PRESS RELEASE: Hirsh Singh Voter Fraud Efforts Condemned by Chairman Earlen

Burlington County Republican Chairman Sean Earlen joined “fellow GOP leaders Chairmen Ambrosino and Barlas” in calling out Republican US Senate candidate Hirsh Singh for his “vote early and if you change your mind, vote again” strategy. Chairman Earlen’s press release follows:

I'm appalled by Hirsh Singh’s reckless and ill-advised efforts to encourage voter fraud. This unprecedented election is confusing enough without a perennial candidate throwing a political Hail Mary and recommending voters return multiple ballots - which is clearly against the law. 

I join fellow GOP leaders including Chairmen Ambrosino and Barlas in condemning Singh's blatant attempt to mislead voters and add more hurdles to the already overburdened vote-by-mail process.  This blatant ignorance further emphasizes why 17 county GOP organizations, including Burlington County, endorsed Rik Mehta over Singh. Voters must say no to the Singh-Richter slate who will say anything and do anything in their quest to grab a title. This is the latest example of why all Republicans must say no to these dirty, underhanded tricks by Singh and Richter and support real conservatives Rik Mehta and Kate Gibbs in next month's Primary Election.

Liar, Liar, Pants On Fire: Singh Mailer Claims Palatucci Endorsement

Hirsh Singh

It’s no secret that former beauty pageant winner and Republican candidate for US Senate Hirsh Singh and I aren’t best friends, probably because I never got over the fact he lied to me in our first ever phone conversation. For what it’s worth, I’m fairly certain Bill Palatucci isn’t one of my biggest fans either. I’m sure I made him mad a time or two over the years, but I make Bob mad at least once a week and he’s still doing the radio show with me.

The only reason I mention that I’m not on Singh or Palatucci’s Christmas card list is to demonstrate that I’m on no one’s side on this particular issue.

So, earlier today Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino issued a statement ripping Republican US Senate candidate Hirsh Singh for using a campaign mailing to tell voters. “vote early and if you change your mind, vote again.”

Of course that led me to make some phone calls looking for this mailer, not just the letter, the whole thing.

Shockingly I learned that, according to the mailer, “NJ RNC Committeeman Bill Palatucci” has endorsed Singh.

Wait! Didn’t I read that Palatucci withdrew his endorsement of Singh?

The answer to that question is yes. New Jersey Globe covered that a week before the Singh mailer started hitting mailboxes. A little from the New Jersey Globe piece:

Republican National Committeeman Bill Palatucci has rescinded his endorsement of Hirsh Singh in the July 7 U.S. Senate primary and is now endorsing Rik Mehta.

Palatucci says he made the decision to endorse Mehta after a Singh campaign advisor repeated an unsubstantiated allegation against former Gov. Chris Christie on social media.

Not a good mailer from Singh, telling voters to break the law and vote twice and claiming he’s endorsed by someone who withdrew that endorsement.

I guess I’ll be staying of Singh’s Christmas card list.

PRESS RELEASE: Camden County GOP Chair Calls On Hirsh Singh To Stop Confusing Voters

Camden County GOP Chairman Rich Ambrosino took issue with a letter sent from the campaign of US Senate candidate Hirsh Singh. Ambrosino’s press release follows:

Camden County Republican Chairman Rich Ambrosino after receiving an image of a mailer sent by US Senate candidate Hirsh Singh called on the candidate to “immediately cease all attempts at confusing voters.”

In the Singh campaign mailer the candidate writes, “As a patriot, if you have been hoodwinked into voting for Rik Mehta, it is your patriotic duty to contact your county clerk and request a duplicate ballot to vote for the only Conservative Hirsh Singh. Your duplicate ballot will replace your earlier ballot.”

“In all my years participating in Republican politics this is a first! Singh is telling voters, vote early and if you change your mind, vote again. Al Capone would be proud.” Rich Ambrosino said, “I never thought I would live to see the day when a candidate for any office actually begged voters to change a vote they already cast.”

Ambrosino asked, “Can you ask someone who has already cast a vote on a machine to go back into the polling place to change their vote? Then, why should you be able to ask voters to change a vote they already cast by mail?”

“Singh needs to understand we aren’t playing a child’s game, this is an election, there are no do overs. For all his talk of patriotism Singh should understand it is very unpatriotic to ask people to vote twice,” Ambrosino said. “At this time I am calling on Hirsh Singh to publicly and immediately halt all attempts at confusing voters and to stop this nonsense of asking folks to vote twice. There are no do overs during non-pandemic elections and the same rule should apply now.”
