Tim Occhipinti calls for State AG to Oversee 4th Ward Election
Hoboken 4th Ward City Council candidate Tim Occhipinti called on the state’s Attorney General to oversee the November 2 city council election in Hoboken to ensure equal access to the polls and to guard against intimidation of voters.
“We are concerned about the Lenz campaign targeting first-time voters and anyone who they have identified as opponents,” said Occhipinti. “They say they want to run a clean campaign but they are targeting voters who vote by mail with ‘bounties’ and intimidation tactics intended to suppress new voters and minorities.”
Occhipinti said ensuring fair elections is the cornerstone of a strong democracy. He called on Lenz to join him in renouncing the intimidation tactics and the suppression of voters. He said Mayor Zimmer
“With the mayor so clearly on one side of this election, it’s important to have an unbiased outside source come in to make sure that everyone who wants to vote gets an opportunity to vote,” he said.
Here is Tim's letter to the Attorney General:
