US Attorney and NY and NJ Fraud Departments Need To Examine Potential Conspiracy

Jersey City, NJ - New Jersey conservative Republican leader Dr. Murray Sabrin, the Garden State's strongest advocate of limited government and individual freedom and candidate for United States Senate, called upon the United States Attorney for New Jersey, Christopher Christie and the New York and New Jersey Insurance Departments to investigate Casal Andrew Unanue's possible violations of Federal Voter Laws and State Auto Insurance Laws.

Dr. Murray Sabrin stated, "Voter fraud is a serious violation and if Andy Unanue committed such violations he should be held accountable. I call upon United States Attorney Chris Christie to investigate these severe revelations of Andy Unanue living in New York City while voting in New Jersey."

Sabrin continued, "New York and New Jersey have the highest auto insurance rates in the nation because of fraud. Andy Unanue's recent comments about having a New Jersey driver's license while living in New York City are extremely disturbing. I am calling upon the Office of the Insurance Fraud Prosecutor in New Jersey and the New York State Insurance Department Fraud Bureau to investigate these troubling disclosures by Andy immediately."

In another case of complete hypocrisy and ignorance, Andy Unanue is New Jersey Republican Chairman Tom Wilson's hand-picked candidate. However, Tom Wilson chastised then-New Jersey Attorney General Peter Harvey in 2005 for failing to clean up voter registration lists. Tom Wilson stated on September 16, 2005, "I know this is going to be a close election and I'm deeply concerned about the integrity of the process. It astounds me that with all that happened in Florida and Ohio and Washington, that we've not been more aggressive." Tom Wilson threatened to file a lawsuit unless Attorney General Harvey acted quickly.

Sabrin asked what role New Jersey Republican Chairman Tom Wilson and Bergen County Republican Chairman Rob Ortiz had in these potential crimes, "Tom Wilson and Rob Ortiz need to disclose to the United States Attorney and the New York and New Jersey fraud investigators their roles in this potential conspiracy to engage in voter fraud and auto insurance fraud. If they knew Andy Unanue was living in New York City while voting in New Jersey then they have some explaining to do."

The New York State Insurance Department – Insurance Fraud Bureau located at 25 Beaver Street in New York City investigates any suspected fraudulent acts. Their phone number is 212-480-6074. According to the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) you must get a New York State driver license within 30 days of becoming a resident of New York State and surrender your out-of-state driver license. Section 250 (5) of the Vehicle and Traffic Law defines the term "resident". The law defines a resident as a person who lives in New York State with the intent to make New York State a "fixed and permanent" place to live. To live in a house, a home, an apartment, a room or other similar place in New York State for 90 days is considered "presumptive evidence" that you are a resident of New York State.

The Division of Criminal Justice in the Office of the New Jersey Attorney General is located at 25 Market Street in Trenton and their phone number is 609-984-6500.

The United States Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey is located at 970 Broad Street in Newark and their phone number is 973-645-2700.
