4/8/06 News Roundup

  • John Ginty has enough signatures to challenge Tom Kean Jr for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate. This came after Kean tried to distance himself from the Bergen County Republican Organization by not asking to run on their ticket. Good job junior. Real smart to make enemies with your own party and force a primary when you pretty much had the nomination wrapped up.

  • Attorney General, Zulima Farber, is creating a unit to investigate and combat corruption. This should help with investigating the multitude of not-so-legit political dealings here.

  • There definitely isn’t a shortage of suggestions as to help make the state budget more palatable. These suggestions range from reducing government payrolls to legalizing and taxing prostitution.

  • Newark Councilman, Hector Corchado is extremely mad after finding out that the Essex County Superintendent of Elections ,Carmine Casciano, went with two of his staffers to campaign for Corchado’s opponent in the North Ward, Anibal Ramos.

    Carmine Casciano has been taken off the county website as the SOE (0.00 / 0)
    IIRC NJ AG Farber must re-appoint Casciano. Considering the SOE performances at recent Freeholder meetings on the selection of new Voting Machines, it maybe that the SOE is making a move for life after the SOE position.

    Check out my 3 paragraph primer on Polywell Fusion.

    Renomination pending (0.00 / 0)
    See http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/SenateNominations/SenateNominations.asp

    Carmine P. Casciano of West Caldwell
    to be the Essex County Superintendent of Elections
    to succeed himself, for the term prescribed by law.
    Received and Referred to SJU  2/27/2006

    That means the NJ Senate's Judiciary Committee (headed by Nia Gill) is still considering this re-appointment. Should they rubber-stamp him?

    Should they rubber-stamp him? Hell NO! (0.00 / 0)
    We have 10,000 of Sequoia machines designed for fraud, but to Casciano that's of no concern. Only recently, in Pennsylvania, a state voting-machine examiner stopped testing the Sequoia’s Advantages when a test for vote tampering found that a handful of ballots could be transformed into thousands, demonstrating that the machines could be manipulated. When asked about it by a reporter, Casciano responded: “I have no idea what happened in Pennsylvania or Chicago. I don’t read about any of that.”

    I don't know who might replace him, but whoever it might be, I can't see how it possibly could be worse.
