Update # 4: From Hoboken Now:
Well, the absentee ballots have been counted. With the help of absentees, Peter Cammarano won Hoboken's election by 67 vptes. The final vote count, including absentees was 6,043 Cammarano to 5976 to Dawn Zimmer.

But officials are saying it's still too close to call. There are an estimated 100 provisional votes still out there to be counted, which will be counted tomorrow.

Update # 3: A tweet from cityofhoboken:

After receiving the absentee ballots Mayor of #Hoboken is Peter Cammarano, but there are a few votes that are rejected

Update # 2: From NJ.com:

There are 775 absentee ballots, but reportedly 75 of them have been impounded as the counting goes on at the Hudson County Clerk's office in Jersey City.

Updated by Jason - Hoboken is putting out updates via twitter:

The City of #Hoboken, we are still waiting on absentees please be patient we are working closely with the county right now

Those seem like good ward numbers (0.00 / 0)


Check out my 3 paragraph primer on Polywell Fusion.

I am sure the Hudson County Braintrust is smarter than I....

But it seems statistically longshotty (at best) for such a dramatic turn around of votes from the absentee vote add-ons.  A 300+ vote turn around? Out of less than 12,000 votes?

I submit that the statistical odds of something so dramatic are longer than getting struck by lightning indoors.

Its not when you run a targeted vote-by-mail program (0.00 / 0)
as the Cammarano campaign clearly did.
