A New Jersey judge this week ordered a new election held for a City Council race, nearly two months after the challenger and three others were charged in a voter fraud scheme.

The May 12 election “was not the fair, free, and full expression of the intent of the voters,” Superior Court Judge Ernest Caposela wrote in his three-page ruling. “It was rife with mail in vote procedural violations constituting nonfeasance and malfeasance.”
