Occhipinti holds slight lead on machine, anticipated to rake in VBM

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

Tim Occhipinti leads on the machine vote 841 to 791.

Here are the unconfirmed totals from the machines:

4-1 223 ML 191 TO

4-2 445 ML 184 TO

4-3 102 ML 172 TO

4-4 21 ML 292 TO

With a small lead on the machine vote but anticipated to have a substantial number in the vote by mail paper ballots of the 512 confirmed, even a strong challenge by the Lenz for Council campaign is not anticipated to reverse the course.

MSV will try to get some updated figures tonight after the challenges are complete.

As of 10:10, there is no report on the vote by mail.  Tim Occhipinti is declaring victory although Mike Lenz has not conceded the election.  
(See he knew all along what those paper ballots said.) Read More...

It’s the machines versus the paper factory express!

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

Updated: 8:05

First update since this afternoon and we are seeing some significant turnout numbers.
These are only the machine numbers we are getting up to the early evening with a full hour or more to go!

4-1  418
4-2  650?? ***
4-3  289
4-4  320 ?

(The above numbers are preliminary and subject to confirmation and a final tally by the Hudson Board of Elections.)

At this rate if the 4-2 comes in near 600, there’s going to be some positive feeling on the reform side.  But the big question mark looming is the unprecedented amount of paper ballot votes – re: vote by mail.  Of more than 600, it’s expected to be heavily lopsided for the Tim Occhipinti paper factory express.

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

A report came in a fourth ward resident saw Beth Mason with Tim Occhipinti and went over to her and hit with a straight one liner – “I’m so disappointed in you.”

A surprised Beth Mason replied, “Excuse me.”  The conversation ended there as the person had other family considerations. Read More...

Illegal car campaigning near polling station @ 220 Adams in the 4th ward

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

Put this one in the it could have been worse file but it’s notable for the continuing pattern emerging over this last day and in this fourth ward campaign overall.  A young mother supportive of the Lenz campaign was on her way to vote and came across a vehicle with signs all over it spouting Occhipinti every which way.  The car was parked well within the 100 feet of a polling station, an activity in and of itself considered electioneering and therefore illegal.

Ooops did we use that word illegal again in connection to the Occhipinti campaign?
Yes, you may think it’s a conspiracy but it’s just how they roll. Read More...

Gristy lunchtime chewables on the 4th ward election

by SmartyJones1 Min Reading

Hoboken’s fourth ward election thought to be on the lower side of turnout since there’s no larger local and statewide runs driving interest looks surprising strong early in a key battleground demographic.

In the 4-2, considered the home base of Mayor Dawn Zimmer, a strong early morning turnout is evident.  Typically the 4-2 has a preponderance of its vote in the evening.  A strong morning turnout may indicate there’s strong awareness of the special election among voters. Read More...
