County Clerk Reminds Voters about the New Vote by Mail Law which will affect the November General Election

Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon

FREEHOLD, NJ – Monmouth County Clerk Christine Giordano Hanlon is reminding voters that a new law signed by Governor Phil Murphy in August dramatically changed the Vote by Mail rules in New Jersey. These changes are effective immediately and will impact the November General Election.

The new law mandates that all voters who voted by mail in the 2016 General Election be sent a Mail-In Ballot for the 2018 General Election, even if they did not request one. If these voters do not want to receive a 2018 General Election Mail-In Ballot, they must notify the County Clerk in writing to opt out.

“All of these 2016 Mail-In Ballot voters have been sent a letter from the County Clerk’s Office advising of this change, so it is important that voters be on the lookout for this letter,” said Clerk Hanlon.

Josh Welle to Host Meet and Greet with Howell “Racists”

ShoreNewsNetwork

HOWELL TOWNSHIP-Josh Welle, a candidate for New Jersey’s fourth congressional district is once again entering a town which he considers racist, this time Howell Township.

Last month, Welle visited Jackson Township, one of four towns he labeled as racist and discriminatory strongholds in the fourth district.  Other towns cited were Millstone and Allentown.

The progressive Democrat is on a mission to combat the “racists” in the fourth congressional district of New Jersey.   Those racists he says are the of residents Jackson and Howell Townships.  On Sunday, he is coming to confront those he has called out in a public town hall meeting.

Welle had left no context as to why he singled out residents of four Central Jersey towns as racists after many attempts by SNN to allow him to clarify his comments.

“I want to move this district forward,” Welle said. “I want to fight against racism and discrimination in this district.”
