A disgraced ex-New Jersey mayor — who was busted for driving drunk with her toddler in the car — and her husband allegedly forged supporters’ signatures to get her name on the Democratic primary ballot before she lost in a landslide. Lumberton Township Committeewoman Gina LaPlaca and Jason Carty were charged with fraudulently getting the 47-year-old politician on the ballot as part of her reelection bid in the south-central New Jersey municipality, the Burlington County Prosecutor’s Office announced Tuesday. The troublesome couple, who both “collected signatures,” allegedly put people’s names on a nominating petition supporting LaPlaca and signed for them without their consent ahead of the June 3 primary vote.
