Whether it's the presidential election, or fear Sandy-related issues would cause problems, many voted Tuesday (and even earlier).
While a presidential election year historically brings more people to the polls, several poll workers Tuesday morning in this area said they were seeing even higher than usual turnouts. Gene Ferrari, a poll worker at the Morris Township Municipal Building, said one-third of all eligible voters in several districts had already cast their ballots by noon. In District 8, that had been 200 out of 671, in District 9 it was 237 out of 642. "That's a big turnout," he said. "We usually don't get much more than 10 percent [the whole day]." A Republican-dominated municipality, Ferrari said a strong anti-President Obama sentiment might be getting more folks out to vote. Over in Morristown, one of Morris County's few Democratic strongholds, Joyce …

Polling places could be moved, voters can still cast their ballot in person at county offices.
Oh, that's right. There's an election happening in less than a week. With everything not related to Hurricane Sandy and its impacts pretty much taking a back seat this week, many probably weren't thinking about Election Day. As the community continues its recovery efforts, contingency plans are underway to make sure everyone can vote on Nov. 6. In Morris Township, a contingency plan is underway to have voting stations ready to go on Tuesday. Tim Quinn, the township's business administrator, noted voting booths can operate on batteries for up to 24 hours. Still, he said, it is preferred that they have full power, as well. The township's Office of Emergency Management will provide generator power to voting locations still in the dark, Quinn …

To the Editor: On Nov. 6, New Jersey voters will be asked to approve the first major investment in New Jersey college facilities in 24 years. The Building Our Future Bond Act, which will be on the ballot as "Question 1," would provide $750 million in capital improvements for academic and research facilities at the state’s 49 colleges and universities. The funds would be targeted for academic buildings and could not be used to construct sports facilities or dormitories. Also, each college is required to match the funds they receive by 25 percent. This investment will help prepare New Jersey students for the global marketplace; attract businesses, innovators and entrepreneurs; and power the state’s economy by creating construction jobs. New …

Almost 1 in 5 districts statewide has already eliminated the April vote.
Voters in six Morris County municipalities—so far—have lost one opportunity to participate in the democratic process. Less than two weeks after Gov. Chris Christie gave them the option, 106 school districts have jumped at the chance to jettison the annual public vote on the school budget and move the vote on board of education candidates to November, alongside the election for political seats ranging from town council to, this year, president of the United States. That represents almost 20 percent of the state’s districts. In Morris County, as of last Friday, the ranks included Butler, Parsippany, Boonton, Florham Park, Lincoln Park and Randolph, according to the New Jersey School Boards Association. More are expected to follow suit. This …

All four wards in Morristown are in play this Election Day, as voters take to the polls from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 8.

In Ward 2, Democratic incumbent Raline Smith-Reid is being challenged by Republican Naveen Nadipuram, a political newcomer. In Ward 3, Democrat Stefan Armington–who defeated Democratic incumbent James E. Smith in the June primaries–is being challenged by Republican Ed Ramirez.
