Hoboken's biggest website exposing corruption and bad pols
From the desk of Councilman Peter Cunningham:
We won!! 53% of the vote stepped out and supported us for re-election
to the City Council – 5th Ward!! While it is late folks, I cannot go
to bed without thanking all those that helped make this happen. First,
thanks to my wife and children, Blueline and especially Robin Brown,
our volunteers, and the residents of the fifth ward for their undying
support.
Thanks, Peter

MSV has just learned Tom Greaney is now within ten votes of forcing a runoff. What he thought appeared to be a loss is now completely in question. There are unknown provisional ballots to tally before this race can be called.
The constant challenge refrain from the Old Guard especially Beth Mason’s challengers may now in fact backfire. By forcing people to show a utility bill or similar to vote now puts Beth Mason’s win completely in question. All those people challenged for nothing but spite will now see their votes evaluated in determining a runoff.
Back soon – pandemonium
That Jen Girl Giattino took the 6th ward just earlier.
It appears she won each voting district outright.
Peter Cunningham has taken down three opponents to win the 5th ward outright.
There will be no runoff in the 5th.
Reform will assume control of the City Council!!
In the 2nd Tom Greaney has lost in a four way race and has apparently conceded.
Beth Mason has squeaked by with just over 51% of the vote. People will question Franz Peatzhold as his vote was the difference. Mason avoided a runoff with Greaney by a mere 22 votes.
A reader notes there is lots of challenging going on in the 4-2. The MSV poster is correct.
An onsite report states:
“but they are trying to stop the voters based on nothing….contesting via returned mail……but the votes are counting……”
Word is Beth Mason’s minion is in the middle of the vile voter harassment.
Wot a shock! Not.
In Marine View, voting is smooth and challengers are cooperative. But of course there is no rat fink minion here.
There have been several minor problems, but nothing beyond that.
Word is in there are problems in the 4-3 and it’s the seniors that are running amok. They have already cast their votes by mail and are showing up and now trying to vote on the machines.
There was unconfirmed stories of this occurring during the November special election. Although MSV can not double source this information at this time, the information rings true and is obviously not due to forgetfulness but part of an orchestrated plan. It probably worked very well last time.
Call it Frank’s early bird special. Way to go Tim!
On the streets of the 6th ward, the presence for Jen Giattino’s Hoboken native volunteers are making a very strong presence.
In Marine View, the tally is 263 and a trickle is coming in but 333 River is expected to weigh in more later after 6:00. We’re seeing cross generational lines of families voting, elderly who are voting wheeled in with help.
The Mayor issued a twitter asking for people to come out and get friends and family to vote as the races look close citywide.
There’s interference rumored out of the 4-2 by some people who are not suppose to be interfering for Occhipinti. Will try to clarify with something more concrete. 4-2 is cornerstone of Reform’s vote in the 4th ward. The Beth Mason minion is also there to again lend support to Tim Occhipinti who submitted 500 paper ballots in the special election last November.
A reliable source says Perry Klaussen the uber smear merchant in service to Beth Mason is involved in another illegal action – the second in only 24 hours!
This time theft wasn’t involved but more of his typical bad public behavior – verbally assaulting an elected official in the polling place.
More to come on the latest from Beth Mason’s dirtbag smearmeister king.

A Hoboken Filly says:
“Yes! Spent 6 to 9 AM this morning giddyuppin’ – canvasing on Washington and Fifth.
At least 30 people told me they were voting for Jen. Only 2 individuals who I approached directly told they were voting for Nino….
Waters tested. Looks good!”
A big thank you from Da Horsey.
GO JEN GO!

A reader submits:
“These signs are all over the third ward – some were even posted directly in front of the 10 church towers polling station – some good samaritans who attempted to take them down were threatened by thugs from church towers – perhaps it would be worth getting a statement from russo about why he isn’t getting his campaign workers to tear down all these obviously illegal signs given that he’s claiming that he’s no longer corrupt.”
No doubt the police will be on the scene to assist. Be careful folks and don’t get arrested. As in it will be you!
Marine View has brisk voting but a strong early showing is coming from 333 River and some rebels are evident within the beast. The late rush will come later.
Council members and candidates Terry Castellano and Nino Giachhi stopped by as 1st and 6th wards vote in the location. Castellano is said to be coming back to vote at 10:00 and Tim Occhipinti at 11:00.
Councilwoman Castellano arrived and voted with her husband John.
TURN OUT THE VOTE!
Get over to Willow and 1st and lend a hand.
Da Horsey from within the belly of the beast.
