Former Atlantic City Councilman Accused of Misusing Absentee Ballots

A prominent figure in Atlantic City politics, Former Atlantic City Councilman Craig Callaway has been arrested and charged with election fraud according to a news report of 6abc Philadelphia. Callaway, renowned for his influential role in delivering large blocks of absentee ballots that can heavily impact election outcomes, is now at the center of controversy. The U.S. Attorney’s Office has accused him of depriving and defrauding the residents of New Jersey by fraudulent procurement, casting, and tabulation of ballots, ultimately undermining the fair conduct of elections.

Former Atlantic City Councilman Craig Callaway, according to the prosecution, conspired to exploit absentee ballots for improper purposes. Spectators who elected to vote via mail-in ballots allegedly had individuals compensated to serve as couriers. Allegorically, these messengers purportedly transferred the ballots to Callaway or his associates, as opposed to delivering them to the voters. Contrary to expectations, a significant number of these ballots were ultimately submitted in the names of individuals who explicitly denied participating in the 2022 general election and did not grant authorization for others to vote on their behalf.
