An observant election challenger for the Hoboken City Council elections helped police arrest a man who later confessed to attempting to fradulently vote for $10. The Hudson Reporter reported, "The man told police that earlier that morning, someone came to St. Lucy's shelter in a car and asked the homeless men outside the shelter if they wanted to make $10, the police later told Branciforte [the election challenger]. The homeless man told police that he was paid to vote for a specific person." Since the man did not actually vote, he was later released, but, as the paper stated, questions remain about who was behind the fraud, if it happened at other times and whether law enforcement will try to identify who paid the man.
