Former City Council President Gets 2 Years in Prison for Enacting 2022 Mail-in Ballot Scheme
Description
On July 23, Alina Habba, the acting U.S. Attorney for the state of New Jersey, released a statement regarding a former Atlantic City official who was being sentenced to 2 years behind bars for the crime of submitting fake mail-in ballots.
He was found guilty for his role in the procurement, casting, and tabulation of fraudulent mail-in ballots submitted in connection with the general election on Nov. 8, 2022.
The man in question is a political organizer and former president of Atlantic City’s city council—Craig Callaway. His story is quite interesting—because not only does it highlight a concrete example of major ballot fraud, but also, it shows us how this type of fraud cuts across party lines—being used by both Republicans and Democrats.
We covered this story briefly when the charges against Callaway first came to light last year. Now let’s go through the details of his election operations in Atlantic City.
