1 The Mercer County Board of Commissioners has
2 requested to have a presentation this evening regarding
3 the voting process and the issues that were experienced
4 on Election Day.
5 We requested this to clarify the problems that
6 occurred and to discuss the issues in an open,
7 transparent and public process.
8 My hope is that this presentation will give the
9 public a clear picture as to what occurred so that the
10 election and its process can continue to have the
11 public's confidence in it.
12 The election process and voting are the
13 cornerstones of our democracy. And we must perform our
14 due diligence to ensure that we do not have this issue
15 that we have had in this past election ever occur
16 again.
17 After the presentation by the election officials
18 and the vendors and involved parties, I have chosen to
19 use the Chair's privilege to allow the public comment
20 immediately following.
21 If you wish to comment, please fill out the
22 designated sheet and return them to our staff and you
23 will be called to the microphone.
24 I respectfully ask all hearing attendants to
25 remain decorum. I certainly understand there's a level

www.RLResources.com
7
1 of frustration, I, however, will not tolerate unruly
2 behavior as we proceed.
3 Do any of my colleagues have anything they would
4 like to say before I proceed?
5 Thank you.
6 I would like to ask the Mercer County Prosecutor
7 Angelo Onofri to come to the podium with his report.
8 MR. ONOFRI: Angelo Onofri, O-N-O-F-R-I.
9 Chairperson Melker, members of the board, county
10 executives, thank you for having me here this evening.
11 And I just wanted to take a moment to introduce the
12 members of my office who participated in this
13 investigation.
14 We have officer in charge William Jet, Detective
15 Sherry Johnson, Detective Michael Sedwick, and
16 Detective Edward Hughes. They've worked tirelessly on
17 this. They've conducted numerous interviews, reviewed
18 numerous documents. And I'm extremely proud of the
19 work that they've done.
20 The Mercer County Prosecutor's Office was asked to
21 investigate the Election Day failure of voting machines
22 and their failure to register votes to determine if
23 there was any criminal conduct or tampering with the
24 voting machines.
25 Our investigation revealed that the failure of the

www.RLResources.com
8
1 machines was not the results of tampering or any
2 criminal conduct. Rather, the issue stems back to an
3 error of miscommunication concerning the coding on the
4 Election Day ballots and the voting machines. Because
5 the same codes were not used on the ballots and voting
6 machines, the machines did not register the votes on
7 Election Day.
8 We received a call from the county clerk on
9 Election Day. And she explained the issues that were
10 occurring with voting. Because of that, we then went
11 into an investigation, and on the next day we met with
12 the clerk.
13 She reported that the Dominion manufactured and
14 coded voting machines purchased by the County didn't
15 tabulate the ballots throughout the Mercer County's 243
16 voting districts on Election Day.
17 The failure forced each voting location to use
18 paper ballots which were collected and placed in the
19 emergency bin of the voting machines at each location
20 to successfully count the citizens votes.
21 The ballots were then transported to the Mercer
22 County Board of Elections where they were counted using
23 separate high speed scanners.
24 The clerk had asked our office to determine
25 whether or not there was any criminal conduct or any

www.RLResources.com
9
1 potential tampering with any of the voting machines.
2 We notified the Office of Public Integrity and
3 Accountability of the Attorney General's office, as
4 will as Attorney General Platkin of the issues. We
5 were informed that the Attorney General's office and
6 OPIA was aware of this due to the Deputy's Attorney
7 General assigned to the Elections Division within the
8 State Government.
9 The Office of Public Integrity and Accountability
10 authorized us to continue the investigation and at that
11 point we continued and kept to update OPIA on any of
12 the issues that were occurring.
13 The detectives who I introduced were assigned to
14 this case, along with Supervising Assistant Prosecutor
15 Rachel Cooke.
16 During the 2022 general election, there were 243
17 election districts utilizing 199 voting machines. Our
18 review was simply limited to whether there was any
19 criminality and to determine what occurred.
20 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Excuse me, they're asking if
21 you can speak up because they can't hear you
22 downstairs. I apologize.
23 MS. ONOFRI: Okay. No problem.
24 On Veteran's Day, my office, including myself, met
25 with the Superintendent of Elections, Nate Walker,

www.RLResources.com
10
1 Supervisor Paul Dombrowski, Deputy Attorney General
2 Susan Scott from the Division of Elections was on the
3 phone, and Anthony Pacone, the Deputy Director of OPIA
4 was also informed of the meeting. I would also note
5 that Walker Worthy was also with us, and extremely
6 helpful during the process.
7 And, in fact, I might as well say that now,
8 everyone, Royal Printing, Dominion Voting Machines, the
9 Superintendent, the County Clerk, everyone was
10 incredibly cooperative and wanted to get to the bottom
11 of what occurred.
12 I think the best place to start is back in June or
13 July of 2022. As the Commissioners may recall, there
14 was a series of legislation that passed for voting
15 reforms. And one of those reforms was that at the
16 voting district level ballots had to be tabulated at
17 the voting district level rather than by municipality.
18 Beginning with this 2022 General Election, mail-in
19 ballots had to be done at the district level; however,
20 provisional ballots, that requirement didn't kick in
21 until 2023.
22 As the Commissioners are aware, election ballots
23 are printed by Royal Printing and the county ballots
24 had been printed by Royal for 16 years.
25 The voting machines and the election software are

www.RLResources.com
11
1 supplied by Dominion Voting Machine Systems, and the
2 machines are also programmed by Dominion.
3 The responsibilities to get the ballot printed are
4 the clerk provides the content of the ballots. That's
5 the ballot position, the names, the municipality, and
6 as everyone is aware, the clerk determines through a
7 draw what line position everyone gets.
8 Royal Printing created the design of the ballots
9 incorporating the content from the clerk, as well as
10 the electronic codes on the ballots or timing marks
11 which enable the machines to read the ballots.
12 Dominion created the coding for the ballots
13 through a program provided to Royal Printing and they
14 code the voting machines to properly count the ballots.
15 The process requires naturally Dominion and Royal
16 to coordinate the coding on the ballot with the coding
17 on the machine so the ballots could be properly read
18 and tabulated by the voting machine.
19 We're going to use the term "failure," but as
20 we'll explain later, it actually was not a failure.
21 The failure of the machines to read the ballots was due
22 to a coding error and the miscommunication between
23 Royal and Dominion.
24 Now, just a bit about the process. Royal will get
25 the final approval to proceed with printing the ballots

www.RLResources.com
12
1 from the clerk. Royal then runs the ballots through a
2 rendering tool that was provided by Dominion. That's
3 what creates the timing marks which allows the ballots
4 to be counted by the voting machines. Royal adds the
5 timing marks to the ballot and then e-mails the
6 completed coded ballots to Dominion. Dominion then
7 programs the voting machines using the coded ballots
8 provided by Royal. And both Royal and Dominion have
9 agreed on this process as we've discussed during the
10 course of our interviews with the parties.
11 On October 4th, the final ballot forms were signed
12 off on by Sue Hanson from the Election Supervisor. And
13 on October 5th, there was a conference call held
14 between the clerk, Dominion, Royal, and the election
15 supervisor.
16 Coding by district was discussed in the creation
17 of the Election Day ballots. Now, recall the coding by
18 district was only required for the mail-in ballots for
19 the 2022 general election.
20 A decision was made by the clerk that we would
21 utilize the old system for provisional ballots and have
22 18 provisional ballot forms printed rather than 243.
23 This was keeping it at the municipality level rather
24 than the voting district level.
25 The decision was later confirmed by a series of

www.RLResources.com
13
1 communication between the parties. And by "the
2 parties," it's Royal, Dominion, and the clerk. All the
3 parties agree that the content of these communications
4 and the decision to utilize only 18 forms did take
5 place.
6 Now, if I could ask the Commissioners just to take
7 a quick look at the document -- yes. Commissioner
8 Cimino is holding up the 18 provisional voting
9 districts. And what you will see there is two ballots
10 from Election Day -- or one ballot from Election Day
11 that is marked "spoiled." The other ballot doesn't
12 have any markings on it because that was the actual
13 test deck ballot that we utilized.
14 On the left -- and you'll note, these were all
15 from the Trenton - South - District 6. If you notice
16 on the right-hand side on the ballot marked "spoiled,"
17 the coding number is 462. And if you look at the
18 actual Election Day ballot, the coding number is 687.
19 Exactly 225 off.
20 Also, if you put the two ballots next to each
21 other, you'll notice that the timing marks are
22 different. And the timing marks are those lines that
23 are surrounding it, and you'll see that they're a
24 little bit off.
25 Royal printed based on utilizing only the 18

www.RLResources.com
14
1 provisional ballot forms. Dominion program based on
2 the 243 provisional ballot forms that will be required
3 by law next year. That's why the codes are off by 225
4 on each and every voting district ballot.
5 I would note that if you do the math, it's 243
6 minus 18 is 225. That is the difference. The
7 discrepancy caused the machines on Election Day not to
8 read the Election Day ballot.
9 But the reality is the machines from Dominion
10 worked as they should have worked. Because the timing
11 marks were off, it was picking up that this was a
12 fraudulent ballot. The timing marks have to match in
13 order for the scanner to work. Anything that doesn't
14 match up is considered to be fraudulent by the
15 tabulator machine. So clearly the machines worked as
16 they should have.
17 Just a couple notes about these machines.
18 Initially they are not cloud based and they are not
19 connected to the Internet. The elections employees
20 cannot change or reprogram the ballots that are put
21 into the voting machines. The election server isn't
22 connected to the cloud or the Internet. There are two
23 computers that can be used to program the SD or the SIM
24 cards that are placed into the machines by the
25 employees, but they cannot reprogram the machine.

www.RLResources.com

1 The New Jersey Cyber Security and Communications
2 Integration Cell, commonly referred to as the New
3 Jersey Tech has tried to hack into these voting
4 machines. They have been unable to do so. And they
5 are among the top computer folks that we have here in
6 the State. So they are unable to do that.
7 I think the next thing to get into is that there
8 was some question raised about why did the voting
9 machines work properly during the inspection which took
10 place from October 21st to October 24th?
11 The answer is that that voting deck, that ballot
12 deck that was used that day was prepared by Dominion
13 based on the 243 voting districts. That deck worked as
14 it should have been because that's how the machines
15 were programmed. But it was this discrepancy that came
16 up later on that caused the -- and we'll use it in air
17 quotes "failure" of the voting machines on Election
18 Day.
19 There's been some information raised about ballots
20 from Robbinsville Township, as well as Princeton. The
21 Robbinsville ballots were actually at the Board of
22 Elections on election night. Our investigation
23 revealed that those ballots just weren't counted that
24 evening.
25 The ballots from Princeton, three empty voting

www.RLResources.com
16
1 bags were delivered to the Board of Elections. The
2 next day a Court Order was obtained by the Election's
3 personnel, those three machines were open and the
4 ballots were located in the emergency bin where they
5 should have been. And there are anti-tampering devices
6 on the voting machines. None of those were tampered
7 with. They were actually opened by the Election's
8 personnel and we're confident that these ballots
9 weren't tampered with.
10 So with that, this really does come down to a
11 communication error on that part. And, again, we just
12 want to thank everyone for their cooperation, from the
13 clerk to Royal Printing to Dominion Voting Machines,
14 Superintendent Walker, we appreciated all of their
15 input in this.
16 So if any of the Commissioners have any questions,
17 I'd be happy to answer those.
18 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Anyone?
19 COMMISSIONER WALTER: Thank you.
20 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Thank you very much.
21 COMMISSIONER CIMINO: Thank you, Prosecutor.
22 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: I would now like to invite our
23 County Executive Brian Hughes to the podium.
24 MR. HUGHES: Thank you, Prosecutor. You're
25 leaving the room pretty quickly. You must not want to

www.RLResources.com
17
1 stay for the 70 resolutions that we have.
2 We all are aware two weeks ago in-person voting in
3 our general election was hammered by all sorts of
4 problems. There were issues with scanners leading to
5 slower than normal tallies. The good news is that we
6 have paper ballots to count. But the mix-up brings us
7 to larger issues in how we do our elections in Mercer
8 County and how we count our votes.
9 This is something that should never happen again.
10 And I think one of the issues is that we have an
11 election system brought upon us by the Government and
12 the State of New Jersey that has a County Clerk who's
13 elected, it's a constitutional office, but we also have
14 a Superintendent of Elections and we have a Board of
15 Elections. And those folks are brought to us through a
16 political means.
17 The Chairwoman of the Republican Party, Lisa
18 Richford, and the Chairwoman of the Democratic Party,
19 Ms. Mironov, are the ones that appoint the Directors of
20 the Elections Board. They also are involved in the
21 employment of the workers of the Election Board. And
22 also have a hand in who the superintendent of election
23 is. That's something we cannot ignore and resolve.
24 But that's something -- those are three different
25 elements that have a hand in who decides what process

www.RLResources.com
18
1 we have our elections in. And I think it's something
2 that our Board, your Board, Madam Chair, can do
3 something about.
4 Camden County and a few other counties just
5 recently changed their process to merge their
6 Superintendent Board with their Elections Board. So
7 you have a more professional, you have an executive
8 director, you have someone who is absolutely in charge
9 and dedicated to controlling and -- not controlling --
10 into producing election results for the county that we
11 may need to take a look at. And I ask you all to take
12 a look at that.
13 COMMISSIONER CIMINO: County Executive?
14 MR. HUGHES: Yes. Go ahead.
15 COMMISSIONER CIMINO: In regards to the model in
16 Camden, is that Executive Director appointed? How do
17 they come to the Executive Director --
18 MR. HUGHES: Well, listen, I'd have to check in on
19 that with you, John.
20 COMMISSIONER CIMINO: Okay.
21 MR. HUGHES: But I think I don't want to have any
22 role, and I don't now have a role in how we --
23 elections. That would bring a fourth finger in the
24 pot, which we don't need.
25 COMMISSIONER CIMINO: Okay.

