Politics
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

the Primary, see "Another
Contentious Primary."
