Statement on Court Case from Mike Lenz Campaign Manager Sam Briggs:
"The reports by our opponents and certain journalists that our case was “thrown out of court” are incorrect and represent wishful thinking on behalf of the Occhipinti campaign. Judge Maurice Galipoli ruled that our application to have Vote by Mail ballots sequestered was “premature” in part because the Hudson County Superintendant of Elections is in the midst of an ongoing investigation into the clear and solid evidence of allegations of pervasive Election fraud by the Occhipinti campaign. He did not issue any opinion or rule on the merits of the allegations that are still being investigated.
Evidence of fraud will, in any event, be presented to the Hudson County Board of elections during the challenge process now and after the election. In light of the substantial evidence already developed and the investigations being conducted by the Superintendent of Elections, we are confident that the ultimate judgement will be in our favor when the allegations are considered on their merits. "
My take: The opera aint over till the fat lady sings. Stayed tuned.

Update at 3:45 PM: I received a text message from two sources that indicated that the Plaintiffs (Mike Lenz) had the complaint tossed out (not on merits but the judge said "the application was premature") that the campaign was trying to get an appeal. I will keep you posted of any further developments. Only in Hudson County!
Original Post:
From Sam Briggs Mike Lenz Campaign Manager:
There will be a Hearing for Counsel from each party today at 2 pm in front of Judge Gallipoli to get temporary restraint. Due to the irreversible harm if the illegal ballots are counted (not only to the Mike Lenz campaign but also the Campaigns of Henrietta Dwyer, Congressman Sires, Sheriff Perez, and Undersheriff Schillari), the Lenz Campaign is calling for all Mail in Ballots to be sequestered until an investigation by the Superintendent of Elections and the Attorney General's Office can be completed.
