Alina Habba, acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey, issued a warning ahead of the state’s tightly contested 2025 gubernatorial election against any form of voter fraud. She emphasized that the U.S. Attorney’s Office, in coordination with the FBI, will investigate and prosecute criminal activities such as voter intimidation, bribery, impersonation, ballot tampering, and ballot stuffing, regardless of the offender’s party affiliation. This caution comes as Democrat Rep.Mikie Sherrill and Republican businessman jack Ciattarelli are engaged in a closely watched race for governor. Polls show a dead heat, with Ciattarelli aiming to flip the seat red. The Sherrill campaign recently enlisted former President Barack Obama’s support amid growing concerns about a potential republican victory. Additionally, a competitive gubernatorial election is underway in Virginia, where voters are deciding between Democrat Abigail Spanberger and republican Lt.Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears.

“The US. Attorney’s Office will coordinate with our partners at the FBI to respond to complaints related to the upcoming general election,” she pledged in a video message posted to X.
“This office will investigate and prosecute any criminal activity related to the election process, including intimidating or bribing voters, buying and selling voters, impersonating voters, altering voting ballot ballots and tallies, stuffing ballot boxes and marking ballots for voters against their wishes or without their input, and it will do so regardless of who commits those crimes and regardless of party or affiliation,” Habba continued.
Her statement comes as all eyes are on New Jersey, where Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) and businessman Jack Ciattarelli are battling for the governor’s seat in one of the most closely watched races in the country.
