Letter: Westfield Democratic Committee Vice-Chair Thanks Volunteers

After all ballots tallied, President Barack Obama has won in Westfield.

I am very pleased to let the readers know that the final election returns for Westfield for the presidential race have been obtained. President Obama won in Westfield.    That's right!  This is contrary to the reporting on election night, when only the machine cast ballots were counted. When the provisional ballots and the mail-in ballots were counted as well, the tally was President Obama 8080 and Mitt Romney 7555.  Many people volunteered their time to contribute to this victory for President Obama. They did so under the excellent, steadfast, unrelenting co-leadership of Ros Harrison and Marv Gersten. The volunteers will be celebrating at my home this Saturday. (December 15).   A big thank you also goes to the Westfield High School Young…

Barack Obama Wins New Jersey

Voters in New Jersey on Tuesday cast their ballot for Barack Obama, giving him the state's 14 electoral votes.

Barack Obama won New Jersey’s 14 electoral votes on Tuesday, defeating Republican Mitt Romney. In the 2008 presidential election, the state voted for the Democratic candidate, and since the 1990s has voted for the overall winner of the presidential race 3 out of 5 times. Romney and Obama did not campaign aggressively in New Jersey. The state has typically been a Democratic stronghold in recent presidential elections.

A roadside plea for Romney.

Presidential politics got a lot more plaintiff and visible in Springfield earlier this month when the sign for the former site of Disco electronics became a request for God to intervene in the 2012 elections on behalf of presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.
