New Jersey meeting to decide host of fall election debate stalled by ‘Zoom bomb' flashing racist, antisemitic, pornographic material
A meeting between a New Jersey election committee and multiple venues vying to host the gubernatorial and lieutenant governor debates in the fall was halted after a mystery guest dropped a 'Zoom bomb' including racist, antisemitic and pornographic materials. The New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission held a virtual meeting with nine sponsors to narrow down the host for the gubernatorial general election debates and a singular discussion between the lieutenant governor candidates in the fall. The beginning of the meeting was largely uninterrupted as the ELEC members explained the process and agenda. Advertisement 3 The New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission's meeting held to decide the host of this fall's election debates was spoiled by a troll. AP The first presentation went off without a hitch. The second, led by WABC-TV New York/WPVI-TV Philadelphia/Rutgers Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, was plagued with inexplicable noises including alarms, ringtones and explosions, POLITICO reported. Advertisement The moderators interrupted to try and patch the source of the interruption and instructed anyone with their microphone still on to mute themselves. The grating noises stopped for a moment until one of the hopeful sponsors started to speak again. A series of pornographic images, including one with a Swastika, started to flash across the screen. At the same time, the audio fizzled into a recording of a song that repeated the N-word, according to the outlet. The chaos ensued for just a minute before the meeting was promptly shut down. Advertisement 3 The Zoom bomber flooded the meeting with antisemitic pornographic materials and audio of someone singing the N-word repeatedly. AP ELEC Chair Thomas Prol reached out to the offices of the governor and state attorney general to investigate the 'shocking breach of public trust,' he wrote on LinkedIn. 'They have put their top investigators on the hack that occurred. On behalf of my fellow commissioners and myself, I say this to those responsible: You will not disrupt democracy in New Jersey. We will find you and prosecute you,' Prol wrote. 'My office is aware of the disruption of today's virtual meeting of the Election Law Enforcement Commission, and the incident is being investigated by the Division of Criminal Justice. We will not tolerate any attempts to interfere with our democratic process,' Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin added in a statement obtained by The Post.

Zoom bombing was a phenomenon bred from the COVID-19 pandemic as people across the world suddenly relied on the virtual communication platform to work and go to school. In February 2021, a squadron of Zoom bombers took aim at a New York City Council meeting and flooded the call with a mountain of lewd NSFW smut, including videos of people in the middle of having sex. Other trolls crashed a virtual AA meeting, taunting the recovering addicts by saying 'Alcohol is soooo good.'

New Jersey meeting to decide governor debates interrupted by pornographic and racist ‘Zoom bomb'
During the second presentation, by WABC-TV New York/WPVI-TV Philadelphia/Rutgers Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy, noises like alarms, ringtones and explosions began interrupting the presenters, prompting moderators to tell those who were not meant to be speaking to mute their line multiple times. As Niki Hawkins, the vice president of community engagement and strategic partnerships with WPVI-TV in Philadelphia and Tamala Edwards, the moderator of the channel's politics show, began to speak, pornographic images — one that included a Swastika — then popped up on users' screens. Audio also played a song that repeated the N-word. That lasted about a minute, until the meeting ended. ELEC Chair Thomas Prol wrote in a social media post that he has asked the offices of the governor and state attorney general to investigate what he called a 'shocking breach of public trust.' 'They have put their top investigators on the hack that occurred,' Prol wrote. 'On behalf of my fellow commissioners and myself, I say this to those responsible: You will not disrupt democracy in New Jersey. We will find you and prosecute you.' The meeting will be rescheduled for next Tuesday 'with safeguards in place,' he added. ELEC typically posts its meeting agenda ahead of time and requires the public to register via a Zoom for Government link if they wish to attend. ELEC Deputy Director Joe Donohue said that there have been some minor interruptions at commission meetings in the past, but nothing to this extent. Zoom bombing has become increasingly common as more meetings have been held online in the aftermath of the Covid-19 pandemic. Earlier this year, a virtual event hosted by a progressive group for Newark Mayor Ras Baraka, one of two Black candidates who ran for governor in the Democratic primary, was also Zoom bombed.
