Including the AP, called the New Jersey governor's race late yesterday for the incumbent Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy when the difference was under a point, with 50 to 49.2 percent.
'With the candidates separated by a fraction of a percent out of 2.4 million ballots cast, it's irresponsible of the media to make this call when the New Jersey Secretary of State doesn't even know how many ballots are left to be counted,' Ciattarelli Campaign Communications Director Stami Williams tweeted just 20 minutes after the declaration.
Ciattarelli retweeted Williams' post in protest of the call.
Poll workers apparently accidentally locked themselves out of their machines in Paterson in Passaic County before all the ballots could be counted on some of the machines.
Something similar happened in 56 voting districts in Essex County, causing the machines to be turned off before their ballots were tallied, local election officials said.
As we noted on election night, it was unusual that Ciatterelli was winning Bergen County.
The numbers flipped 52 percent to 47 percent with Ciattarelli up to Murphy 51 percent - Ciattarelli 47 percent in the early morning hours.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