www.RLResources.com
19
1 MR. HUGHES: But I think to merge those three,
2 right now we have a superintendent who is appointed by
3 the governor with the chair's recommendation and
4 approved by the Senator. We have a Board of Elections
5 that are appointed by the two Chairs, the Democrat and
6 Republican party. And I think it's just too convoluted
7 to have the kind of elections that we have now.
8 We have drop-off ballots. We have mail-in
9 ballots. We have in-person ballots. You can vote
10 three weeks before the election and three weeks -- it
11 seems like three weeks after the election.
12 But we really need to take a look at who is in
13 charge of our election process. It ought to be one
14 person that we can go to and see what happens and what
15 went wrong.
16 And I appreciate the Prosecutor. He said Dominion
17 didn't make a mistake. Royal didn't make a mistake.
18 The Clerk didn't make a mistake. The Superintendent
19 and the Board didn't make any mistakes. Yet, we are
20 one of 21 counties where our machines didn't work and
21 we became a statewide, and I'll admit it, we became a
22 statewide embarrassment, quite frankly. We weren't
23 able to count our votes on Election Day, and that
24 should never happen again. And what modifications we
25 need to make, we are here as the County, we will spend

www.RLResources.com
20
1 whatever money it takes. We will make whatever
2 modification it takes. But we will be behind this
3 Board to work with you to make the changes that we need
4 to make. Thank you very much.
6 I am now going to turn the presentation to the
7 election officials and the service vendors for any
8 comments that they would like to share.
9 We invited you here to provide information and
10 also to allow you to hear the concerns of the public.
11 So I will open it up to whoever wants to come up to the
12 podium to share any additional information with us.
13 MR. WALKER: Madam Chair, Commissioners, members
14 of the public, my name is Nathaniel Walker, Mercer
15 County Superintendent of Elections.
16 County executives, I applaud this effort to
17 explain to the public what happened on Election Day.
18 I'm not going to testify on things that I don't have
19 any knowledge of. I can assure you that the machines,
20 as the prosecutor indicated, were passing the program
21 and did accept the test ballots.
22 That's about all I guess I can say at this point,
23 and I would like to ask the county clerk to come up.
24 And we do have a protocol that we've been
25 following, and the current protocol for testing the

www.RLResources.com
21
1 machines is a protocol that we used in 2021 for the
2 general election, and we also used that same protocol
3 in 2022 for the primary.
4 I've talked with Dominion, and we're going to
5 institute new protocols to offset this current
6 situation. I'm fortunate to say that Bob Giles is here
7 from Dominion and he can explain that further.
8 Without further adieu, the County Clerk, Paula
9 Covello.
10 MS. SOLLAMI COVELLO: Good evening, everyone.
11 Thank you so much County Commissioners for having this
12 open forum tonight. It is wonderful to have an
13 opportunity to tell the public exactly what happened.
14 And I want to thank very much, Prosecutor Onofri
15 and their amazing team, for a very thorough
16 investigation in which you really clearly explained
17 exactly what happened in detail, and I think that made
18 it much easier for all of us to come explain it
19 tonight. So, I thank you, I thought it brought forth
20 integrity, transparency, and it really accurately
21 explained what happened.
22 We are here to explain anything further if you'd
23 like to know, but I will tell you that the County
24 Clerk's office did print the ballots exactly as
25 requested. And they were properly, you know, sent over

www.RLResources.com
22
1 and we have all kinds of evidence to show and proof of
2 e-mails, things of that nature, to show what we did to
3 make sure that they were sent properly.
4 Beyond that, there's nothing more I can say,
5 except that we always work hard and we make sure that
6 everyone has an ability to have their vote cast, their
7 vote counted, and we did that again in this election.
8 I think the fact that we had a paper trail, and we
9 have paper, it's an excellent investment that the
10 County made. Because if we would have had a breakdown
11 in equipment prior to this, there would not have been
12 an election. If the machines went down without a paper
13 trail, we could not have gone forward. But because you
14 had invested in buying these machines, we were able to
15 take that paper back, we were able to count the votes.
16 And as you know, we completed it on time. Today
17 all those ballots were certified to my office on time
18 because today is the State deadline, and in compliance
19 with the law. Some counties still are still counting,
20 but Mercer is done. We had completed our count on
21 time. And now I have until the 26th for us to create
22 the reports for us to certify to the State.
23 So I want to make sure that everybody knows that
24 that despite the setbacks, Mercer is in compliance,
25 everybody voted, and the election went forward.

www.RLResources.com
23
1 So I thank you so much again for having this, and
2 I thank you all. Thank you.
3 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Next speaker.
4 MR. GILES: Good evening, everyone. My name is
5 Bob Giles. I'm the Vice President of Certification and
6 Compliance for Dominion Voting Systems.
7 And just a quick little background, I started
8 there May 2nd. Prior to that, I was with the Ocean
9 County Board of Elections for 13 years. And I was the
10 State Election Director for New Jersey for the last
11 14 years, retiring May 1st.
12 I want to thank you for having us here to have the
13 transparency to discuss what did occur, and how we are
14 going to improve the process so that it never occurs
15 again.
16 So, as the Prosecutor said, and Dominion agrees,
17 that it's been determined that this was not a Dominion
18 tabulation equipment issue, nor was it a printing
19 error.
20 Royal Printing has always and continues to print
21 high quality ballots that meets Dominion's
22 requirements. This was entirely a process error that
23 relates to individual ballot ID as a result of a change
24 to the provisional ballots, as the Prosecutor
25 discussed.

www.RLResources.com
24
1 I'm going to walkthrough it quickly, and some of

2 it will be repetitive, but I want to just make sure
3 everybody understands how the process works and what
4 occurred for this election.
5 So setting up an election requires a partnership
6 between the County Clerk, Royal Printing and Dominion.
7 The County Clerk works with the printer to design and
8 layout the ballot for each town.
9 When that phase is completed, Dominion staff
10 verifies that the timing marks and the target areas,
11 the ovals, are correct. This was completed on
12 September 16th of this year.
13 The printer then assigns unique ballot IDs that
14 represent each towns individual wards and election
15 districts to the ballots. These unique ballot IDs --
16 THE COURT REPORTER: Sir, can you slow it down a
17 little bit?
18 MR. GILES: I'm sorry.
19 When that phase is completed, Dominion staff
20 verifies that the timing marks and target areas, the
21 ovals where you cast the votes, are correct. This was
22 completed on September 16th.
23 The printer then assigns unique ballot IDs that
24 represent each towns individual wards and election
25 districts to the ballots. These unique ballot IDs are

www.RLResources.com
25
1 what tells the system where to assign the votes cast on
2 the ballot. The election database cannot be created
3 without this information.
4 On October 5th at 11:33 a.m., Dominion received
5 the files that contained this information. This is an
6 individual file for vote by mail ballots, provisional
7 ballots, Election Day ballots, and early voting
8 ballots. There was a total of 974 individual ballot
9 IDs in this first set of files. Dominion staff
10 immediately began building the election database.
11 On that day, October 5th at roughly 2:00 p.m.,
12 there was a phone call between the County Clerk, Royal
13 Printing and Dominion. During this call, a decision
14 was made not to produce provisional ballots by town,
15 ward and district, but rather just by town and ward.
16 This reduced the number of unique ballot IDs required
17 by 225.
18 On October 5th at 3:51 p.m., Dominion staff
19 received the updated set of files containing the change
20 to the provisional ballot ID, removing the 225 unique
21 provisional ballot IDs. This is where a
22 miscommunication occurred.
23 The Dominion staff thought that only the
24 provisional ballot IDs were changed, but in fact, the
25 Election Day and early voting ballot IDs were also

www.RLResources.com
26
1 adjusted to reflect the new numbering sequence of 225
2 less ballot IDs. As a result of this, Dominion staff
3 updated the database with the new ballot ID numbers for
4 the provisional ballots only.
5 On Election Day, when the ballots at the polling
6 sites were run through the tabulators, the tabulators
7 did not recognize the ballot IDs, and therefore would
8 not scan the ballots. This is how the tabulators are
9 certified to work.
10 Once it was determined what the issue was,
11 Dominion and Royal Printing worked together to update
12 the central tabulators, the high speed tabulators that
13 the Prosecutor spoke of, so they would be able to read
14 the Election Day ballots at the Board of Elections
15 office.
16 Voters were instructed to vote as they would
17 normally, and that their ballots would be counted at
18 the Board of Elections office, as opposed to scanning
19 locally.
20 Just so you're aware, and Paula spoke of, the
21 County Clerk spoke of meeting the deadline to certify,
22 over 94 percent of the ballots were counted by 4 p.m.
23 the next day. So in less than twenty-four hours, 94
24 percent of the ballots were counted.
25 We have been working closely with Royal Printing

www.RLResources.com
27
1 to define an updated change management system that
2 ensures this will never happen again. If the County
3 needs to make any changes after the initial election
4 has been configured, the new process will not only call
5 out the specific changes that have been made, it will
6 also explicitly define what hasn't changed. With this
7 process improvement, we are confident that all of this
8 will never happen again.
9 And I just want to reference there was some talk
10 about the test deck, why it read properly and the
11 Superintendent's Office did exactly what they were
12 supposed to do. So we create test deck to make sure
13 the system is reading the ballots accurately.
14 The test deck has a complicated sequence of votes,
15 votes cast resulting in over 5000 individual ballots.
16 So just so you understand, what we look to do with this
17 is, if there are five candidates, you want to make sure
18 that each location is correct. So the first candidate
19 has to get five votes, the second four, then three,
20 then two, then one. This sequence has to occur. So in
21 order to do that, it generates an incredible number of
22 ballots.
23 Due to the size and complexity of the test deck
24 that is generated from the election database and the
25 PDFs are printed by Royal Printing. Since the test

www.RLResources.com
28
1 deck was printed from the database, the tabulators
2 recognize the ballot IDs and scan the ballots during
3 L&N, during the logic and accuracy test. So because
4 the ballots were generated from the system which had
5 the original ballot ID numbers, that's why the system
6 and the tabulators recognized that.
7 So moving forward, for the tabulation, what we're
8 going to do is not only have the ballots that are
9 generated from the system, we are also going to include
10 printed ballots from the printer so they get included
11 so if we had 5000 ballots, we will have an additional
12 243 ballots, one for each individual ballot ID. So
13 this way we will be certain that not only will the
14 patterns and the result expected come out, but also the
15 ballots printed by the printer will also be scanned.
16 Do you have any questions?
17 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Commissioner Cimino?
18 COMMISSIONER CIMINO: Thank you, Chairwoman.
19 Can you help me understand how much counties in
20 New Jersey are you in?
21 MR. GILES: We -- well, there's a bit of a mix
22 with old equipment and new equipment.
23 COMMISSIONER CIMINO: With this --
24 MR. GILES: With this system, the only other
25 county that does exactly what you guys are currently

www.RLResources.com
29
1 doing is Essex County, and they've been doing it since
2 2020.
3 THE COURT: And is Royal Printing also the printer
4 for Essex?
5 MR. GILES: No.
6 COMMISSIONER CIMINO: So, obviously there was no
7 issue in Essex that you're aware of?
8 MR. GILES: Yeah. That I'm aware of, no.
9 The issue, and we haven't had an issue with Royal
10 Printing. They've been a great partner. What happened
11 that is different is that we made a change, and after
12 the initial file was sent and --
13 COMMISSIONER CIMINO: Who's "we"?
14 MR. GILES: So that's what I was saying, so the
15 County Clerk, Dominion and Royal had a phone call and
16 the decision was made -- so in the initial file the
17 provisional ballots were down to the district level.
18 That's how we got to that 243. On that call -- and
19 that was what was in the original file that was sent.
20 But later in that day, 2 o'clock on that phone
21 call, a decision was made because it wasn't required by
22 law to have the provisional ballots by district, that
23 they would not produce them by individual election
24 district, they would only produce those by town and
25 ward. So that was the difference. And that's the

www.RLResources.com
30
1 lesson learned when going into a change.
2 And this is only the second general election that
3 Mercer County is utilizing preprinted paper ballots.
4 So it's a new process. And, unfortunately, sometimes
5 there are lessons learned and we get better from that,
6 and that is what we intend to do. And as far as I
7 know, this is the first time we dealt with a change and
8 that's where the issue arose from.
9 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Any other questions?
10 COMMISSIONER STOKES: I have one.
11 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Go ahead.
12 COMMISSIONER STOKES: When we talk about these
13 changes that occurred, right, typically that's followed
14 up and documented in an e-mail or some type of formal
15 formalized communication whereas it minimizes the
16 opportunities for those type of mistakes to happen.
17 Did that occur in this instance? Or did we took
18 what happened on a phone call and said, okay, this is
19 what's going to be the documented change that we're
20 going to do.
21 MR. GILES: So there was a follow-up e-mail that
22 said these are the new files. Where the
23 misunderstanding was the Dominion team member who was
24 on the call left the call thinking that it was only
25 going to be the provisional ballots that were changed.

