Court Invalidates Votes for Reid; Support Urged for Marsan
Superior Court Judge Robert C. Wilson ruled on May 23 that votes for deceased Democratic County Committee Candidate Wallace Reid should not be counted in the June 3 Primary Election. Reid, running for reelection in Englewood Ward One, District One, died more than three days after the filing period ended. He had been endorsed by Real Bergen Democrats, who are requesting 1-1 Democrats (whose polling place is the Englewood Public Library) to write in the name of Earl Marsan instead. Dr. Marsan is a retired dentist, a former City Council candidate, and long-time member of the Englewood Board of Health. For information on the write-in procedure, contact the other 1-1 County Committee member, Sandra Slipp, at 201-569-7199 or sandyslipp@aol.com.  For our views on the Primary, see "Another Contentious Primary."
