New Jersey GOP gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli issued a promise to supporters to keep up the fight in the election that was narrowly decided for Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, but all ”legal votes” must first be counted.
”Currently, Gov. Murphy and I are separated by about 1% after 2.4 million ballots counted,” Ciattarelli said in his latest Jack Chat video posted Thursday on Twitter. ”There are still tens of thousand vote by mail and provisional ballots yet to be counted.
”And so, the governor’s victory speech last night was premature. No one should be declaring victory or conceding the election until every legal vote is counted.”
After Newsmax and other media outlets called the race for Murphy, the incumbent governor delivered a victory speech Wednesday night, which Ciattarelli’s campaign also called premature.
”Two days ago, shock waves were sent throughout our state and the national political world, all because a Republican was in position to win the race for governor here in New Jersey,” Ciattarelli’s Jack Chat began. ”Despite what the polls, press and pundits were saying, I knew I could win.
”Why? Because every time a governor of this state has taken us too far off track, the decent, hardworking people of New Jersey have always risen up and said, ‘That’s not where we want to go.”’
