in the United States). He also opposed the critical racism curriculum in public schools.

  • Since 1977, no Democratic governor of the state has won re-election.
  • New Jersey has always been a base of the Democratic Party. Since Clinton won the presidential election in 1992, the state has always been the Democratic presidential candidate winning in the presidential election.
  • The two federal senators in New Jersey are both Democrats, and both houses of the state are under the control of the Democrats.
  • There are nearly 1 million more Democratic voters in New Jersey than Republican voters. The number of non-party voters in the state is higher than the number of voters from both parties.
  • New Jersey is the only state outside of Virginia that holds governor elections a year after the presidential election.
  • In the past 20 years, every time a president was elected in the US general election, New Jersey elected the governor of another party. For example, when the Democrat Obama was elected as the President of the United States in 2008, the state elected Republican Chris Christie as the governor of the state; and when Trump won the 2016 presidential election, the state elected the Democrat Mexico.