www.RLResources.com
31
1 So when the new files came over, the staff only updated
2 the provisional ballots. They did not update the
3 Election Day or early voting ballot files.
4 So the early voting ballots worked okay. There
5 wasn't an issue with those because the early voting was
6 conducted with the ballot marking devices. So those
7 recognized -- those were setup and programmed by
8 Dominion using the original database. Had you used
9 preprinted ballots for early voting, you would have had
10 the same problem. But because the early voting
11 machines were looking at the original database, that's
12 why the ballot on Dominion printers worked and the
13 scanners were able to accurately read those.
14 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Commissioner Walter?
15 COMMISSIONER WALTER: Just to follow-up on that.
16 So because in early voting, they must be able to
17 recognize all 243 districts, right? Because when I go
18 in, I can go to any early voting place.
19 MR. GILES: Yes.
20 COMMISSIONER WALTER: And so those were set to do
21 that original process?
22 MR. GILES: Correct.
23 COMMISSIONER WALTER: And it was the Election Day,
24 that's why early voting worked and Election --
25 MR. GILES: Early voting worked because we used

www.RLResources.com
32
1 the ballot marking devices, exactly, which were
2 programmed based on the original database.
3 So had we used tabulators in early voting and
4 preprinted those, we would have run in to the same
5 issue.
6 COMMISSIONER WALTER: Thank you.
7 COMMISSIONER STOKES: Just for clarification, the
8 date for the test deck?
9 MR. GILES: The test deck?
10 COMMISSIONER STOKES: What was that date?
11 MR. GILES: So the ballots were received on
12 October 5th. The test deck was generated on
13 October 9th. And, again, I don't want to speak to the
14 Superintendents, but my understanding is --
15 MR. WALKER: We received them on the 11th,
16 October 11th.
17 MR. GILES: So they received them on October 11th,
18 that's what I have.
19 And the other issue -- and early voting started on
20 October 29th. So as discussed, you know, with the
21 changes in legislation, and you know, last year we
22 started early voting, that cut the timeline down by ten
23 days to have your ballots ready. So we had a little
24 bit of a perfect storm this year where we have a very
25 compressed timeline and then there was a change made

www.RLResources.com
33
1 and resulted in this unfortunate situation.
2 But like I said, we have a plan. We're working
3 closely with Royal Printing so it doesn't happen again.
4 COMMISSIONER WALTER: Sorry. Just for
5 clarification, and that call happened when?
6 MR. GILES: October 5th.
7 COMMISSIONER WALTER: October 5th.
8 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Any other questions?
9 MR. GILES: Thank you.
10 MS. SOLLAMI COVELLO: I just wanted to clarify the
11 timeline. Paula Sollami Covello, County Clerk. Kevin
12 Passante from Royal Printing is going to speak.
13 But I just wanted to let you know that all of that
14 occurred on the same day. So at 11:30 in the morning
15 on October 5th, we had an e-mail with the ballot
16 styles.
17 We had a call at 2 p.m. where we said we didn't
18 want to have provisionals broken down by district
19 because that was going to create more time and money
20 for all of us. It costs money when you prepare a
21 ballot style. So instead of having 243 professional
22 styles, we decided to go by town to save money and save
23 time.
24 And then at 430, the same day, Royal Printing and
25 Dominion sent an acknowledgement that they had received

www.RLResources.com
34
1 all of the updates from Dominion and that they were
2 going to implement and reprogram based on the call. So
3 it all took place on the same day. And that's why, you
4 know, and they did acknowledge and they were willing to
5 accept that, they did acknowledge that they were going
6 to change the ballot styles and they sent us the new
7 styles. So something just happened, a human error took
8 place where somebody did not make the program changes
9 that they were sent.
10 MR. PASSANTE: Good evening. Kevin Passante,
11 P-A-S-S-A-N-T-E, from Royal Printing.
12 And I don't want to keep everybody all night with
13 repetitive, you know, retelling of the story --
14 MR. HERBERT: I apologize, Mr. Passante. Can you
15 state what your position is with Royal Printing?
16 MR. PASSANTE: Sure. I'm one of the owners of the
17 company. My brother and I are partners in the
18 business.
19 MR. HERBERT: Thank you.
20 MR. PASSANTE: You know, I don't want to restate I
21 guess a lot of the things that were said here. But to
22 give you a little bit of background on my company,
23 we've been printing ballots since 1992. We are
24 contracted with ten different counties in the State of
25 New Jersey to print ballots. And we print election

www.RLResources.com
35
1 ballots using all different machine types and voting
2 machines, and we've adapted with the changes as the
3 changes have come. So I am very familiar with the
4 process. It's not that I'm not -- I heard some
5 comments before about Essex County and not, but we deal
6 with all different types of voting machines and
7 ballots.
8 Pretty much what everyone said up here is
9 accurate. I'm the one that discovered what the reason
10 was on Election Day when I heard that there were issues
11 that the machines weren't scanning. And, you know, we
12 were hearing all kinds of theories, you know, as to why
13 they weren't working. And I said, well, you know,
14 what's going on? And we figured out that the ballot
15 code numbers were off by 225. That rang in my head
16 very clearly. I said, you know, 225 is not a random
17 number. That's the difference between the 243 and the
18 18. So I immediately knew it had to do with the change
19 that was made on October the 5th when the ballots were
20 approved by County Clerk Covello's office.
21 Protocol for my job and our process, I think it
22 was stated a little bit earlier, we get the information
23 from the county clerk's office. We set up and layout
24 all of the ballots. We get the approval of the County
25 Clerk, who has jurisdiction over the ballot layout and

www.RLResources.com
36
1 what the ballot looks like based on what the drawing
2 results are. They then review them for content, go
3 through them and check to make sure everyone's name is
4 spelled correctly, dates and instructions are correct
5 on those ballots. And then from there, they sign off
6 on each of the versions and say, okay, you're okay to
7 print.
8 The new procedure with these new machines that
9 were put into place in Mercer County now, as Bob Giles
10 had said, required us to code the ballots by individual
11 district so that way the county is getting the most
12 accurate district specific results.
13 So that was done on the vote by mail ballots,
14 which are the first ballots that are done because those
15 are always the first ones you want to get in the mail,
16 and those ballots were numbered like 1 to 243. Hence,
17 those ballots wouldn't have been affected by pulling
18 out any numbers because they were the first ones that
19 were produced.
20 Any ballots that were produced after the
21 provisional ballots where the error happened, where
22 there were originally 243 and the County Clerk said I
23 don't want to spend the money for 243 of those yet if
24 we don't have to, let's go to 18, once we did that, any
25 ballots that would have gone after that had to be

www.RLResources.com
37
1 resequenced, renumbered, so that included the Election
2 Day ballots.
3 So we then, you know, were told by Dominion, you
4 need to re-code the whole election whenever there's a
5 change. So we re-coded all of the ballots on October
6 the 5th when Paula Covello made the decision that we
7 were not going to go with 243 versions of the
8 provisional ballot, we're going to go with 18. We then
9 re-coded all of the ballots.
10 Now my process is I send those to Dominion and
11 say, okay, here are the ballots. So they had been sent
12 earlier in the day before the conference call and
13 before the decision was made to go to only 18
14 provisional ballots.
15 And then the conference call took place a couple
16 hours later and Paula decided that we were only going
17 to go with only 18 versions, so we were instructed by
18 Dominion to re-code. Okay. You know you're going to
19 have to re-code, Kevin, and I said yes. And then we
20 re-coded and sent them to Dominion. Dominion
21 acknowledged that they did get them; however, when they
22 reprogrammed the machines, they didn't program the
23 machines thinking that the Election Day ballots have
24 also changed. And we had changed the Election Day
25 ballots because you want to keep all of the ballots in

www.RLResources.com
38
1 sequential number order. That's my story.
2 If I can answer any questions for anybody, I'm
3 happy to do so.
4 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: Can I ask a question?
5 MR. PASSANTE: Sure.
6 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: No. No. I'm sorry. We don't
7 do that.
8 MR. PASSANTE: I was talking to the panel, okay.
9 Very good. Thank you.
10 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Is there anybody else from the
11 election officials or vendors that wanted to come up
12 and advise us?
13 No. I think we're going to do public comment now,
14 Wayne. I have to wait and then do other comment, okay.
15 Assemblyman, since you are an elected official, I
16 am going to allow you to speak.
17 MR. DeANGELO: Good evening, my name is Wayne
18 DeAngelo. I reside at 105 Limewood Drive in Hamilton,
19 New Jersey. I'm a representative of the 14 Legislative
20 District.
21 Madam Chair, Vice Chair, County Commissioners,
22 thank you for allowing me a few moments to discuss some
23 concerns that I have, and thank you again for having
24 this hearing.
25 Myself as well brought this to the attention of

www.RLResources.com
39
1 the Legislature on potentially doing a hearing very
2 similar like you have, so that's why I'm standing in
3 the back trying to get as much information as I can.
4 So we've been entrusted by the residence of Mercer
5 County to review their representatives and make sure
6 that their voices are heard, whether it's legislation
7 we're passing, whether it's the things we're doing, or
8 their vote, all right.
9 We made changes to try to make things better to
10 try to open up to allow more people the opportunity to
11 vote, different time frames to vote, but that integrity
12 has been broken. Right. We all see that.
13 I think the room, and I think the residents need
14 to figure out where that problem was because we can
15 talk a lot, and we can hear from the vendors what's
16 going on, but I don't know if the residents are
17 comfortable with that. I don't know whether the
18 discussions that take place from whether was it the
19 marker that was used, or it going into a dumpster that
20 looks like where the scanners are, is it where are my
21 votes going? How come the super scanners -- I heard
22 the term "super scanners" work, but these don't work.
23 And I've heard the explanations by the vendors, and I
24 appreciate wholeheartedly the efforts on behalf of the
25 prosecutor's office for ensuring that the votes that

www.RLResources.com
40
1 are there now have been counted, that everyone showed
2 up on Election Day and their vote has been heard, but
3 we have to do better.
4 I'm willing to work with the County and your
5 Commissioners to make sure that we are -- that
6 everybody's vote counts. It's scary. And I hate to
7 say it, we made national attention that day. When I
8 get a phone call, hey dad, we're on national attention
9 right here in Mercer County and not necessarily for a
10 good thing.
11 Thank you. I'm going to stand in the back here
12 and hear some more concerns. And I appreciate
13 everything. Thank you very much for doing this. And
14 when we do ours at the State, I want to ask that you
15 guys come as well as representatives to kind of give me
16 some more feedback -- and she's typing very quickly,
17 and I'm trying not to talk too fast here -- and make
18 sure that every voice is heard, so thank you.
20 COMMISSIONER WALTER: Assemblyman, I want to thank
21 you for coming. And I do want to say that I hope as we
22 go into these hearings, there will be a dedicated
23 source of funding for counties because the legislative
24 changes and the compression of timelines has really
25 affected the county offices that deal with elections.

