Lawmaker says Hoboken probe proves need for stiff penalties for voter fraud Jersey Journal ^ A Republican lawmaker from Middlesex County is using the federal probe into an alleged cash-for-votes scheme in Hoboken to propose stiffer penalties for voter fraud. In a statement, state Sen. Sam Thompson said the claims in the indictments, which allege developer Frank Raia directed associates to promise voters $50 in exchange for their votes in 2013's Hoboken elections, are an "affront to our democracy" that must be stopped. Raia was an at-large council candidate that year and also supported a ballot initiative on Hoboken rent-control laws.
