Recount drops Roselle councilwoman's margin from three to two
The margin of victory in the Democratic primary for Roselle Borough Council has dropped from three votes to two after a court-ordered recount was conducted today.
Incumbent Denis Wilkerson now leads 1,496 to 1,494 for her opponent, Cynthia Johnson.
The Union County Board of Elections conducted a hand count of 637 vote-by-mail ballots, 44 provisional ballots, and 155 ballot cards. Additionally, the results of 63 voting machines from the at-large race were reloaded and compared to the results after a July 16 recheck.
Now, Johnson and her attorney, Alyssa Zara of King Moench, are expected to challenge the final results of the election in court.
