Republican wants to have his own daughter’s ballot disqualified after she voted Democratic​
Thomas Baio


A New Jersey Republican is challenging an absentee ballot cast by his daughter after losing his re-election bid by three votes.


Morris County Republicans intend to file a lawsuit contesting the results of the Nov. 8 election after Mendham Township committeeman Tom Baio lost his campaign for another three-year term, in part because his own daughter voted Democratic in a ballot he placed in the mail himself, reported the Observer-Tribune.

"Like many parents driven by a sense of duty, we were wrong to advance the VBM to my daughter, Ariana," Baio said. "My daughter did answer the call of duty and did vote by the mail-in ballot. We all need to correct this behavior. As parents, and as citizens of towns as great as Mendham, I call on all Mendham residents next year to heed this example. As shameful as it is, we need to correct this behavior. I know I will."

Especially since I lost by maybe three VBM ballots, so y'all shouldn't allow kids to vote.
