"County Clerk Giralo Reassures Vote-By-Mail Voters
Post Date:09/25/2024 10:55 AM
Atlantic County Clerk Joe Giralo is reassuring residents that the 24,000 Vote-By-Mail ballots that were recently distributed are error-free and can be used and submitted by 8 PM on Election Day, Tuesday, November 5.
Giralo confirmed that an error on the fuchsia-colored instruction card that was included with Vote-By-Mail ballots has been discovered but it does not affect or compromise the ballot. Under Option 3 on the instruction card (as attached), is included the date of last years Election Day, November 7, as the date ballots would need to be returned. The correct date is Tuesday, November 5.
This is an unfortunate error that was discovered after the Vote-By-Mail ballots were mailed. Evidently the instruction cards from last year was inserted in the envelope with this years ballots, stated Giralo.
We are investigating how this mistake occurred.
The County Clerk explained that his office contracts with an outside commercial printer for the printing and mailing of the ballots. According to Giralo, the Atlantic County Clerks Office has been using this printer for 15 years or more..."

County Executive Dennis Levinson said that while this human error is unfortunate, it is avoidable, as he does not believe there is a need for early voting or vote-by-mail.
These efforts to expand voting opportunities are rife for abuse and fraud, extremely costly and unnecessary. We should have one Election Day to ensure the integrity of our processes, he said. We fixed what wasnt broken with our voting system.
Maybe he's the wrong man for the job.
