Hoboken Gets Second Chance: Vote Today

New Jersey is one of the few states that sends voters to the polls so frequently. With our governor and legislature elected in odd years and Federal officers elected in even years, there is a general election every year. And a primary.

And then there are school board elections in April. And of course, since that isn't enough, May municipal elections like those in Hoboken and Jersey City. And since our founding fathers wanted to squeeze just one more election into the year, they gave us the Run Off election, by demanding a candidate win at least a majority of the votes.

Hoboken voters had a large field of candidates to choose from four weeks ago when they narrowed it down to two: Mayor David Roberts and Councilwoman Carol Marsh. The only thing we are endorsing in this election is voting. But if you want to vote, find your polling place and do so before 8pm.
