NJ's numbers are REALLY low (none / 0) (#9)
In chart A I find only 45 entries for people who were investigated/indicted/convicted, but the US Attorney for NJ claims he's convicted more than 76 since 2002.

Also, some of the designations are off.  Bob Menendez was never a Gubernatorial candidate, Joseph DiVincenzo was an Essex County Freeholder (there are no Newark Freeholders), etc.

Answer from Dr. Shields: (none / 0) (#10)
You can be convicted for public corruption and not be an "elected official or candidate." That's how the U.S. attorney inflates the numbers, for example, a bribed politician and the briber count as two public corruption convictions.
