But that's still without the 86 provisional ballots counted. Because it takes Middlesex County a day for every 5 ballots to count them apparently. |
The news reported provisional ballots in the state may not be finalized until next week or potentially even after Thanksgiving. How can this happen with everything being so automated? |

So the voters are likely to get a solid person regardless of how this ends up. My only hope is that the groups on each side don’t create problems. I don’t think Mike or Wayne will, but voters today get so vested in their candidate that I hope we don’t see Cranbury have two opposing sides attacking each other and causing problems. |
Agreed. We've had a lot of good years until this year of the TC being pretty nonpartisan and all working well together. It wasn't like that back in the Dave Stout days when he and his coalition, none of whom live here anymore, was high partisan. I would hate to see those days return, in either party direction. |

| Those days(partisan)are here again. Probably much worse. Both sides are very dug in. |

We'll see. Partisan sniping on this forum is not the same thing. In the Stout days every single person appointed to the boards and commissions had to be of his party and he used the majority to totally exclude the minority members from any deliberation or decision making on the TC. When he wanted to buy the current Sweetwater site for a library, he organized a tour for TC members and consciously excluded the member not of his party. He even eventually alienated the most moderate member of the TV from his own party who turned independent as a result. He used his control of the gang of 3 to ignore the tradition of rotating the mayor position to take it multiple years for himself. And he rammed a Babe Ruth Ballfield to nowhere down taxpayers throats with no public support because his daughters played... So far what we have seen in the actual TC meetings hasn't risen to that level of heavy-handed one party control. Hopefully it doesn't get there again. |

| The above poster is right. It is not there yet. But, Indivisble tried to take Jay out twice (once in the primary and again in the general election), they are targeting Glenn and while they cannot control the primary for Dan they can make a push for their candidates. If Dan and Glenn are replaced then the spirit of bipartisanship is likely gone. If they turn against people from their own party, then why would they support a Republican? |

Still nothing from the county?
it's embarrassing to be the resident of such an incompetent county government. Besides the inexcusably slow results, the fact that they aren't clearly communicating with their residents on their website, etc., is just so poor. They've now had over 9 days and counting since the election to review and certify a measly 86 ballots.
Is there any accountability at all for these public employees or are they just cruising along earning their pensions? |

| I agree. I heard it may not be until the 19th or 20th before the 86 votes are counted. |

Did they offer any excuse for that? |

| Why do the freeholders who run the county and are responsible for this mess win in a landslide. |

Yes, they are corrupt. Unfortunately we have a lot of foolish democrats in this county now that are politically unintelligent. |

I am glad you are the politically smart one. But bashing Democrats, of which Jay is one, doesn't help. Unless you are saying Jay is different since he was once a Republican (and let's face it....is still one) |

| It's not a Democrat or Republican thing. It's State politics in general -- it's corrupt to the core and no one is doing anything about it. They can get away with it because voters have shown no resolve to fix it. I have voted against every incumbent Governor in the last 20 years in NJ regardless of party because every single one of them has been awful, so I vote against them rather than for the other candidate. We're forced to accept the lesser evil. And we continue in a downward spiral It's kind of amazing Christie was able to find a new low, perhaps ever anywhere. The state has no quality newspaper to do any real reporting or investigative journalism. And other states have much better rules about providing quality information on the platforms of candidate and ballot initiatives. The polls here don't want voters informed. I bet less than 1% of voters have a clue who any of the Freeholder candidates are in any election. How could they? |

| I heard this morning from Jay that in the final vote count of provisional ballots he and Mike won and Wayne lost. Wayne was very close losing by 11 votes at the end. I think this shows that no one candidate has a mandate and all three were deserving. Less than 100 votes separated all three candidates. |