www.RLResources.com
41
1 And, you know, it's easy some times to pass the
2 legislation and the legislation may be absolutely
3 accurate, exactly what we need. But I think some times
4 the timing was off and it put additional pressure on a
5 system that already is a high pressure system.
6 So as you go back and they do these hearings,
7 perhaps that piece can be looked at too in helping the
8 counties to have the most open fairest election we
9 possibly can.
10 MR. DeANGELO: Thank you, Vice Chair. And some of
11 the things that people have said to be as well is our
12 federal government has given that voting autonomy to
13 the individual states. And that we here in New Jersey
14 have taken that and given it to the counties.
15 You know, people said how come there's not one
16 voting system New Jersey wide? Why is everybody
17 potentially doing something different? Depending on
18 who the voters are, we all know as we get set in our
19 ways as we get older, how come my polling location has
20 changed? How come my voting is different this time?
21 The last time I voted it was maybe five or six years
22 ago, it's not the same as it was then.
23 You know, I think in disclosure, I think that we
24 do need to invest more on education and information
25 getting out to people because we all know that some

www.RLResources.com
42
1 times it takes more than one time for the information
2 to get out there.
3 So thank you very much, and I'll be looking
4 forward to listening in the back.
5 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Thank you, Assemblyman.
6 Before we go to public comment, I just wanted to
7 make sure that there was no other presentation we
8 needed from the vendors or any of our election
9 officials?
10 All right. So as I said, we're now going to move
11 into the public comment. So I do want to let everybody
12 know that the public comment will be limited to one
13 session per person with a three minute time
14 restriction. I will be holding everyone to their three
15 minutes as it is our policy, and we want to allow
16 everyone an opportunity to speak.
17 Any formal questions should be addressed to the
18 Chair. And please note that the public comment is not
19 considered to be a Q and A. Questions will be noted
20 and will be responded to in due time, as appropriate.
21 We do have a court stenographer here in attendance so
22 that we will be able to record accurately all of the
23 public comments and any questions.
24 So I will begin --
25 MR. HERBERT: Madam Chair, if I may?

www.RLResources.com
43
1 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Certainly.
2 MR. HERBERT: If you feel an urge to call out,
3 please don't. This young lady hear is the most
4 important person in the room. She's taking down
5 everything that's being said. If you call out, she
6 cannot record who's making a statement up here. You
7 know, anything like that, please try not to do that.
8 We really would appreciate it.
9 Thank you.
10 Oh, yes. When you come up, name and address, and
11 please spell out your last time for the young lady
12 here.
13 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Okay. So the first person I
14 have is Patricia Johnson.
15 MS. JOHNSON: Hi, I'm Patricia Johnson. That's
16 P-A-T-R-I-C-I-A J-O-H-N-S-O-N at 285 Manor Boulevard
17 in Yardville, New Jersey.
18 I have many things that I want to say, but the
19 first things that I want to question is some things
20 that the prosecutor said. He stated that the tags were
21 on the bags when they counted them at the site. I was
22 there. They were not all on the bags when they pulled
23 them out of the voting machines. So I'm not sure who
24 gave them that information, but I was there for every
25 session.

www.RLResources.com
44
1 The other thing I wanted to say was they said that
2 there were three bags they came in from Princeton,
3 Stephanie Reichardt, who is here, as well as myself
4 were there that night. Three bags did not come in
5 empty. Two bags came in. One was full, one was
6 partially full, and one was missing. He came in in an
7 Uber. He stated that the third bag was going to be
8 coming. We waited. We did not see it come. That bag
9 -- so one bag was untagged, and one bag was tagged.
10 That's one thing.
11 And that leads me to saying that integrity is
12 about doing the right thing regardless of circumstance
13 and convenience of any alliance or party. When
14 election integrity is compromised, voters who know
15 their votes matter are disenfranchised out of fear that
16 their votes will not be counted, and that is not what
17 happened. This is not just about the machine, it is
18 about the process that happened throughout.
19 I happened to decide to follow this election
20 because I'm going to be running the next time and I
21 wanted to see what the election went like. Well, I am
22 very, very upset with what I saw.
23 I happened to be at the voting sites when they
24 went down. I saw it. I heard it. I spoke with Severn
25 from Dominion early in the morning at 9:11 to be exact,

www.RLResources.com
45
1 and he told me the machines would not be up the rest of
2 the day.
3 Now, I want to say something, Mary that works in
4 Elections told Christopher Luca, he's a legislative
5 aide, that the machines could have been up in the
6 afternoon but that she made the decision that that
7 wasn't going to happen. So I'm not sure where all this
8 goes, but I know that that could have happened.
9 Now, in saying that, we have a lack of integrity
10 when you have machines that are opened during the day
11 and the tags are taken off and votes are put on the
12 floor, and we have pictures of that.
13 I was at the site when they brought bags in and
14 there were 17 bags in total that were untagged. Some
15 of them were brought in by one person. Some of them
16 were brought in 45 minutes apart by two people from the
17 same site and they were unopened. It's not
18 appropriate. Where is the chain of custody?
19 This is all about the chain of custody. It's not
20 about the machines alone. It's about everything that
21 happened from beginning to end. And I happened to be
22 at each and every one of those things to see it.
23 So I feel that there's so much more that you need
24 to discuss and that we need to think about because it's
25 not fair to the people. We -- I do not believe -- I am

www.RLResources.com
46
1 somebody who believes in our election process, but I
2 believe in integrity. And if we don't show the people
3 in New Jersey --
4 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Thank you. The time is up.
5 Donald Ober?
6 MR. OBER: I'm her brother.
7 Donald Ober, 14 Englewood Boulevard, Hamilton
8 Township, New Jersey. O-B-E-R.
9 With all due respect to everyone here, I think
10 those of us that are concerned about the integrity of
11 the election are chasing the wrong rabbit.
12 I don't even care about the machines at this
13 point. And with all due respect to the prosecutors, I
14 believe they probably did a very good job.
15 However, what happens after that is so important
16 for you to gain the trust of the public. When I go to
17 my polling booth and I see a democrat watcher there and
18 a republican watcher there, I feel safe. I feel my
19 vote matters. However, at the end of the night when I
20 hear that 17 bags left polling places untied in a car
21 that didn't have a republican and a democrat in charge
22 of them, the chain of custody no longer exists.
23 Anybody here that's worked in any kind of legal
24 proceedings knows that if you brought in evidence in a
25 criminal case and the chain of custody was broken, if

www.RLResources.com
47
1 that evidence was sealed by the time it got to the
2 police station it was opened, it would not be
3 permissible. I do not understand why these votes were
4 allowed to continue and why this chain of custody --
5 that's the main issue that we have -- that I have, I'm
6 sorry. I won't speak for anybody else. But that's the
7 main check I have.
8 Because from what I know, and before you get to it
9 I know one answer is going to be let's just say for
10 instance 500 votes went into the bag, 500 votes were
11 delivered. That does not mean the same 500 votes that
12 went in there are the same 500 votes that went out and
13 were tabulated because the chain of custody was broken
14 because the tags were broken. So you do not know
15 whether somebody pulled them out and put something else
16 in. You only know that you got the same exact number
17 of votes that supposedly went into the machine.
18 There's been a lot of talk this year about danger
19 to democracy, threat to democracy. Not trusting the
20 election system is the threat to democracy. And I
21 cannot trust this election.
22 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Lisa Richford?
23 MS. RICHFORD: Good evening. Lisa Richford, 37
24 Burnside Avenue, Hamilton, New Jersey. I am the Mercer
25 County Republican Chairwoman, and I've been a

www.RLResources.com
48
1 challenger for 31 years. I've been Chair for ten
2 years.
3 So with that, I'm not an election theory
4 conspirator or an election denier. I'm here not as a
5 republican or a democrat. I'm here as a voter and
6 what's occurred at this election this time.
7 This should be -- and the single biggest issue
8 right now is corrupt elections. And we don't talk
9 about it. But they are corrupt here in Mercer County.
10 Mercer County made World News Tonight. Voluminous news
11 sources, articles, radio coverage. I mean, we were the
12 only place where every single machine went down. I had
13 fielded hundreds of calls.
14 I'm going to try to speak quicker because I know
15 I've been -- the sheriffs were called on me before when
16 I was here. On July 1st of 2021, we were asked to come
17 to an emergency -- well, we weren't asked. We were
18 surprised by an emergency meeting that was here to
19 approve $3.5 million. 2.5 million -- or you were
20 asked, 2.5 million for Dominion and 1 million for
21 Tenex. Is Tenex here? They received a million
22 dollars.
23 And those were supposed to be questions about the
24 process and procedures that never occurred that
25 evening, process and procedures and safeguards,

www.RLResources.com
49
1 protocols, best practices, none of that. It was pushed
2 through. We were shamed here. The republican party,
3 democrats, members of the voting community, we tried to
4 ask questions. We were not entertained to any
5 questions. We weren't allowed to ask any questions.
6 We were given the three minutes.
7 This is an unprecedented travesty this election.
8 And this was a part where there was definitely election
9 disenfranchisement, suppression of the voters, people
10 left. And as far as being asked, there was no
11 republican representation and the superintendent of
12 elections office.
13 I have to say with County Executive Hughes, there
14 is a system. It's a tri-party system here, and most
15 people don't understand it. And there is a Chair for
16 the dem's and the republicans.
17 I have been trying for five years. The first
18 three trying to replace a holdover, a holdover
19 Superintendent of Elections, who when they're so
20 entrenched and in the pockets of the parties that
21 compromised employees, which I brought to the
22 attention. Mr. Giles, before he became an employee of
23 Dominion, worked for the Director of the State of New
24 Jersey. And I've also brought these things to the
25 attention of also the DAG George Cohen. When I brought

www.RLResources.com
50
1 election interference issues in they've been dismissed.
2 This is why there is no election interference -- I
3 know. I'm coming close. My time is for three minutes.
4 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Yes. I'm sorry.
5 MS. RICHFORD: There's so much more to talk to
6 about here. But I'll tell you right now, there is no
7 republican representation for this election. It has
8 been met with senatorial courtesy blockage, and we have
9 nobody in there with eyes --
10 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: I'm sorry. We do have a lot
11 of people --
12 MS. RICHFORD: But there's no republicans there
13 pursuant to the statute. They're required. That
14 didn't happen, and there hasn't been anybody there for
15 a year. And I think the public should need to know
16 that.
18 COMMISSIONER WALTER: Just for the public record,
19 I believe the person that was in holdover in the
20 superintendent election was appointed as a republican
21 and in that holdover position as a republican.
22 And I believe in the superintendent's office, we
23 had a resignation that occurred right before the
24 election, and that person was the Republican Chair of
25 the Board of Elections who resigned. I don't want to

www.RLResources.com
51
1 get into a back and forth --
2 MS. RICHFORD: Okay. Well, there's more to it
3 than that. There's much, much more to it than that.
4 And I just wanted to make that clear.
5 MR. HERBERT: Thank you. Thank you.
6 MS. RICHFORD: But that has been blocked for
7 five years. That republican shouldn't have been in
8 there.
9 MR. HERBERT: Ms. Richford, we have to allow other
10 people to speak.
11 MS. RICHFORD: And this administration knows that.
12 MR. HERBERT: Thank you, Ms. Richford.
13 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Don Staley?
14 MR. STALEY: Don Staley, S-T-A-L-E-Y. Good
15 evening. Thank you for the opportunity --
16 MR. HERBERT: Sir, your address, please?
17 MR. STALEY: Oh, I'm sorry. It's 7 Valley View
18 Court. That's in Hamilton.
20 MR. STALEY: I just have a couple of questions,
21 and then I just have a comment.
22 So, just for the record, I'd like to find out how
23 can one find out or review who voted in the mail-in
24 ballots by municipality?
25 Number 2, the mail-in ballots were received by

www.RLResources.com
52
1 whom? Whom actually received those ballots?
2 Number 3, who counted those ballots once they were
3 received?
4 Number 4, were both parties republican and
5 democrats, were they present when those ballots were
6 received and counted?
7 So I don't expect an answer now. I understand
8 that those will be forthcoming.
9 But I just have a comment, just listening to
10 Dominion and Royal Printing. I spent over 30 years in
11 technology sales. And I know that typically that every
12 contract that we had, there was always a provision
13 called a service level agreement, an SLA.
14 Because, typically, whenever something happens and
15 it goes sideways, it doesn't work the way both parties
16 expected, there's penalties that are paid.
17 And we never, in all the time that I've done this,
18 we've never had a situation where both parties can say
19 it wasn't our fault. We always looked at the
20 situation. We did an analysis of the situation and
21 came to an agreement that someone had to pay for the
22 errors that were committed, whether it was technology,
23 whether it was something that wasn't done properly.
24 And I'm just saying that I'm hoping that the
25 agreement that our county had entered into with

www.RLResources.com
53
1 Dominion and Royal Printing, there was a SLA
2 incorporated into that contract. Because, quite
3 honestly, as a taxpayer, I'm hoping that there's
4 something that we can go back and not only ensure that
5 this doesn't happen again, but to make sure that to
6 really help to bring back the voter confidence that we
7 can say, you know, we're going to hold someone
8 accountable. You know, we used to call it "one throat
9 to choke," because we want to make sure that somebody
10 pays for what happened. Because like I said, in any
11 situation there's never been a time where people can
12 be, you know, held unaccountable.
13 So I just wanted to bring that forward and offer
14 my two cents based on my experience. And, again, I
15 want to thank you for the time to pose these questions
16 and give these comments.
17 Thank you very much.
18 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Thank you. Mark Byrne?
19 MR. BYRNE: Thank you all.
20 My name is Mark Byrne, B-Y-R-N-E. I reside at 251
21 Extonville Road, Allentown, New Jersey. I'm a Hamilton
22 resident.
23 And I want to thank everybody for being here
24 tonight. Assemblyman DeAngelo, who's a friend of mine,
25 I want to thank him for being here. I echo his words.

