Ciattarelli to Concede New Jersey Gubernatorial Race to Incumbent Governor

The Epoch Times Header

Jack Ciattarelli, a Republican who challenged New Jersey incumbent governor Phil Murphy in the 2021 gubernatorial race, is expected to concede on Friday, reported the New Jersey Herald.

As of Thursday, Murphy leads Ciattarelli by nearly 74,000 votes with all votes counted, stated NJ.com, citing The Associated Press. Murphy received 51 percent of the votes while Ciattarelli got 48 percent, according to NJ.com.

On Monday, Murphy called on his challenger to concede saying, โ€œWhen itโ€™s mathematically impossible to win, I think itโ€™s dangerousโ€ to not concede, reported the New Jersey Globe.

On Nov. 3, The Associated Press declared the Democrat governor winner, with 98 percent of precincts reporting and with more than 2.3 million votes cast.

Tallying votes in New Jersey took longer than expected as the state implemented this year new technology to support the election, including new voting machines. For example, in Paterson, election officials could not count ballots because they accidentally locked the machines, according to the New Jersey Herald.

In Newark and some other New Jersey cities, poll workers in 56 districts did not count votes due to โ€œpoll worker error,โ€ reported the New Jersey Herald. A judge order was needed to reinstate their access to the machines.

Ciattarelli is a former New Jersey assemblyman, a certified public accountant, a two-time small-business owner, and a lifelong resident of New Jersey.

He campaigned under the banner โ€œLetโ€™s Fix New Jersey.โ€ He told New Jerseyans that, as a governor, he would address the stateโ€™s most pressing issues, such as the highest property taxes in the nation, state government overspending, insufficient support for local and state police, and reforming public school curriculum. Ciattarelli also promised to foster business growth and create more jobs in the state.

Murphyย has held leadership roles at Goldman Sachsโ€™s offices in Germany and Hong Kong for more than 20 years and served as an ambassador to Germany during the Obama administration. He was also a finance chair for the Democratic National Committee.
