I went to a early voting mobile station 3 blocks from my apartment, then found out there was one right next to me that I had been “assigned” to. Will my vote still be counted even though I didn’t go to the one I was assigned to?
The Parental Rights group Chaos and Control which runs the website "NewJerseyProject" seems to be an offshoot of the Moms for Liberty group. Chaos and Control describe themselves as on a mission to "help you with the present crisis of corruption in the administration of public education" but from the articles the post it seems like they are just a mirror of what Mons for Liberty push. The NewJerseyProject group has been cleaning up their website to try and remove their linkage to the Chaos and Control site recently. They wayback machine is off recently with the hacks going on there but you can still see it on their site a little with various links to articles and such. However their image cleanup will eventually be complete to not show the linkage between the 2 websites.
This group is anti-mask, anti-vax (described as "medical freedom"), anti-LGBTQ+ inclusion, group of Covid Conspiracy theorists, that want to get the "radical leftists" out to prevent the "'grooming' of our children with abnormal and life altering sexual ideology". These people are way out there in their thinking, at least in my opinion.
To see who this group also endorses (or "recommends" per their website), they're very supportive of Mike Crispi who is a proud MAGA supporter and My Pillow advertiser that founded the America First Republicans of New Jersey and was chosen by the Trump Campaign as a Statewide New Jersey Delegate to the Republican National Convention. Per his website he is committed to spreading the MAGA message and ensuring President Trump returns to the White House.
Back to the New Jersey School Board candidates, the website says that their list is "not an endorsement nor authorized by any candidate or any candidate’s committee" however the literal title of the list is "Parent Recommended School Board". You can decide for yourself if a recommended list of who they would like you to vote for is actually an endorsement or not.
So if you agree with book banning, think Covid was a conspiracy, believe there should be no sexual education or discussion of sexuality within the school at all, like not even recognize that there is such a thing as gay, and think our top rated schools in New Jersey are here "grooming" our children to be sexual deviants then the list of candidates below are the ones who are recommended for you to vote for. If you disagree those things than the candidate list below are the ones you want to avoid.
