The New Jersey Election Dataset Mess: A 1709-Year-Old Voter Successfully Voted

In analyzing New Jersey's voter dataset, I found New Jersey's election fraud could be more serious than Pennsylvania's, but it has been kept out of the public eye because it is not a swing state.  Since New Jersey sends all active voters mail-in ballots automatically, the accuracy of the voter list is extremely important.

First, I would like to talk a little about the reason for reading the New Jersey database.

While analyzing the Pennsylvania data set, I came across a suspicious set of voter information from voters who lived in Pennsylvania and used out-of-state phone numbers. With the help of a fraud investigator from Epochtimes, we were able to make random phone calls to verify the information.  

A Mr. Thomas X, who lives in Adams County, told us that he had lived temporarily in a neighboring state, New Jersey, and then returned to his home state of Pennsylvania. This time when he went to vote, Pennsylvania would not let him vote, saying that he was registered as a voter in New Jersey as a Democrat. He was furious and said he had never registered in New Jersey and he wanted to vote in Pennsylvania.  He said he had been a Republican all his life, so how could he be registered as a Democrat?  He fought for it, spending more than two hours on the phone to New Jersey, insisting that his fake registration be cancelled, and he was eventually allowed to vote in Pennsylvania. He said he was willing to testify publicly about his voting experience, and specifically asked our reporter to help investigate whether he had actually been de-registered in New Jersey?

Mr. Thomas' information was found in the New Jersey dataset.  Record showed he was registered in April 2019 and has indeed been marked as inactive now.

So I requested the New Jersey government for data to analyze and was given the statewide dataset dated December 16th, 2020.  

I started with matching the voters of Pennsylvania and New Jersey on phone numbers. I was trying to find cases like Mr. Thomas, and found 18 cases successfully.  Each voted in both states: with the same name, date of birth, and phone number.  It is entirely possible that even these people are unaware that their personal information have been stolen and used to register to vote across state lines.  The following chart listed these 18 records for comparison with sensitive information removed.

 

Now let's get to the official analysis.  New Jersey's election dataset consists of three kinds of tables: voter registration, voter voting history, and current mail-in ballot records.  Through the analysis it appears that there are common problems in the New Jersey data that have been found in those swing states.

A. Analysis of Voter Registration Data
 

Doubt #1. Half of the state's counties have more active voters than the adult citizen population

The population of New Jersey in 2020 is 8,936,570 (2020: world population review), 

the percentage of adults is 78.2%, (2019: US Census) and 

the percentage of citizens is 90.6%, (2018: Data USA).

So the adult citizens are about 6.3 million (6,331,488).

There are 6,505,323 records in the registed voter table, and 6,068,623 of them are active voters. That is 95.8% of adult citizens. Given that New Jersey lets citizens to initiate the voter registration, this rate is clearly too high.

So, let's break down the population and active voters to look at the county level:  With only 21 counties, half of New Jersey counties have more active voters than the county's adult citizen population, which are clearly impossible.

Doubt #2:  18,414 "phantom" successful voted with oldest 1709 years old

The oldest living person in the United States is Hester Ford who was born in 1904 and is now 116 years old.  Checking by date of birth among New Jersey's active voters, there are 38,284 seniors older than Hester, of whom 18,414 have successfully voted this time.  The chart below lists the oldest dozens who have voted this time.  The oldest voter recorded was born in 0311, which is equivalent to 1709 years old this year with an unknown gender.

Doubt #3: Registered Too Early

There are 12,672 voters listed with a voter registration date before they were 17 years old.  Implausibly, 7,800 were registered to vote before they were born.

Again, since New Jersey sends all active voters mail-in ballots automatically, the accuracy of the voter list is extremely crucial to a fair election.

B. Analysis of Voter History Data Set

567 Thousand Votes in the Official Website May Be Fake

New Jersey's official website state.nj.us has posted the number of votes cast already: 4,549,353 ( sum all in this report ). The voter history table contains records of voters' voting dates and addresses since 2007.  As in other states, each record only contains general information, not who the voter voted for.  The sum of vote records cast for the 2020 General Election was found to be: 4,208,495.

Upon further inspection, I found duplicate records for the same voter ID among these votes. After filtering out the duplicate records, it was found that the actual total number of voters was only 3,981,728, a difference of more than 226 thousand votes (226,767 = 4,208,495 - 3,981,728).  In other words, there are more than 226 thousand ballots recorded in the database were duplicates.

Finally, subtracting this number 3,981,728 from the official number (4,549,353 votes) equals 567,625 votes. In other words, the real number of voters should be 567 thousand less than the official announcement.

C. Absentee Dataset

There were 6,044,978 records of information in the absentee table, of which 6,020,278 were actually mailed out.

As mentioned above, New Jersey automatically mailed ballots to all 6,068,623 active voters.  So these three numbers kinda matched (only 0.8% difference: maybe due to some address problems).

Then 4,245,048 ballots were returned, about 70.5% of what's mailed.

Each record of the mailed ballots includes the date they were mailed, the date they were returned, and the date they were counted.  The first two are easy to understand, and the count date must be the day the ballots were scanned and counted into the database.

The unexpected phenomena are.

1. 2,308 ballots were mailed and then returned the very next day.

2. 2,409 ballots were returned the same day they were mailed.

3. 1,026 records showed they were returned before they were mailed.

 4. There are also 30,708 ballots that were counted first and then received.

Checking the data above, there seems to be an attempt to change all mail-in ballots received after the general election day to be counted on the general election date.  So I broke down these mail-in ballots a bit more and found that, indeed, all such ballots were all counted on the General Election Day (Nov. 3).  Three counties (Middlesex, Ocean, Somerset) were involved, changing all ballots received from the 4th to the 18th to be counted on the 3rd.  Is such modification legal?

5. Counted Dates

Finally, let's focus on "counted" dates.  The latest date to certify ballots in New Jersey should be December 8th, but the dataset showed that there were still ballots counted on December 11th.  That's three days later than Dec. 8, and the number is more than 347,000.  How can it be possible? (Note: The following table omits the dates in which the counted was less than a thousand)

After the analysis with the New Jersey dataset, we can understand why New Jersey joined to reject the case of Texas vs. Four Swing States in Supreme Court for election fraud a few days ago -- New Jersey's own election fraud was probably worse than the swing states.

In my opinion, New Jersey's government should conduct a rigorous audit of its registered voter rolls, allowing each party to audit them independently on a regular basis.
