There’s a new Hoboken tradition this year, rampant illegal sign postings.  They all seem to be sharing a similar approach to posting the signs up in illegal places high up so no one can easily remove them.

Here’s some of the latest:

Here’s a sign placed high illegally on a pole at 9th and Garden for Stack and company.  A local resident noted there are plenty all illegally posted around the neighborhood.

Same deal – another illegal sign for MSTA posted high up on a utility poll out of reach of anyone.

Another illegal MSTA sign posted but this low enough and felt the wrath of a voter.

Is there no tree safe from a ballot question?  Apparently not.

This sign was said to be stapled to a tree for today’s ballot question in Hoboken.

Reliable sources state the Department of Justice is most interested in the Hoboken election.  An investigation has been opened and the US Attorney’s Office is in charge.

MSV is accepting additional tips and information at smartyjones@me.com.  Operation Bounty is in effect.

The Office of US Attorney Paul Fishman announced:

NEWARK

Appearing on Facebook, one “Hoboken Born” has an offer:

It’s no accident when a campaign sign illegally finds its way 15 feet up on a public utility poll and doubly so when it’s within 100 feet of a polling station – obvious lawbreaking of the NJ Electioneering rules.

Well those ‘benevolent humanitarians’ are at it again.  Wot a surprise, not.

An illegal sign is posted on a utility poll right outside a polling station in the fourth ward. That’s how the Raia-Mason slate rolls breaking the law left and right. Had enough?

Today is Election Day and the polls are open.  Our Republic is only a dream if you don’t preserve it.  This is your day and time to shine by honoring our Founding Fathers, many who suffered and were imprisoned for their effort in the formation of our imperfect union.

The time for arguing, posturing and yelling is over.  While the Old Guard is speaking reasonable in public and mirroring platform positions of Mayor Dawn Zimmer in a rush to sound appealing in their “me too” copycat actions on parks, transparency and good government – what they are doing elsewhere speaks volumes on what they think of you and our public institutions.

Two Column B candidates under Gov. Chris Christie sent out the above mailer forwarded to MSV by a fourth ward resident.

They highlighted the massive scam being perpetuated on Hoboken with a massive redevelopment of the Hoboken Housing Authority being pitched with no binding details, legal or otherwise.  The only details offered came in a  marketing brochure promising to double the density and size of the downtown HHA campus – BY MORE THAN DOUBLE!

When the whistle was blown here and on Grafix Avenger, the cries of racism rose up from those who see only one color: green. Read More...

From the desk of City Council President Peter Cunningham:

As everyone knows, I am supporting the Zimmer Team and Kids First.  The candidates for Mayor, Council and School Board have all been working real hard.  We know because we have seen them in the streets, knocking on doors, and writing to their neighbors.

I have been out there too, and the vibe is good.

However, there are two issues which can doom this campaign and years of hard work toward the tremendous changes we have made in local government – complacency and voter fraud.  We have had both, and together it’s a perfect storm.

We need our voters to turn out.  Elections in Hoboken have for a fact been won (or lost) by ONE VOTE.  We must not take the good vibe for granted.  Please make sure you study the ballot preferably before you get to the polls and vote.  It’s a crowded ballot with many candidates and issues to consider.  Be patient at the polls.  There may be new people working the polls, or changes inside your polling location.  With the crowds, it could be confusing, but you must cast your vote. Voter fraud happens in Hoboken, it happened against me in 2007.  It is likely to happen at the polls in an effort to discourage you, but you must cast your vote!  Don’t be turned away if you think you are a legitimate voter.  Vote a provisional ballot if they will not let you vote on the machine.  You must cast your vote!

‘Twas the eve of the election and all through out Hoboken,  Many kleptocrats were stirring, with hearts about to be broken, The VBMs were all gathered by bearer with criminal flare, In effort to unseat the mayor from her City Hall chair.

The Callichio’s were fighting for each and every bought vote, (allegedly)

They were on opposite teams but both for government bloat, Read More...

While we only have 12 hours left, our work is not yet done. Last night, our Neighborhood Volunteers met one final time to walk-through our Election Day Plan.

Can you believe that?  One vote. Don’t let this race come down to one vote.  Hoboken needs the Zimmer Team and the Zimmer Team needs you to get out and vote.  Make a plan tonight. Take a look at our sample ballot. Make sure you and your family are ready to vote. Have the day off? Have a couple of hours after work? After you vote, we will be working to make sure that every Hoboken voter remembers that this election will shape the future of our city.It is not too late to join us!