www.RLResources.com
54
1 And so many people in this room, I echo exactly what
2 their concerns are and frustrations.
3 And as Don Staley said, you know, I'm in business
4 for myself. And if I made a mistake on this magnitude,
5 heads would roll. There would be penalties to be paid.
6 And if the State is not going to hold Dominion
7 accountable -- and what I'm hearing at the ground level
8 with people and what's going on in the country with
9 Dominion, Dominion has to go.
10 Their voting system stinks. We should go back to
11 the old lever style. You had the results right then
12 and there that night. There was no chain of custody to
13 worry about because everything was on the back of the
14 machine. When I was a kid, the local policeman took --
15 MR. HERBERT: Sir, you cannot speak out. Please.
16 Thank you.
17 MR. BYRNE: So, in any event, the local policeman,
18 I grew up in Hightstown, followed the ballots, you
19 know, there was a chain of custody. And I'd have to
20 say exactly what this young lady said, the chain of
21 custody was broken in so many ways. Whether it was
22 negligence, you know, neglect, corruption, I don't
23 know.
24 But it really begs the question and people lose
25 confidence. And I can tell you, people down on the

www.RLResources.com
55
1 streets, people are not voting because they don't think
2 their vote counts. And you want to disenfranchise
3 voters, continue to let this happen and people will be
4 disenfranchised because we're losing faith.
5 One thing about Dominion that I think should be
6 brought up, and you know, there's a movie made about
7 Big Pharma. It was Perdue Pharmaceutical. And they
8 had people in the FDA that were in cahoots with them
9 and people from the FDA went into Big Pharma. There
10 was a movie made of it, the opioid crisis. And they
11 harmed a lot of people because of it because they were
12 doing things illegally. That, in my opinion, is what
13 could happen with Dominion. They got to go. Dominion
14 is -- the gentleman that was a representative from
15 Dominion, he was a local politician. That's a conflict
16 of interest. Big conflict. Dominion has to go. I'm
17 telling you what people feel on the streets. It's sad.
18 And I trust people like Wayne DeAngelo in the back
19 because I know him. And I trust most of the people in
20 this room are probably decent people. But what people
21 perceive is what they -- that is their truth. And what
22 people are perceiving is there's corruption. That's
23 all. Thank you.
24 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Darius Mayfield?
25 MR. MAYFIELD: Hello. I'm Darius Mayfield. I was

www.RLResources.com
56
1 actually the republican candidate for congress here in
2 the 12th Congressional District.
3 MR. HERBERT: Sir, your address?
4 MR. MAYFIELD: Darius Mayfield, 28 River Road in
5 East Brunswick, New Jersey.
6 I have a question over here. How many people feel
7 more confused --
8 MR. HERBERT: Sir --
9 MR. MAYFIELD: -- about who's responsible for --
11 MR. MAYFIELD: -- this than they did when --
13 MR. MAYFIELD: -- they first got here?
14 MR. HERBERT: Mr. Mayfield? Mr. Mayfield?
15 MR. MAYFIELD: Does anybody feel more confused?
16 MR. HERBERT: Mr. Mayfield, address the County
17 Commissioners.
18 MR. MAYFIELD: Well, so do I, all right. So do I
19 because this was an embarrassment of epic proportions
20 in this district. And everybody's already said this
21 was a national embarrassment, not just a countywide
22 embarrassment here in Mercer County.
23 We still don't know who's responsible. Who's been
24 fired? Who's going to be held accountable for what
25 happened? As most people have said, if this happened

www.RLResources.com
57
1 in my line of work or your line of work, heads would
2 roll. People would be responsible. So who is
3 responsible here?
4 You know, Mr. Hughes said something, and this was,
5 this was a form of voter suppression. Especially in
6 places like Trenton, New Jersey where me, personally,
7 did a lot of work hear in Trenton, New Jersey,
8 specifically in Trenton, New Jersey.
9 And this wasn't just about the machines. We
10 witnessed people campaigning within a 100 feet of
11 voting stations. We witnessed people working the
12 elections taking ballots out of machines and putting
13 them back in. As one person said, we have pictures of
14 the electors at these polling stations taking them out
15 and putting them on the floor. They are there. There
16 is real proof of this.
17 Over the last two years I've heard people, like
18 people on this Board call people like myself and other
19 constituents domestic terrorists, conspiracy theorists.
20 And then all along for it to come back to this county
21 here where I'm running for this to happen on the day of
22 the election where every single voting machine in the
23 entire county, the only county in the United States of
24 America that this happened. And I know you got the
25 smirks on your face, whatever it is, I'm used to it.

www.RLResources.com
58
1 But, again, whose head is going to roll? Whose fault
2 is this? Where I come from in the automotive industry,
3 in politics, and these things happen, mistakes happen,
4 somebody is held responsible. What we hear right now
5 is it's not Dominion's fault, right. It's not the
6 county's fault. It's nobody's fault. So whose fault
7 is it that every single machine -- not one, not two.
8 It wasn't just that. We had the change of custody
9 broken at multiple places. In Robbinsville. In
10 Princeton. We know these things. We had people
11 campaigning outside of voting stations. We had people
12 taking ballots out. I had to personally go to the
13 county clerk's office on the day of election and let
14 them know that in the Donnelly Homes in Trenton, New
15 Jersey they weren't allowing people in and sending them
16 away. Is that legal? Because they didn't think so.
17 They had to make a phone call up there to make sure
18 they reopened the doors.
19 I went into the project in Trenton, New Jersey. I
20 went into Plainfield, New Jersey and talked to these
21 people. And we noticed where we did a lot of these
22 things the voter turnout was much lower. Here in
23 Mercer County we're looking at a 17 percent voter
24 turnout right now. So this did more than just destroy
25 confidence. It completely destroyed our election.

www.RLResources.com
59
1 This is embarrassing. Embarrassing. And an
2 embarrassment to epic proportions. And I really
3 implore you all to take this seriously because as you
4 can see from the crowd here people are not happy. I
5 don't care if they're republicans. I don't care if
6 they're democrats or independent. That's the message
7 right now. It doesn't matter what party you come from,
8 there was clear negligence here. There was clear
9 incompetence here from the people that sit on this
10 board from the people who run our elections here in
11 Mercer County, and you need to get it together because
12 if you don't, we will for you.
14 COMMISSIONER WALTER: Yes. As we said, we will
15 address the issues at a later date.
16 But there was a comment made that a member of this
17 board called you, sir, a domestic terrorist. I don't
18 --
19 MR. MAYFIELD: That's not what I said at all.
20 That was not actually what I said at all. And that
21 stuff is not what I said at all. And if you were
22 listening, you would have heard what I said and that
23 wasn't it.
24 MR. HERBERT: It's right on my notes right here.
25 MR. MAYFIELD: I said boards like yours have

www.RLResources.com
60
1 called people domestic terrorists and called them
2 conspiracy -- boards like yours. Not --
3 COMMISSIONER WALTER: Can you read back the line;
4 is it possible?
5 THE COURT REPORTER: It's going to take some time.
6 COMMISSIONER WALTER: Oh, okay. No problem then.
7 MR. MAYFIELD: Please do.
8 COMMISSIONER WALTER: We will check the script.
9 MR. MAYFIELD: How convenient is that? How
10 convenient is that?
11 COMMISSIONER WALTER: I'm not going to get into
12 that. But I'm hoping --
13 MR. MAYFIELD: How convenient. Like every time,
14 how convenient.
15 MR. HERBERT: Sir? Sir, let her speak.
16 COMMISSIONER WALTER: In this room --
17 MR. MAYFIELD: Not if she's going to lie.
18 MR. HERBERT: Sir?
20 MR. HERBERT: Sir, do you need to be escorted out?
22 MR. HERBERT: Sir, stop --
23 COMMISSIONER WALTER: In this room --
24 MR. MAYFIELD: We have --
25 MR. HERBERT: Stop.

www.RLResources.com
61
1 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: You tell him to stop.
2 MR. MAYFIELD: Exactly.
3 COMMISSIONER WALTER: In this room and this board
4 at this table, we spend a lot of time trying to be
5 civil in our discourse. We try not to call names.
6 MR. MAYFIELD: I didn't.
7 COMMISSIONER WALTER: We try not to say things
8 that in any way degrade the public.
9 MR. MAYFIELD: I didn't.
10 COMMISSIONER WALTER: And we hold open meetings
11 like this one even when the issues are not necessarily
12 those of this board. So I just would like to keep us
13 functioning at a civil level.
14 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: He was civil.
15 MR. MAYFIELD: I thought I was pretty civil.
16 COMMISSIONER WALTER: And not have it said that
17 "boards like this," implying this board, would use that
18 kind of name-calling. We simply don't do it here.
19 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Okay. Yamira Sin. I'm not
20 sure if I'm saying it right. I apologize.
21 MS. SIN: Good evening. Yamira, Y-A-M-I-R-A, Sin,
22 S-I-N. Actually, I'm a New York resident. 215 West
23 131st Street, New York, New York 10030.
24 So basically I just have a statement. Obviously I
25 can't vote out here in New Jersey. But as a die hard

www.RLResources.com
62
1 New Yorker, I ran Darius Mayfield's campaign,
2 regardless of party affiliation because I believed in
3 him and I followed him as we travelled, today all the
4 way from New York to be heard.
5 The only comment I have to say is I thought New
6 York had it bad. Jersey, I feel bad for you. And I
7 think thinking ahead of the next generation to come,
8 what are you going to do differently for the next
9 generations to come?
10 You know, I heard all the stories about mistakes
11 with technology, but people are the ones who truly vote
12 and their vote counts. So I hope, I hope that in the
13 next few elections, New Jersey gets it right.
14 And as for Darius Mayfield, he is the most hard
15 working man that I know. I've known him for ten years
16 outside of politics. This is my first time really
17 following a political campaign. And integrity is
18 everything. You heard it here tonight, and I hope that
19 you will take action, and in the next election let's
20 get it right. So thank you for hearing me.
21 CHAIRWOMEN MELKER: Thank you.
22 Mike Cipriano?
23 MR. CIPRIANO: Good evening, Commissioners. My
24 name is Mike Cipriano. That's C-I-P-R-I-A-N-O. 18
25 Hilltop Place, Robbinsville. I am the current Council

www.RLResources.com
63
1 President in Robbinsville, and I'm here to make a
2 statement tonight on behalf of myself, Mayor David
3 Fried, and the rest of the Robbinsville Council.
4 It goes without saying that Election Day the past
5 two years have not gone as planned for any of us. This
6 is not the time in our country where we can afford any
7 mishaps when it comes to the integrity of elections.
8 And we've now endured these mishaps in back-to-back
9 election cycles.
10 The reports we've received from poll workers have
11 not been encouraging, and serious questions about the
12 chain of custody of ballots have been raised in those
13 in the field that evening.
14 We have received unconfirmed reports about bags
15 containing ballots arrived open, thus rising at least
16 possibility of tampering. The whole idea of sealing
17 the bags before they leave the polling station is so
18 this does not happen.
19 Moreover, ballots being left inside the machines
20 is utterly unacceptable and shows a complete lack of
21 proper training.
22 We also find it highly embarrassing that because
23 of the large size of the ballots, almost everyone in
24 the room paying any sort of attention can see a
25 person's ballot choices as they walk over to put those

