Due to Hurricane Sandy, the state is allowing displaced residents to vote by email or by fax. Here's how the process works: The resident contacts the county clerk in their county of residence and requests a mail-in ballot application. The clerk then emails/faxes the application to the voter, the voter fills it out and sends it back. Once the clerk has verified the application, they'll send the voter a ballot, which the voter will fill out—along with a "waiver of secrecy"—and then email/fax back to the clerk, at which point the ballot will be printed and counted. 

And lastly, displaced voters may also vote by provisional ballot at any polling place in the state. If a voter casts a ballot in a county other than the voter's county of registration, the Board of Election will deliver the ballot to the commissioner of registration in the voter's county of registration.

Im voting Newcomer, Napolitano, and Sattinger. All three impressed me to no end and deserve better than how they were treated. Split ticket but I think strong candidates.

No one deserves anything. It is earned through experience and qualifications not textbooks. Based on what I have come across, there is no blue or red ticket that makes sense. Voting for Newcomer, Sattinger and Palko and Moye, Ruccolo and Sawin.

Are you kidding me?

I really hope Moorestown voters use their brains this election and do not put a 19 year old (Pugh) on the school board. The Schools are our Crown Jewel, the budget is 3 times that of town council. There are 5 other people running that are eminently more qualified than a 19 year old kid who never went to college. Does he even have a job? Has he ever hired or fired anyone? Has he ever run a budget?

The problem is that he is in column 2 and is masquerading as a republican. Brilliant campaign strategy that unfortunately might work with straight- pull voters.

I'm with you here, as a fairly recent student, I can appreciate the unique context he may have on some topics, but that is a far cry from the experience necessary to effective conduct school business. BoE is a little too consequential for getting one's feet wet in public office. I do admire the drive and ambition, just not for a placement with such impact.

Couldn't disagree with you more. Pugh ran a better campaign than all the other candidates combined. He will be a great addition to the BOE!

@ Observer. yes. He did run a very good campaign. He put things voters want to hear like "Fiscal Conservative" and "Experienced"- Experienced at what?

But.... can he run the school? What kind of expereince does he have with budgets, negotiations, curriculum, etc.

He would be a good campaign manager for someone, but does he have the thick skin and backbone to grapple with this union? I think not.

@ our town- good insight.

You need to stop with this baloni. If you read about him you would have learned that he has already worked for the state and for Homeland Security. Pretty impressive if you ask me. You for some reason don't like him based of his age, you shouldn't vote on age...you should vote on ideas. That is why you can run at 18, because you can. If voters resonate with him he will be elected today. Please stop bashing him because of his age. You haven't mentioned anything about Napolitano on town council who is a young, smart lady. You only focus on Pugh and I'm not sure why. I hope he gets elected along with Napolitano. I think bringing a young voice forward is a good one, not bad.

@Bobby (aka Pugh Campaign Manager) I am not voting for Napolitano either. I am voting for the best people regardless of party.

Did he hire and fire people at the dept of homeland security? Did he balance a budget? Did he do labor negotiations? Did he write his property tax check?

Really? Be honest now.

He got lucky because he is in column 2.

Unfortunate that columns were used at all on the ballot for school board candidates, since the board is clearly supposed to be a non-partisan decision-making body. I happen to think Sawin's credentials make her the most qualified of all the candidates to help provide direction for the Moorestosn school system.

John K, I was thinking that using rows instead of columns would be better. Sawin is very qualified and deserves our vote unlike Obama who was never qualified.

Not sure what your alias means, but based on your comment, I'd say it roughly translates to "Jackass." More precisely, "Racist Jackass." Am I right? Hope Patch is paying attention and pulls down.

I am voting for the most qualified. That would be someone who held a real job before seeking office. You can't expect people without experience to get anything done. On the job training don't cut it.

If you haven't already voted and are typically the type to only vote column 2.....consider Sheryl Sawin in column 1. I venture to say that there is no other as qualified as she....in either column. I am as conservative as one can be, but I know the best candidate when I see her!

@ Hey Nineteen or whatever your real name is,

My critique is not meant to support any candidate, but rather to call attention to your ignorance and blatant hostility in a non-partisan election, which obviously has no value to you. As I have mentioned previously, I normally try to stay out of these pointless arguments but you sir have change my mind.

The funny thing is you had the opportunity to address any candidate at Meet the Candidates night but you would rather hide behind your computer and make accusations not backed by any substance. It is also funny that your account serves the purpose of only critiquing one individual, rather pathetic on your part.

I simply ask you to put your biased opinions and hostility aside, that goes for you and Bobby 29. To be honest I am not sure if I would want someone like you to serve on the school board with this type of attitude, yes it is obvious who your are.

Your fellow resident,
Chris

@Chris..(I'll repeat my post from a few weeks ago) But.. at this time it really doesn't matter.. b/c everyone has voted already... but you never answered my questions.

Again.. Why should I vote for someone on the Boe with less education than any of the hundreds of teachers in the district?

What new ideas does Brandon have? Explain fiscal conservative. What will Brandon bring to the BOE? How can a person who doesn't pay property taxes in Mooorestown reduce my taxes? What are his real motivations?

Will he reduce my taxes?

How can a person who has never been to college lead our district ? Don't we pride ourselves on achievement in this town?

What relevant experience does he bring?

I am all ears...

For starters JR went to college, got a job, earned a living, bought a house, had kids and paid taxes. Qualified maybe not but what about Obama or Adler or any number of people looking for control of our checkbooks? Better safe than sorry

Vote For Gary Johnson

Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson is pulling in 4.5 percent of the popular vote right now. That’s real numbers, not polling.

The numbers come from two small New Hampshire villages, Dixville Notch and Hart’s Location, who voted at midnight this morning. According to the Associated Press, President Barack Obama got 28 votes from the two villages, Mitt Romney got 14, and Johnson got two.
