The process could take about a week or two.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote readability=\"18\">\n<p>Currently, Governor Murphy and I are separated by about 1% after 2.4 million ballots counted. There are still tens of thousands of vote by mail and provisional ballots yet to be counted. And so, the governor\u2018s victory speech last night was premature. No one should be declaring victory or conceding the election until every legal vote is counted.<\/p>\n<p>Here is where we stand. First, we\u2019re going to allow the 21 counties to continue with the process of counting every legal vote by mail and provisional ballot. That could take another week or two and we\u2019ve got compliance people watching over that. If necessary, any decision on recounting or audit will come at the very end of the counting process, not before.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Ciattarelli cautioned people against \u201cfalling victim to wild conspiracy theories or online rumors,\u201d advising them to report any and all evidence of voter irregularity to the NJGOP. In the meantime, he told his supporters to stay patient as his legal and political team sorts through the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now what\u2019s most important is for everyone to be patient and let the process play out. Know this, my team is comprised of some of the best legal and political experts in the country,\u201d he concluded. \u201cI promise you, whatever the outcome, the election results will be legal answer. You have my word. Hopefully, will be fixing New Jersey together.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"8.375\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Time for another Jack Chat.<\/p>\n<p>And this might be the most important one yet, so please watch and share. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Nmc03ATpTV\">pic.twitter.com\/Nmc03ATpTV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Jack Ciattarelli (@Jack4NJ) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Jack4NJ\/status\/1456376805510815752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 4, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>On Wednesday, the Associated Press and the <em>New York Times<\/em> called the race for Murphy&nbsp;when he led Ciattarelli by just over 19,000 votes.