www.RLResources.com
64
1 ballots into the scanner. The whole concept of voting
2 is that it's supposed to be private and secure. These
3 ballots are so large in size, even the election
4 challengers sitting in the room can possibly see who
5 someone voted for. For us, that is unacceptable.
6 The election process in Mercer County needs to be
7 open, transparent, and public training of poll workers
8 needs to be a priority. We certainly are not
9 suggesting that there were anything nefarious at work
10 here. But this is the second year in a row that Mercer
11 County has taken a hit on a day we can all agree is the
12 Superbowl of events on a government calendar.
13 As for communications, they were poor to say the
14 least. The most honest communication we received was
15 the one our clerk, Michelle Siegfried, received at
16 approximately 4:30 p.m. from the County Clerk on
17 Wednesday, November 9th, informing her via telephone
18 that our District 5 ballots had gone missing.
19 Again, this goes back to deep concerns over chain
20 of custody. The ballots were obviously misplaced, but
21 not one person from the Board of Elections ever came
22 back and explained to us what happened, when or why.
23 Even worse, in none of the hardworking and
24 diligent employees in our clerk's office or any of our
25 elected officials received a call that our ballots were

www.RLResources.com
65
1 located. Once we found out the ballots were misplaced,
2 we almost immediately informed our residents, just as
3 we did an hour after polls opened telling them very
4 early the process that there was a problem with either
5 the ballots or the machines.
6 Although we did not hear from the Board of
7 Elections, we did receive calls from other mayors
8 throughout the county that our ballots were found. How
9 could a handful of mayors find the time to call us, but
10 no one from the Board of Elections thought to extend
11 the basic courtesy.
12 We can even argue that it was a requirement
13 considering the circumstances. If you -- okay. Excuse
14 me. I don't want to take any more of your time. I got
15 a little bit more to go, but thank you for letting me
16 speak tonight. And, again, I think chain of custody is
17 definitely one of the major issues. Thank you. Have a
18 great evening.
20 Michael Shaffer, S-H-A-F-F-E-R? Are there people
21 that are downstairs that are coming up?
22 MR. HERBERT: We can hold that spot open and then
23 go to the next person. So we'll hold that open.
24 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Okay. Jeremy Whaley?
25 MR. WHALEY: All right. Hello everyone. Last

1 name, W-H-A-L-E-Y. 54 Western Avenue, Apartment 5,
2 Ewing, New Jersey. I am the Ewing Township Republican
3 Committee Chairman. And I'm just here to share what
4 many of our people felt there in Ewing.
5 We were gravely disappointed with the events of
6 this past election. It was an unmitigated disaster to
7 say the least. There were ballots missing for days
8 unaccounted for. Machines with ballots left in them,
9 and much more confusion over what was happening. And
10 some of these questions answered just today, weeks
11 after the election.
12 Every time a question was answered, more questions
13 arose. What happened this past election, as many
14 people have here said, has broken the confidence of all
15 of the voters and has brought many more concerns
16 forward.
17 This isn't a matter of democrats versus
18 republicans, but a matter of ensuring the backbone of
19 our society, of American society, remains intact.
20 Many people were frustrated and felt that their
21 votes didn't count. People were worried that their
22 ballots were lost or won't be counted. And they've
23 seen pictures or witnessed firsthand, ballots on the
24 floor. The poll workers organizing the ballots, okay,
25 well, you're District A, you're District B, separating

www.RLResources.com
67
1 them just to find out that they don't need to separate
2 them. Again, unmitigated disaster.
3 Confidence was damaged. And we have to ask
4 ourselves, are elections truly safe and secure, or do
5 we have to worry about integrity every time we go to
6 vote? And the answer is clear, election integrity
7 matters. And we must demand more of our election
8 officials so this doesn't happen again. There needs to
9 be a restoration of trust in the process.
10 And, unfortunately, as many have said, again,
11 there isn't a clear, oh, well, this right here, that
12 right there. It's still not clear, not crystal clear.
13 And we have many, many different aspects to our
14 election that control it.
15 The Board of Elections, people were complaining,
16 challengers, that the board workers weren't trained
17 well enough to know what to do with emergency ballots.
18 I walk in around 6:30 in the morning. I have a
19 regular ballot, but I have to fold it up and put it in
20 a provisional ballot envelope. And that started the
21 confusion at the very beginning of the day.
22 The Board of Elections run and lead by political
23 appointees, which the blame was squarely placed on
24 Democrat and Republican County Chairs if these people
25 weren't doing their jobs.

www.RLResources.com
68
1 The ballots were not printed right, which is under
2 the county clerk's purview, and outsourced to Royal
3 Printing, who spoke earlier today. The use of
4 Dominion, which was a decision made by the County
5 Commissioners. So it's not easy to point just one
6 finger, you, you or you. It's a whole combination of
7 different factors. And we really do need to step back,
8 reassess what we're doing, continue to have this open
9 dialogue and transparency. Reassess what we're doing.
10 And as I heard some people say, we might even need to,
11 in order to restore the trust, redo the election.
12 Thank you. Something to think about.
13 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Eva Kaplan?
14 MR. HERBERT: And if Michael Shaffer does come in
15 the room, just let us know.
16 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Okay. Is Joy Tozzi here? I
17 think she might have left, right?
18 Cherie Garrette?
19 MS. GARRETTE: Hi, Cherie Garrette, City of
20 Trenton.
21 MR. HERBERT: Ms. Garrette, if you can just spell
22 your last name and give us your address?
23 MS. GARRETTE: G-A-R-R-E-T-T-E, 1 Bruce Park
24 Drive, Trenton, New Jersey.
25 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Hold the time.

www.RLResources.com
69
2 MS. GARRETTE: This forum here probably should
3 have happened some couple of weeks ago. I'm glad it is
4 happening. But to restore confidence, I think in our
5 election process here in Mercer County, I think it
6 absolutely has to have a redo.
7 I feel that the reason for having this right now
8 is to say that we're doing something, we're
9 communicating with the Mercer County community and
10 residents and registered voters. But this is -- the
11 only way you're going to restore it is do a redo.
12 And I concur with most of all the other speakers
13 that came up here. I did look into this a little bit,
14 and from my understanding, in order to have a redo,
15 even though some of the bags weren't sealed and
16 secured, from my understanding, that's not enough to do
17 a redo. So I guess that's one of the reasons why, you
18 know, you're hearing this.
19 But one thing I can say, the reason it calls for a
20 redo is that we don't even know if the super scanner as
21 you spoke of earlier actually credited or applied the
22 correct votes to the right candidates. That is really
23 the main thing that's in question which is why I'm
24 saying a redo.
25 A number of people had -- so many people that

www.RLResources.com
70
1 endorsed them and backed them and wind up -- and I know
2 this is not a reason to have a redo, but they had more
3 support, voter support at the polls behind them, and
4 they didn't receive that support. And I say that for
5 myself as well.
6 So I think there has to be a redo because of that
7 fact. Because of the dysfunction with the scanners not
8 reading, the whole thing with the mistake with the
9 printer, and with Mercer County, that's on you,
10 December 13th, instead of just having a runoff, just
11 have a whole new election. That way you can restore
12 the confidence and do the right thing, if you want to
13 do the right thing.
14 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Jeff Hewitson?
15 MR. HEWITSON: Good evening, Chair, Vice Chair,
16 Commissioners. Jeff Hewitson, H-E-W-I-T-S-O-N.
17 MR. HERBERT: And, Jeff, if you could just give
18 your address?
19 MR. HEWITSON: 33 Sedona, S-E-D-O-N-A, Boulevard,
20 Hamilton, New Jersey 08691.
21 A lot of good comments tonight, a lot of good
22 speakers. I can assure you I'm not one of them.
23 MR. HERBERT: You're a really good basketball ref,
24 I know that.
25 MR. HEWITSON: But I want to make three points,

www.RLResources.com
71
1 and one is a question. And I don't know if I'm going
2 to get an answer or not. But is it legal to harvest
3 ballots in New Jersey? That's question number one.
4 Number two, as far as whose responsibility it is,
5 the Mercer County Clerk, Royal Printing, or Dominion?
6 I think the County Clerk clearly did her job. I think
7 the printing -- it's my opinion, I think the printing I
8 think did their job.
9 The problem is with Dominion, and everyone that
10 runs a business or is working for anybody knows, you
11 got to have QC. You got to have quality control.
12 Where the quality control went wrong is the
13 gentleman for Dominion who got word of the change, what
14 he should of done was he should have e-mailed everybody
15 that was involved in that process and asked for them to
16 confirm that they got the e-mail. And if he or she, or
17 whoever is in charge, done that, we probably wouldn't
18 have this problem.
19 And the other thing I wanted to say, and it's been
20 said so much so, ad nauseam, but you know, the chain of
21 custody was nonexistent. I've seen so many things that
22 went wrong in person. I was there with Pat Johnson. I
23 don't want to go through everything else because it's
24 been said already.
25 But I hope we get it right. I'm glad Assemblyman

www.RLResources.com
72
1 DeAngelo came. I was really pleased what he said. I
2 hope you people, in fact, I know you people will work
3 with him to get it right. I'm looking forward to the
4 next election. But we still need to hold somebody
5 accountable for all the mistakes that happened in this
6 election. Thank you.
7 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Taiwanda Terry-Wilson?
8 MS. TERRY-WILSON: Good evening, everyone. My
9 name is Taiwanda Terry-Wilson, and I am here from the
10 great City of Trenton, New Jersey. I have three
11 questions --
12 MR. HERBERT: Ma'am, if you can just spell your
13 last name for the young lady here?
14 MS. TERRY-WILSON: I can. It's
15 T-E-R-R-Y-hyphenated-W-I-L-S-O-N.
16 MR. HERBERT: Thank you. And your address?
17 MS. TERRY-WILSON: 817 Revere Avenue, and that's
18 in Trenton, New Jersey.
20 MS. TERRY-WILSON: So I have three questions.
21 The first question is, if the span was very narrow
22 between production and Election Day, why was the change
23 necessary? Was it a necessary change, or was it a
24 preference?
25 The second question is, since this was a "little

www.RLResources.com
73
1 human mistake" that has a major impact on the lives of
2 many people, especially throughout the great City of
3 Trenton, what is our solution?
4 So when we start to talk about what we're going to
5 do in the future, what happens to this election that
6 just currently took place?
7 And I am not speaking as a candidate on the ballot
8 who lost. Because I lost an election before. I won my
9 general seat. I won my primary seat. I won my
10 committee seat. And I lost the running by five votes,
11 so I'm not a sorry sport.
12 I am here to speak about the things that I saw on
13 Election Day. I, myself and my family went to go and
14 vote. When I walked into my polling place at Trenton
15 Central High School, there was only one person working
16 for my district. She advised me that she did not have
17 the machine, which was the keypad, to look and pull up
18 people's addresses. I didn't feel comfortable voting,
19 so I went live and I left.
20 Because I don't like shirking my responsibilities,
21 I didn't go far from the parking lot, but I came back
22 in within the next half an hour, 45 minutes to see if
23 there had been an update.
24 There was a person from the Board of Elections, I
25 think he was a master board worker. And he was kind

www.RLResources.com
74
1 enough to take my calls, and take my concerns, and he
2 did some background information and some searching.
3 And once he got his answer, he went to the poll worker,
4 he called me back over, and he pulled us over to the
5 machines that had been sitting there all morning.
6 The girl's laptop was inside the machine. It was
7 inside the bag. So what I'm saying is, have people
8 been trained? I know that we offer training. But are
9 they being properly trained? And then what is the
10 character, disposition and demeanor of the people who
11 are working there?
12 My son is disabled. He doesn't have thumbs. So
13 there was a poll worker there who was disabled. And
14 she almost got into a fisticuffs with my son-in-law and
15 my daughter. And the only thing they did was stand in
16 line to ask, you know, they were getting ready to vote,
17 and she asked for their name. But it wasn't how she
18 asked -- it wasn't what she asked, but it was how she
19 asked, and she became combative. We almost had a fight
20 there. We didn't have calm heads and people who were
21 born with morals and values that know how to
22 deescalate. They would have turned away and not voted.
23 That was two people. I was the third person who almost
24 didn't vote.
25 And then I got word that at the end of the night

www.RLResources.com
75
1 there were people who were taking bags back that were
2 not properly locked. You know, we just have too many
3 inconsistencies.
4 So I understand that we are looking to see what we
5 can do in the future, but we need to find out and look
6 into this.
7 And, lastly, Trenton hasn't been getting a lot of
8 coverage. I hear a lot about -- no disrespect --
9 Princeton and Lawrenceville. But there were major
10 issues inside of Trenton. And what I would like to
11 know, as a at-large council person, I want to know if
12 the state law is going to prevail and we have, since no
13 one got 50 percent that won the vote, are we going to
14 go with the state law, or are we going to go with the
15 Faulkner Act that says you take the top three?
16 And, lastly, from everything I've worked in equal
17 employment, state law always supercedes any policy
18 because they must conform.
19 Thank you.
20 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Skye Gilmartin?
21 MR. HERBERT: Folks, if I can ask everyone a
22 favor, if you can allow the person to speak, hold your
23 clapping to the end if you want to clap for them. If
24 you do it during it, it makes the speech longer, and
25 she can't take down the words that they're saying.

www.RLResources.com
76
1 Thank you very much.
2 MS. GILMARTIN: Skye Gilmartin, S-K-Y-E
3 G-I-L-M-A-R-T-I-N. I live at 38 Powell Court in
4 Heightstown.
5 I want to follow-up on a lot of what the last
6 speaker said. My biggest concern that day was the poll
7 workers. They -- everybody here is having a bad time
8 with this election, but those people had the worst day
9 of their lives. And we have a shortage of poll
10 workers. We have a hard time getting people to do that
11 job. And they had an awful morning. And then at the
12 end of the day, they had an awful day.
13 I was at quite a few sites. From one site to the
14 next, nobody knew what they were doing at the end of
15 the day. They were all following different procedures.
16 And that goes to the whole chain of custody issue.
17 People had a hard time getting ahold of their clerks.
18 They had a hard time getting ahold of their county.
19 And people just did not know what they were doing from
20 one end of the day to the next.
21 So I would like to know what their minimal
22 training actually is, and if something is going to be
23 remedied in the future to better prepare people to deal
24 with the major malfunction like we had today.
25 That's all.

