They can’t win without CHEATING! The modern Democrat Party is completely LAWLESS.

Former Lumberton Township Mayor and current Committeewoman Gina LaPlaca, along with her husband, Democratic operative Jason Carty, are facing a new round of criminal charges after prosecutors say they submitted fraudulent signatures to place LaPlaca on the June Democratic primary ballot for the Lumberton Township Committee.

Burlington County Prosecutor LaChia L. Bradshaw’s office announced the charges this week. An investigation found that multiple people whose names and purported signatures appeared on LaPlaca’s nominating petition never signed it and never authorized anyone to sign on their behalf. Without those fake signatures, LaPlaca would not have had enough valid signatures to qualify for the ballot at all.

LaPlaca, 47, signed a sworn affidavit claiming she had “personally circulated the petition” and that every signature was in the voter’s own handwriting. Investigators determined her husband Carty, 49, also collected signatures. The petition was submitted to the Lumberton Township Municipal Clerk by Carty.

The charges:

  • LaPlaca faces fourth-degree making a false statement under oath, third-degree knowingly filing a false petition, two counts of third-degree tampering with public records or information, and fourth-degree falsifying or tampering with records.
  • Carty faces third-degree knowingly filing a false petition, two counts of third-degree tampering with public records or information, and fourth-degree falsifying or tampering with records.

Both are scheduled to appear in Superior Court in Mount Holly on September 21.

Official Burlington County results show LaPlaca finishing dead last in the three-candidate race for two committee seats. She received just 323 votes, or 13.03 percent.

This is not LaPlaca’s first brush with the law.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, LaPlaca pleaded guilty earlier this year to DUI and fourth-degree child abuse after driving intoxicated with her two-year-old child in the vehicle.

Authorities said her blood-alcohol concentration was 0.30 percent, nearly four times New Jersey’s legal limit, after she picked up the child from daycare on St. Patrick’s Day 2025.

Despite the disturbing circumstances, LaPlaca avoided incarceration and was admitted into New Jersey’s Pretrial Intervention program. She received three years of supervision, mandatory Alcoholics Anonymous attendance, an ignition-interlock requirement, and additional court-ordered conditions.

Just days before the June primary, police responded to a domestic incident at the couple’s home. Carty was charged with aggravated assault by strangulation. LaPlaca initially claimed he “literally tried to kill me,” then later recanted in a sworn statement, admitting she had been “under the influence” and made false allegations.

Despite the scandals, LaPlaca still made it onto the Democratic primary ballot, thanks, prosecutors say, to the fraudulent petition. Lumberton Democrats rejected her anyway.
