The race for Congress in New Jersey’s 7th district narrowed again on Friday afternoon and now just 4,604 votes separate Democratic Rep. Tom Malinowski (D-Ringoes) from his Republican challenger, Senate Minority Leader Tom Kean, Jr. (R-Westfield).
Kean picked up 551 votes in Morris County and now trails Malinowski, 206,820 to 202,216, 50.6% to 49.4%.
Morris County added 4,493 votes to the 7th district tally, with Kean winning 56% of the newly-counted votes.
Malinowski started the day with a 5,496-vote lead over Kean. The freshman congressman was in front of Kean by 28,412 votes on election night.
Around 32,360 more ballots remain uncounted as election officials continue tabulations that began ten days before the election.
By my calculations, Kean needs 57% of the remaining vote to win.
Way too close to call...
They could have called in 30 4th graders to count ballots and it wouldn’t take this long
My district as well. They called this way too soon.
My district also. Once reliably Republican but was redrawn and diluted to add a portion of Union County some years back. It also does not help that Somerset County (my County) once reliably red, has been trending toward the dark side for several years now.
Good news. Malinowski is a particularly vile rat.
Also my district and county. Somerset County Board of Freeholders went 'RAT for the first time in years. They are moving "their people" around in the county to turn precincts, municipalities and districts blue.
Wait until Biden accepts every refugee on Earth and puts them in all the red states. We’re screwed. Trump needs a miracle now!
Just bad trends in historic Somerset County now. It is very sad. Hardly a few months go by these days without a murder or shooting in Somerset (Franklin Township). That was completely unheard of a few years ago. When I need cheering up these days, I drive over to Hunterdon where hundreds if not thousands of Trump flags and signs still are flying high. But even they are being invaded now too.
One of our problem is the large number of legal immigrants from India who have settled in our county. Generally nice, intelligent, quiet and hard working people but when they become eligible to vote, they vote overwhelmingly democrat. On the local electoral maps you can see the suburban neighborhoods with many Indians living there, they are enclaves of dark blue surrounded by red.
And when I need Motor Vehicle services/inspections, I drive over to the Hunterdon facility, which has a real atmosphere of Americana and I don't feel as though I'm in Juarez or Tijuana, which is the case in Somerville, Edison and others.
NJ has definitely been targeted to replace its American population with Thirdworlders; the Asians are the replacement white-collar workers and the Hispanics are the replacement blue-collar workers.
When I see them I see a lost American jobs and in many cases a foreclosed American home; there are whole colonies of them living in developments formerly inhabited by Americans, working jobs formerly worked by Americans.
I wonder if this is the first time a Kean has lost in New Jersey.
Some family history
Kean was born in Livingston, New Jersey, the son of Deborah (née Bye) and Thomas Kean, a former governor of New Jersey. He grew up on the family’s estate in Livingston. His grandfather is Robert Kean, a former congressman from New Jersey. His great-grandfather, Hamilton Fish Kean, and great-great-uncle, John Kean, were both United States Senators. His grandmother’s family are descendants of Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch colonial Governor of New Amsterdam (now known as New York). His great-grandmother, Katharine Winthrop, was a direct descendant of John Winthrop, the first governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He is also a direct descendant of Thomas Dudley, Governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and a signer of Harvard College’s charter. His second great-great-uncle was Hamilton Fish, a United States Senator, Governor of New York, and U.S. Secretary of State. He is also a relative of William Livingston, the first governor of New Jersey.
He lost a primary for congress in 2000 and the United States Senate election in 2006 to Bob Menendez.
It is the East Indians and white wimmin who turned Somerset County blue.
