Hoboken's biggest website exposing corruption and bad pols
The rumored war going on in the back of the fourth ward turns out not to have been a rumor after all. The battle of VBMs as it turns out was almost even at election’s end. In unofficial tallies, the VBM totals are released with the votes on the machines.
Here’s how the out of proportion fourth ward broke down its 397 Vote by Mail ballots.
Raia Mason Ticket: (Occhipinti) 176
Assemblyman Ruben Ramos: 171
Mayor Dawn Zimmer: 44

Talking Ed Note: Da Horsey is proud to be a member of the Reform movement with so many great people of this City from all walks of life, whether Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, etc.
It is truly an honor to have met and worked with so many of you these past four plus years. Yesterday MSV set a new record with almost 15,000 visits. Thank you as always for your time, consideration and support.
For now, good night and good luck.
Published originally at full gallop on the back streets of Hoboken.
Crowd of almost two dozen, all minority residents at the Raia civic.
Someone who looked like Jamie Cryan arrived on scene went inside.
Crowd is waiting, going in one on one as if they are meeting “the Godfather.”
The game plan apparently is for each individual to be brought in and told to sign an affidavit saying they worked for the campaign as was similarly stated by the 2010 Communications Manager for the Tim Occhipinti campaign David Cruz.
Yes boys and girls, it’s that time. At 7:00 the Hoboken City Council follies will commence and already the worst is being expected of the Hoboken Sopranos. Da Horsey is mighty tired from the election and the blow out party Reform hosted at the Village Pourhouse.
For those of you who are not as exhausted, well here’s the agenda. Some people are already talking as if it’s a given the ugly attack on Councilwoman Jen Giattino and her family who were displaced by Hurricane Sandy will continue.
Breaking: Several hundred provisionals to be evaluated and counted Friday.
The new tallies according to some informed sources indicate the Rent Control Question looks to have reversed into a “yes” NO! with 80 99 votes ahead awaiting provisional ballots.
It’s not clear how many provisionals are outstanding but it will take a couple of days to verify each.
Correction: MSV had this reversed and yes it’s been going back and forth. With sincere apologies:
A little sidebar from the election results last night.
Mayor Dawn Zimmer won the fourth ward with 824 votes.
Ruben Ramos came in a close second with 823 votes.
Timmy Occhipinti came in a distant last with 300 votes.
Correction: These figures may not include VBMs otherwise known here as The Devil.
(Wonder how many of Timmy’s “votes” were Vote by Mail votes?)
Who is the current occupant of the fourth ward council seat again? Just say’in.
Talking Ed Note: Has anyone heard a public word from Timmy?
Perhaps Assemblyman Ramos can have someone call and teach him some manners.
