An Atlantic City councilmember has been charged with voter fraud, lying to the FBI about the alleged voter fraud, and falsely collecting nearly $40,000 in pandemic benefits for the unemployed while he was working for Atlantic City, federal prosecutors announced Friday.15-page criminal complaint
“During lawfully recorded conversations between this voter and Morshed concerning possible questioning by law enforcement, Morshed directed the voter, if questioned by law enforcement, to make false representations about where the voter lived and who filled out the voter forms that Morshed had given to the voter,” Sellinger said.Last year, Morshed met with “PV-1″ after law-enforcement agents visited the voter’s Galloway Township residence, according to the criminal complaint.
FBI agents then questioned Morshed, who denied that he committed any of the unlawful actions, and falsely stated that he never asked people who lived outside Atlantic City to register to vote in Atlantic City’s 4th Ward, Sellinger said. In April 2020, Morshed applied for pandemic unemployment assistance in New Jersey and listed his “main occupation” under the category of “taxi drivers and chauffeurs,” according to the criminal complaint.
Other than that.... he is a great guy!
