NJGOP candidate forgot to register to vote

A candidate for the New Jersey GOP State Assembly nomination was not registered to vote in New Jersey according to a report posted on the PolitickerNJ.com website. Robert Villare, a surgeon, signed his voter registration card at the Gloucester County Board of Elections four days after seeking the Cumberland County Republican Party's endorsement for an assembly seat at their convention.

Villare lost the Cumberland County convention to former Cumberland County Surrogate Arthur Marchand and Greenwich Township Mayor George Shivery, who are running as a team. Shivery said that he also heard rumors that Villare was not registered to vote in New Jersey, but "it was so far out there I didn't believe there's any truth to it. I don't even have the words. If it wasn't so ludicrous, it would make a sitcom on television."

I can't think of any better sitcom than a Republican primary in New Jersey.