2 Andrew Curcio?
3 MR. CURCIO: Hello. I'm Andrew Curcio. I reside
4 at 3215 Nottingham Way, Hamilton, New Jersey 08619. I
5 just have --
6 MR. HERBERT: Sir, if you could just spell your
7 last name?
8 MR. CURCIO: Curcio, C-U-R-C-I-O.
10 MR. CURCIO: So it's not really a question -- but
11 it is for Dominion, or who was involved with this. But
12 my biggest question is why weren't the machines checked
13 the night before? Where I come from, where I work, you
14 know, when you do something, something new, you
15 definitely check the machines the night before to see
16 if they're all working.
17 On other notes, when I know I went to vote I felt
18 like anyone could persuade me. Because where it was,
19 you were sitting out there, out in the open. Anyone
20 could come up to you and say, Hey, you know what, I
21 don't like that guy. I like this guy. I felt like we
22 had no privacy.
23 I don't know why this was changed at all. I would
24 like to know why the system was changed in any kind of
25 sense. I just felt like anybody could tamper with this

www.RLResources.com
78
1 system because you're out there, out in the open. And
2 you got your republicans out there, you got your
3 democrats out there. Anything could happen.
4 I also feel like we should go back showing our
5 licenses. Because when you show your license, you know
6 who that individual is. If you don't show it, you
7 know, I can go as John Smith or Dave Craig, and they
8 would never know it. Even though I'm registered, but
9 you never know. You can have somebody else going for
10 you.
11 Also, with the things being voted, where we were
12 they weren't scanning, you know, what's the percentage
13 of human error? You know, how do I know that that
14 person who was counting the votes was a democrat or
15 republican? You know, I can say, oh, yeah -- an
16 example, I don't like Trump, I'm going to throw him
17 over here. I like this person, I'm going to put him
18 here. Where was the modernization of it?
19 Also, the votes that were being counted, Dominion
20 was in the room in front of the scanners with a
21 computer on the table in front of him. Why was that?
22 I also wanted to include that I have two people
23 here they will confess under oath that the bags were
24 open. They actually took the bags themselves to the
25 Commissioner at the drop-offs.

www.RLResources.com
79
1 Besides that, thank you for your time. But we
2 really should check those machines prior to Election
3 Day. I think that's the big thing. Because if you
4 don't, this will happen again. Thank you.
5 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Barbara Holstein?
6 MS. HOLSTEIN: Hi, how are you? My name is
7 Barbara Holstein, and I'm from Montague, New Jersey.
8 MR. HERBERT: Can we have your address?
9 MS. HOLSTEIN: 127B Hemlock Hill. And I'm here
10 tonight because of my friend Darius. I've known Darius
11 for two and-a-half years now.
12 He started with a podcast called Not White, Not
13 Black Americans. He's the hardest working person on an
14 election trail, and I've been following elections now
15 for two and-a-half years.
16 What happened to him and anybody else who was on
17 that ballot on your Election Day is just horrific. I
18 watched his face. I listened to his voice. All the
19 months, two years of work going through these streets
20 in Trenton, going where no other candidate will go
21 that's got the republican next to their name because
22 it's the democrat area. Darius went there. And not
23 only did he go there, but he made your community
24 better. He organized clean communities. He went in
25 and pulled people together. Brought people off of

www.RLResources.com
80
1 porches. He did it here in Trenton. He did it in
2 Philadelphia. And he did it in Paterson. That's where
3 I met him, was in Paterson.
4 I'm disgusted in what happened in this county.
5 It's a little bit of, How could you? And I don't want
6 to go off because I listened to Dominion. So what
7 happened here -- people are asking, how did this
8 happen? Because someone decided they didn't want to
9 spend money. They didn't want to spend the money so
10 they reordered the provisional ballot. That's what
11 happened. And then a chain of communication was
12 broken, just like the chain of custody has been broken.
13 People who called for redos on this, they demand a
14 redo. I would do nothing less than a redo. That's
15 what your due diligence is. I don't know how a redo is
16 done. But if it has anything to do with the people
17 sitting up in front of me, it's your due diligence to
18 do a redo for the people of Mercer County.
19 Election days, Dominion -- I want to go back to
20 the long history. Sorry. I'm not comfortable with the
21 fact that this guy is a politician and he's selling you
22 guys a politician machine. Okay.
23 The name has gotten a bad connotation, but
24 literally, he validated it sitting here. And, yeah, I
25 couldn't keep my mouth quite. I was like, you got to

www.RLResources.com
81
1 be kidding me. I know why you're running this machine
2 because you've been doing this for 11 years in all of
3 these places.
4 Then you want to talk about -- I've heard people
5 talking about what's going on in the poll worker
6 station. I come from a county where even in my own
7 small rural county people didn't know what to do.
8 I can't imagine being in an area where they told
9 you your ballot, your vote -- the ballot that you just
10 got isn't working, and you're not allowed to use it.
11 And you have to use a sharpie. And you have to do
12 this. All the things -- there's no consistency.
13 Again, the redo is what you have to do. The redo.
14 I have so many other notes here, obviously not
15 watching the clock. This man deserves a redo. And
16 every voter in this county deserves a redo.
17 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Jennifer DiDonato?
18 MS. DiDONATO: Hello there. My name is Jennifer
19 DiDonato, D-I-D-O-N-A-T-O.
20 MR. HERBERT: You're doing great. Your address?
21 MS. DiDONATO: 20 Old Washington Crossing Road.
23 MS. DiDONATO: So I'm a candidate and a
24 challenger. I was at early voting multiple days. I
25 was at multiple polling locations throughout the day of

www.RLResources.com
82
1 the election.
2 I was down at the Board of Election's office
3 nearly everyday following. I also went to the
4 warehouse when the ballot bins came in. So I've been
5 observing the whole process.
6 As a candidate, I want to know what's going on.
7 Luckily for me, I got this crazy blowout of an election
8 to learn everything. But, you know, this is why I'm
9 here just because I really want to learn and I want to
10 understand things. I got some questions and comments.
11 I would like to verify this, has the county clerk
12 filed a lawsuit against Dominion for this election?
13 Provisional ballots, this is number two,
14 provisional ballots were used in the morning. They
15 caused a shortage of provisional ballots in the
16 afternoon. Voters were disenfranchised. They were
17 told to come back. They said, We're sorry. We don't
18 have these provisional ballots. You can come back, or
19 you can wait here until supplies come in. So several
20 voters left the building.
21 Also, on what Pat was talking about, we overheard
22 an interview on the day after the Election Day where a
23 board worker, a board employee said that there -- the
24 voting scanners, some of them could have been turned on
25 throughout the day. And she made the call to make sure

www.RLResources.com
83
1 that they were all turned off.
2 But, to me that sounds like, it leads me to
3 believe that it's not a problem with the timing marks
4 on the ballots. But it's just a question. I don't
5 really understand how that adds up.
6 How can you ensure that every vote was secure when
7 many of the seals and locks were broken? That's
8 something I also observed, as many people have said.
9 Ballot bags when they came in were not locked. In
10 addition, many of the locks and seals were broken on
11 the ballot bins as they came into the warehouse. And
12 there were several bins that were opened with ballots
13 just falling out, not just in Robbinsville and
14 Hopewell. Ewing, Hopewell, Robbinsville, Princeton,
15 several of the areas.
16 So, yes, and to the point of Robbinsville, we were
17 at a meeting, 4 o'clock on the day after the election
18 and we were told by these workers that every single
19 ballot bag was received. And they knew that because
20 the numbers were counted, and they had all of these
21 numbers accounted for. And less than 30 minutes later,
22 there was an e-mail sent to Mayor Dave Fried saying
23 that they lost a bag. So something fell apart there.
24 I don't know. I don't know. Just wanted to bring that
25 up. And I think that's about it. Thank you so much

www.RLResources.com
84
1 for your time. Have a good day.
3 Joe Marchica?
4 MR. MARCHICA: Joe Marchica, 10 Sheffield Road,
5 Hamilton, New Jersey 08619.
6 MR. HERBERT: Can you just spell your last name
7 for the record?
8 MR. MARCHICA: Sure. M-A-R-C-H-I-C-A.
10 MR. MARCHICA: I'll try to not go into any
11 over-the-top hysterics or anything. I think we got a
12 lot of those. And some cases warranted because this is
13 kind of a crazy election.
14 But the first thing I wanted to highlight, I can't
15 comment about the issue anywhere else, but it doesn't
16 seem like there was any malicious intent involved in
17 any of this. It seems like a problematic, serious, but
18 honest mistake. It does happen.
19 But I've noticed a bit of a pattern and behavior
20 from the Board of Elections at times throughout both
21 this past election and the one back in June at the
22 primary election where I ran for County Committee
23 myself.
24 And I want to specifically highlight that some of
25 the issues that I've run into had to do with board

www.RLResources.com
85
1 workers. There not being enough board workers. There
2 not being enough poll workers. There not being enough
3 compensation for those in order to hire sufficient of
4 those workers and retain them.
5 I've heard multiple stories of folks working for
6 the Board of Election, being forced to work overtime
7 and not being compensated for working overtime. Or
8 there not being enough workers present because they
9 have trouble retaining people because they don't pay
10 sufficiently to encourage them to stay or to encourage
11 hiring more workers. And I'd be happy to put folks on
12 this board to talk with someone who is a former board
13 worker who I've spoken to about this. And she said
14 she'd be happy to talk to you about this. That's the
15 first thing I want to put out there because I think
16 that's a key issue that needs to be addressed.
17 Especially given all of the changes that have
18 happened with how we run elections. And that brings me
19 to one of my other issues. Which has to do with the
20 timeline of how ballots, mail-in ballots specifically,
21 are received, accepted or rejected, and then cure
22 letters are sent.
23 I requested a cure list because I was volunteering
24 for multiple campaigns throughout this past election
25 cycle. And on that cure list it was marked that the

www.RLResources.com
86
1 Board of Election had not sent cure letters to voters

2 whose ballots were rejected until the Monday after
3 election in some cases, which is the deadline to
4 receive those ballots. And November 16th, in at least
5 two other cases for the town I was looking at at the
6 time. I'm sure there are other examples of this.
7 The problem that I have with that is, by State
8 law, the Board of Elections is required to send those
9 letters in 24 hours of the rejection of the ballot.
10 And the other problem is, the deadline for voters
11 to get those cure forms back in there and have their
12 votes counted and not be disenfranchised is 48 hours
13 before the election is certified.
14 Now, the Board of Elections, when I asked them,
15 they told me first that the deadline was that
16 Wednesday. Then that the deadline was that Thursday.
17 And then they didn't certify the election until today,
18 so the deadline wouldn't have been either of those
19 days, it would have been Saturday.
20 How is someone who is being sent a cure letter to
21 cure their ballot, make sure their vote could be
22 counted, supposed to return there cure letter when it
23 was only sent to them on the 16th and the deadline is
24 the 16th, according to the Board at first. And they
25 wouldn't take cure letters if I returned it to them

