New Jersey Residents Can Vote By Email Or Fax

One of my cousins lives in Piscataway with her family and their power is still out but they feel grateful. One of their huge trees came crashing down, took out their deck and put a hole in their garage. They are grateful because if the tree came down the other way, it would have landed on the room they were in. They are also grateful for their neighbor with a generator and he has kept their refrigerator going so they have something to eat. My cousin was also happy IHOP was open. Just goes to show what can happen when people help out others. We're seeing that reported all over New Jersey and for now anyway, look like politics took a back seat by the tone Governor Christ set.

New Jersey Residents Can Vote By Email Or Fax, Governor Chris Christie Says
11/03/12

TRENTON, N.J. -- New Jersey will allow residents displaced by Superstorm Sandy to vote by email or fax.

Officials announced Saturday that registered voters can vote electronically. A resident must submit a mail-in ballot application by fax or email to the local county clerk.

When the request is received, a ballot will be emailed or faxed back. Ballots must be returned no later than 8 p.m. Tuesday.

Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno says the effort will help alleviate pressure on polling places Tuesday. New Jersey is using military trucks in place of damaged polling places.

Officials say electronic voting is also an option for emergency workers. The option is already open to New Jersey voters overseas and in the military.
