Fresh from the township clerk, here are the district leader results. There are some holes in the data: Susan B. Joseph ran an independent campaign, but they didn't have her designation on the results. But the big news is that there is a tie among the men in district 16, between Craig F. Miller and Kevin Harris. I don't know how such things are handled.

17 | Maplewood Democrats | 22 | Essex County Democratic Committee, Inc. | 1 | Tom Paine Democratic Common Sense | 1 | (independent) | 1 | currently a tie | Essex County Democratic Committee has a slim majority no matter what happens with the tie or with whom the independents vote. But they'll need discipline. |

My congratulations to the gal who won as an independent in District 1. Her saga was discussed on another thread prior to the election. Major reprecussions in District 22. Looks like Mary voted for Nick and Nick did not vote for Mary!!!!!! |

It appears that the tied election will be decided by the rest of the district leaders Monday night, so we know how that one will go:
23 | Essex County Democratic Committee, Inc. | 17 | Maplewood Democrats | 1 | Tom Paine Democratic Common Sense | 1 | (independent) |

mrmaplewood007, I understood Mr. Seltzer's post as referring to the fact that I ran independently of the other groups of Democrats who ran for district leader positions in the Democratic primary.

I don't see any point in getting too hung up on definitions. It's clear what I meant. I never heard officially what happened in district 16, but unoficially I heard it didn't go the way I expected, and perhaps some deal was made. |

right you ran with out any affiliation. I trust you are a democrat(or at least a registered democrat) or you could not run in the primary for democratic county committee. Independents run in November and not for county committee.

mrmaplewood007, in order to run for a position as a member of the Essex County Democratic Committee, one must be a registered Democrat. I am a lifelong Democrat, in terms of both voter registration and self-identification. |

mrmaplewood007, you are correct in that a registered but unaffiliated voter can decide on the date of the primary to declare a party affiliation and vote in that party's primary, but that wouldn't work for a candidate because a petition must be filed well before the primary to run for office, and the office seeker must be eliglble to run for the position, in this case needing to be a registered Democrat. If you'd like any more information, feel free to send me a private message. |

wrong. You missunderstood. Person can run a write in campaign. I will explain it in the most basic,easiest way to understand. No one is running for district leader on the male republican side in east Orange west ward 2nd district Rocco is new to East Orange from Arkansas and has never ever voted in a primary in NJ and also has never filed a decleration of party affiliation in nj.He is though a registered voter at his current address in East orange. He walks into the polling place tells the worker he wants to vote in the republican primary he is allowed.He than writes in his name "ROCCO" for Male republican district leader. He gets the only vote and is declared the winner.Blowing your theory to smitherens.Go back and check my post I said a write in campaign. Dude trust me I know my stuff. By the way winning off the line is no small feet.Congrats.

mrmaplewood007, I was talking about running on the ballot, not addressing a write-in situation, which I suppose could happen if there is little interest in or competition for a district leader seat. That hasn't been my experience in Maplewood. |

That hasn't been my experience in Maplewood. on the democratic side at least. Didn't your opponent once run for twp committee on the republican side. Aquaman who cares it's a message board. By the way you Vince Chase wanna be I was RIGHT. So go back and play in your bath tub. BTW who asked you anyway. |

mrmaplewood007, I think I'm generous in dismissing your scenario as an "edge case" assuming it's even accurate. As a practical matter, voting or running for office in a party primary affiliates you with that party. |

LS And declaring yourself at the polls on primary day and voting for yourself also affiliates yourself with that party. and again independents do not run in primaries If you are going to dismiss write in votes for county committe you better first ask Gerry Ryan about that one. |

Miss GSP: Correct me if I am wrong. Some of this is pure conjecture on my part You wanted to run on the organizations line using the organizations slogan.The slogan I beleive is Essex County Democratic Committee.Miss Marzano wanted to run with the same slogan and for whatever reason was granted it. You than refused to run on the Humer-Deluca line for whatever reason or you were never asked to run on that line. You than ran with a slogan called "Grass roots Democrats" you were placed on like the D or E line.People really had to look hard to find your name. You defeated former republican Miss Marzano, by a nice amount. You are now a independent democrat in the sense that if the team's are the "Fred's" against the "David's" you are beholding to neither. Well done and sorry about any ill will.

"Interesting, very interesting", I said as I parted the palms and observed the workings of the local Democratic party. I would add that if Mr. Maplewood is correct the DeLucaites choose not to run a candidate against GSP and that the Profetanista candidate is the wife, significant other or whatever of another former GOPer who previously was a District Leader. I wonder who GSP voted for in the Chairman election, Ian or Cecila? |

Bob K, you're slipping now that you've moved to the rarified air of West Orange, since I think you left something out. I believe Ms. Marzano, to whom you were referring, was a Republican candidate for Township Committee a few years ago. |

mrmaplewood007, concerning your characterization of what you think went on with my candidacy, some of it is definitely conjecture on your part, and some of it is incorrect, too, although you are correct about the former political affiliation of my opponent. I hope you, and Bob K, and others, understand that I feel it is extremely inappropriate to go into detail about the situation on-line, and I won't do it. There are other people involved, folks that I respect and continue to work with as District Leader, thanks to the voters in District 1. So, please send me a private message if you have further questions.

Gsp What we know to be fact is that your request originally was to run with the slogan that ended up being granted to Miss Marzano. That you ran and won under the slogan grass roots democrat. That Deluca-Huemer chose or could not find a female to run in district 1 on their line. Finally that Frances Mcquade chose not to come out of retirement and run as the male in district 1. Anyone can make their own suppositions based on the events that took place but what is stated above is 100 percent factual. Again great job.

Mr Seltzer GSP in her bid for County Committee was not affiliated officially with any other group.She was on her own line all by her lonesome.It's her business if there was a wink wink deal with Dehuemer. I would imagine that longtime democrats did not take to kindly to Miss Marzano's fliping and it showed in the results. Again everyone knows the whole election was Fred VS Dave for mayor in 07 and the rest is all secondary. |

Nohero, actually I remembered. I also remember a brutal working over she received at the hands of some of the Democrats on womens right to choose, even though she is pro choice. People change. It is rumored that even the skate board queen and former TC candidate for the GOP is now registered as a Democrat. |

(listen bob, just because i sat within a blankets throw of FP at the fourth of july fireworks -i was there first btw - doesn't make me a democrat.) now, go thence forth into the kingdom and warn the minions that their lies and treachery won't be tolerated, then enjoy the music and machinations of maplewoodstock! your queen and savior, marie the merry skateboard queen of springfield avenue

Bob K, as Marie's one true democratic friend and avid supporter of all non-political things she does, I will attest that you have no idea where Marie's property lines begin and end, nor where Marie's political affiliations begin and end. If you did, you would never have posted what you did. But on to more important things. I'm waiting to hear the Bob K West Orange Whatchamacallit Witticisms and learn about how the Cody, McKeon duo make things more or less interesting up in the Western Orange. |

If you have to ask mrmaplewood then you clearly don't know your recent history. Pontificate (wrongly, imo) all you want about the past primary but you know what they say about those who don't know history. Once you find out, come back and play with the big kids. |

I think Mr. Maplewood could use some help with punctuation and spelling. I am hereby giving him a supply of commas and capital letters that he seems to be lacking: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ABCDEFGHIJLKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Also, looking at his earlier posts, he could use some spaces as well: There, that should help him make his posts more literate.
