 Mayor Jerramiah Healy is re-elected as Jersey City Mayor after getting more than 52% of the 30,000+ votes from yesterday’s elections. Second in the poll was Lou Manzo, who only garnered 26% of the votes, and was disappointed by the low turnout. Would it make a big difference for Manzo if more people showed up yesterday?

Are there more volunteers out there than voters? Have you voted already? If you haven’t cast your vote yet, you still have a few hours left, as Polls will closed at 8PM tonight.
A few election incidents made the news today. This morning, there was a confusion at a polling location on Sip Avenue in JSQ area. At Public School 24 on Kennedy Boulevard, a poll worker, Karama Ball, was kicked out for using a cellphone, which is strictly forbidden inside the location.
