ATLANTIC CITY — Atlantic City Councilman Marty Small said he told a campaign worker who was secretly recording conversations with him that his 2009 mayoral campaign was to be "open, honest and above board."

Small and 11 others are on trial on voter fraud and other charges relating to Atlantic City's 2009 mayoral primary in which Small was trounced by incumbent Lorenzo Langford.

The defendants are accused of tampering with or manipulating absentee ballots designed for voters too sick or frail to make it to the polls.

Everything is relative. This is, after all, New Jersey.

Update: Small was acquitted by a jury of his peers who have evidently been beaten into submission.