1 because there's been a pattern of behavior here,
2 including back in the primary --
3 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Sorry. Your time is up.
4 MR. MARCHICA: I'll wrap it up very quickly.
5 Including both in the primary and this past time
6 when I was campaigning well outside of the election
7 area, a hundred feet buffer that's supposed to exist
8 when your following state law. I had the cops called
9 on me each time by the Board of Elections.
10 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Please --
11 MR. MARCHICA: I will wrap. But I would very much
12 like to see these issues looked into.
13 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Stephanie Faughnan?
14 MS. FAUGHNAN: Good evening. My name is Stephanie
15 Faughnan. My address is 10 Tamarack Court,
16 T-A-M-A-R-A-C-K, in Barnegat, New Jersey.
17 Yes, I came quite a distance here and --
18 MR. HERBERT: And if you could just spell your
19 last name for the record?
20 MS. FAUGHNAN: Sure. F-A-U-G-H-N-A-N. I am here
21 as a reporter. Just as your election is unprecedented,
22 it is unprecedented that I have taken to the
23 microphone, and I will tell you why I have done it.
24 As I mentioned to you, I live in Barnegat. And
25 I'm a freelance reporter. In this case I am covering

www.RLResources.com
88
1 this story for Hamilton and Robbinsville, so you
2 understand why I am impacted by your election.
3 I am very disappointed. But first I would -- you
4 know what, I'm going to tell you the good things. When
5 you began to have a problem, I did contact three
6 different, your three different -- I'm from Ocean
7 County, we only have two. We don't have a
8 Superintendent of Elections.
9 I did contact someone from all three, the Board of
10 Election, Superintendent of Election, and of course,
11 your County Clerk. Kudos to your County Clerk who
12 responded I would say in five minutes of me asking her
13 questions. Same thing, I was able to meet with someone
14 from the Superintendent of Elections.
15 Now, I say "meet," I wasn't planning on coming up
16 here. It's a ride. I have a long ride home in the
17 dark. I shouldn't have had to come up here to stop in
18 on the Board of Elections.
19 Why did I come in to see your Board of Elections?
20 Because I sent three e-mails. None were responded to.
21 Not one, not two, three e-mails.
22 So, as a diligent reporter, I came here, showed up
23 in-person. Very lovely sheriff's office. Officer, one
24 of the gentleman at the county, and I probably got on
25 his nerves quite a bit.

www.RLResources.com
89
1 But the person who was charged, who has not spoken
2 here tonight again, she didn't realize that I
3 recognized her. There's pictures of everybody on the
4 internet. It's wonderful.
5 I brought up the fact that I could not calculate
6 the vote by mail. Now, again, I mentioned I'm from
7 Ocean County. Ocean County, they do the statutory
8 thing. They count the vote by mails before the date of
9 election.
10 Maybe we wouldn't have had this mess here, but I
11 would like answers for my readers to know why the vote
12 by mails were not counted. And when I asked your Board
13 of Elections, I said you have a password on there. How
14 insulting to tell me to Google how to use Excel. I've
15 taught Excel. I think that you need to look at the
16 people you have running your Board of Elections because
17 that is a great part of the problem here.
18 My time is up. Thank you. Unprecedented.
20 Jeffrey Laurenti?
21 MR. LAURENTI: Good evening, Commissioners. My
22 name is Jeff Laurenti. I live at 464 Hamilton Avenue,
23 Chambersburg, Trenton. Obviously there are major
24 concerns that we have all faced --
25 MR. HERBERT: Mr. Laurenti, if you could just

www.RLResources.com
90
1 spell your last name for the record? We all know it,
2 but --
3 MR. LAURENTI: Laurenti, L-A-U-R-E-N-T-I.
5 MR. LAURENTI: The botched administration of the
6 election led to such delays in counting ballots for
7 Trenton's municipal election that we had to delay our
8 runoff by a week. And I didn't know until Tai gave her
9 final result today being five votes short of election
10 that we have been able to avoid a city-wide runoff for
11 at large.
12 This is a huge problem, and there has been some
13 cause for accountability of who's responsible and that
14 is quite fair. We both had a good deal of partisan
15 rhetoric. At least we haven't heard about Italian
16 satellites switching votes or Jewish space lasers
17 affecting the machines. But there's been a certain
18 excess, I would think.
19 We had four districts voting at Trenton High
20 School, which is my own polling place where I'm
21 democratic committeeman for East or District 7, but
22 there were only three scanning machines there.
23 And as Tai pointed out, there was no poll book for
24 that fourth district either for three hours. So people
25 who came in had to vote provisionally. Well, they all

www.RLResources.com
91
1 voted, but provisionally. And that's an inconvenience
2 for voters. It's like three extra pages of what you
3 have to right.
4 The master board worker who came to Trenton High
5 School, whom Tai had mentioned, after 8:00 p.m.
6 directed that the ballots that have been fed because
7 both East 7 and East 8 were being fed into the same
8 scanning machine, directed that the ballots be
9 separated for the two districts.
10 I think that's the source of the story that our
11 republican friends have been repeating multiple times
12 about poll workers sitting on the floor separating the
13 ballots. And then they were told after they had done
14 so laboriously that they didn't need to because the
15 central scanning machines would distinguish between the
16 two districts since you have printed at the top of each
17 ballot what election district you were in and they
18 could read them even if our voters didn't always read
19 them. But no one but poll workers had touched those
20 ballots.
21 Tai also pointed out, and this is important not
22 for the question of what caused the confusion and the
23 printer's error or whatever. But East 8 only had one
24 poll worker, and it's the largest in the four districts
25 voting there. East 7 only had two.

92
1 The issues that perhaps Assemblyman DeAngelo's
2 inquiry should also look at is how we can recruit an
3 adequate number of trained poll workers. So thank you.
4 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: Your time is up.
5 Mark Cubberley?
6 MR. CUBBERLEY: Good evening, Madam Chair, members
7 of the Commission, everyone else present. And I want
8 to thank all the residents and the elected officials
9 and officials who have come out tonight that help us
10 understand what's transpired.
11 My name is Mark Cubberley, C-U-B-B-E-R-L-E-Y. 282
12 Main Street, Hamilton, New Jersey. District 31 in
13 Hamilton.
14 I'm going to try not to repeat everything that
15 I've heard, but I would like to endorse much of what
16 I've heard. I tried to vote in my district at 6:01
17 a.m. because I've been actively involved with a
18 campaign in the South Ward of Trenton. I wanted to get
19 to Trenton as soon as I could.
20 At 6:01 I was told I have to come back because the
21 machines were down. The poll workers did not realize
22 that voters shouldn't leave the polls. That there was
23 an alternative method with emergency ballots and/or
24 provisional ballots.
25 I had to give them the Board of Election's number

www.RLResources.com
93
1 to have them call, and I made calls of my own to try to
2 maintain voters in my district. I watched four of them
3 walk right out the door. I knew immediately there was
4 a problem. I had to vote provisionally myself.
5 I then drove to the closest poll in the South Ward
6 at St. Bartholomew's School. What I observed there was
7 an utter disaster. People had ballots outside of the
8 building because they were given ballots and they were
9 told they could come back and vote.
10 I called the Trenton City Clerk who has been
11 maligned by many on social media. He should not be
12 maligned. The guy was there within seven minutes
13 trying to help resolve the problem.
14 The issues that were countywide were dramatic.
15 They were unprecedented. I for one want to make sure I
16 say, I don't blame the poll workers. This was an
17 unprecedented problem that has never before occurred.
18 Many of them, because of the COVID transition the
19 last couple of years, were new. I don't think that all
20 of them in the county could have been probably trained
21 to deal with the problem. I don't think it's their
22 problem. I think it's an administrative problem.
23 And for those of you who don't know, and I'm sure
24 most of the members of the Board know, I'm a democrat.
25 I'm glad I'm a democrat. I've been a democrat my whole

www.RLResources.com
94
1 life. I love the democratic party. But, we the
2 democrats, we need to look in the mirror. We had a
3 huge problem this day and the response has not been
4 adequate. But I don't mean this Board, I congratulate
5 you for holding this hearing. This is the beginning,
6 and I'm excited that you did that.
7 I too, because I was a challenger and active in a
8 campaign in the south, contacted the Board of
9 Elections, the County Clerk and the Superintendent.
10 Two of the three were very responsive. County Clerk,
11 immediate responses to my requests. The Superintendent
12 of Elections came out. The Deputy Superintendent came
13 out and addressed my concerns. The Board of Elections,
14 to this day, has not addressed a single concern that
15 I've expressed to them, and I've been there virtually
16 everyday since the election.
17 There were eight machines in the South Ward that
18 had ballots left in them that we found at the
19 warehouse. To this day, I don't know what happened to
20 them. I'm hoping they were counted. By the numbers
21 don't add up. The issues are huge. Please address all
22 of them. Thank you.
23 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: All right. Thank you.
24 Natalia Armstrong?
25 All right. We will go to the next one.

1 Stephanie Reichardt?
2 MS. REICHARDT: Stephanie Reichardt,
3 R-E-I-C-H-A-R-D-T, 60 Pinewood Drive, Hamilton.
4 I just want you guys to hear from yet another
5 person who was there the night when the bags were
6 brought in. And, again, we observed no tags, no seals
7 on all the bags, which obviously was already said
8 tonight. I personally made a list of all those bags.
9 I have the number to all of those.
10 While I was keeping that list of bags, I was told
11 at one point that seals don't matter. That the poll
12 workers weren't told that they needed to seal the bags,
13 which is obviously a huge concern. So obviously there
14 was some sort of mixed communication there.
15 Another thing I want to point out, there was
16 actually a Dominion -- a person from Dominion in the
17 room where the ballots were being counted, which is I
18 believe a breach in integrity. I believe only the
19 co-workers were supposed to be back there. That was
20 something that me and a few other people had observed.
21 I'm the Mercer County's Young Republican Chair.
22 We spent a lot of time fundraising and backing our
23 candidates and knocking doors. And it really all just
24 feels like time wasted because we can't trust the
25 results of this election, and I saw it personally.

www.RLResources.com
96
1 And I'm also a forensic chemist. I'm responsible

2 for chain of custody. I've testified to it in Court.
3 I'm not sure if the people that were working the polls
4 are prepared to testify in Court for their actions.
5 I'm honestly just appalled at what I saw and how
6 unorganized the whole thing was.
7 And I just have one last question. Since so much
8 money was spent on this election, I believe what, 2
9 million, and the county totally blew it, are we the
10 people of Mercer County going to be reimbursed for
11 that?
12 MR. MAYFIELD: Good question.
13 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: All right.
14 I don't know if Natalia Armstrong -- did they
15 locate her.
16 UNIDENTIFIED SPEAKER: She left.
17 CHAIRWOMAN MELKER: She left. Okay.
18 All right. I do believe that was all the names,
19 unless anybody wasn't called?
20 All right. So we're going to go on with the rest
21 of our meeting. We're going to take a two-minute
22 break.

Renzi Legal Resources (609) 989-9199

1 The Mercer County Board of Commissioners has

2 requested to have a presentation this evening regarding

3 the voting process and the issues that were experienced

5 We requested this to clarify the problems that

6 occurred and to discuss the issues in an open,

7 transparent and public process.

8 My hope is that this presentation will give the

9 public a clear picture as to what occurred so that the

10 election and its process can continue to have the

11 public's confidence in it.

12 The election process and voting are the

13 cornerstones of our democracy. And we must perform our

14 due diligence to ensure that we do not have this issue

15 that we have had in this past election ever occur

17 After the presentation by the election officials

18 and the vendors and involved parties, I have chosen to

19 use the Chair's privilege to allow the public comment

21 If you wish to comment, please fill out the

22 designated sheet and return them to our staff and you

23 will be called to the microphone.

24 I respectfully ask all hearing attendants to

25 remain decorum. I certainly understand there's a level

1 of frustration, I, however, will not tolerate unruly

3 Do any of my colleagues have anything they would

4 like to say before I proceed?

6 I would like to ask the Mercer County Prosecutor

7 Angelo Onofri to come to the podium with his report.

8 MR. ONOFRI: Angelo Onofri, O-N-O-F-R-I.

9 Chairperson Melker, members of the board, county

10 executives, thank you for having me here this evening.

11 And I just wanted to take a moment to introduce the

12 members of my office who participated in this

14 We have officer in charge William Jet, Detective
