Once again, another day and another civil rights scandal in the fourth ward.  Grafix Avenger recounts allegations from a woman in the HHA who has stood up to Carmelo Garcia and Vision 20/20 with a report of harassment right inside the voting polls yesterday.

The poll worker told the long time Hoboken resident (who attended Hoboken High School) she could not vote as she “didn’t live here.”

Jessica Coco, a member of the HHA tenant group “Save the Projects” recounted her voting experience yesterday.  Those mentioned attempting to block her from voting are self-declared “Friends of Carmelo” re: Carmelitos and past paid recipients of Tim Occhipinti campaigns.

Here’s an excerpt of yesterday’s latest attack on Jessica Coco’s civil rights:

I was told I couldn’t vote, because I didn’t live there. The woman didn’t ask me for my name or ask my address, but she did comment that I’m against Vision 2020.  She knew enough who I was to know I’m against Vision 2020 because I didn’t tell her. She refused to let me vote because she said I don’t live here, because I’m a “crac”. Twice she repeated this and stopped short before blurting out “cracker head”.
