They also split their votes among two teams and four solo campaigners in a wholesale changeover of their municipal leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Voters in two of Belleville&#8217;s four wards favored independent candidates, preventing &#8220;A Better Belleville&#8221; sweep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following figures &#8211; posted at 10:01 p.m. Tuesday by Essex County Clerk Christopher Durkin&#8217;s Election Division office in Newark &#8211; remain unofficial until May 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Clerk&#8217;s Election Division office and the Essex County Board of Elections withhold election certification for two weeks to allow time for two reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fortnight traditionally allows time for any election challenges and recounts. The other reason is to allow the counting of provisional ballots and, before 4 p.m. May 17, Vote By Mail Ballots that have been postmarked or dropped off before 8 p.m. May 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The returns so far show that 17,934 voters among the five municipalities &#8211; from a registered pool of 137,077 &#8211; participated. The actual voters to the voter pool percentage comes out to 13.08 percent among the five towns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The participation rate had dropped from the May 10, 2016 municipal elections&#8217; 14.50 percent. 17,293 voters from a pool of 119,243 took part then. (2020&#8217;s results, due to COVID exposure concerns adding the otherwise April school board elections to the ballot, were not used for comparison.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only two of the county&#8217;s 138 voting machines among the five towns&#8217; polling stations reported by 10 p.m. Tuesday. (No reason was given on why the two machines were not used as of press time.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A majority of participating ORANGE voters granted Mayor Dwayne D. Warren a fourth consecutive term. The &#8220;Moving Orange Forward&#8221; ticket head received 1,508 votes for 56.17 percent of the vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">West Ward Councilwoman and &#8220;A Voice for Orange&#8221; campaigner Quantavia L Hilbert carried 995 votes for 17.18 percent. Former Council President April Gaunt-Butler, running on her own &#8220;Community Continuity and Commitment&#8221; banner, garnered 178 votes or 6.65 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warren&#8217;s three incumbent at-large council members also saw success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adrienne Wooten was the night&#8217;s top vote-getter at 1,722 or 33.78. Voters placed Weldon M. &#8220;Monty&#8221; Montague IIII second at 1,704 or 33.34 and Clifford Ross third with 1,671 or 32.78.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How current Orange Board of Education member Derrick Henry&#8217;s write-in campaign fared is not officially known. The County Clerk&#8217;s Election Night Reporting postings stopped carrying write-in votes since changing software vendors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MONTCLAIR voters chose former Fourth Ward Councilwoman Dr. Renee E.&nbsp; Baskerville as the township&#8217;s first African American woman mayor. Her &#8220;Together Montclair&#8221; team, however, received two of the six Township Council seats up for grabs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baskerville, whose doctor&#8217;s office is in East Orange, drew 3,334 votes or 52.31 percent. &#8220;Change That Works&#8221; campaigner attorney Chrissy M. Thomas tallied 3,039 votes or 47.69 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Baskerville risked losing her council seat in vying for Mayor against Sean Spiller in 2020 &#8211; and lost by 156 votes. Montclair, like Newark, holds &#8220;all at once&#8221; mayor-council elections every four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spiller, however, decided not to run for re-election earlier this year. Most of the other council incumbents chose or had pledged not to run again, leaving At-Large Councilman Robert J. &#8220;Bob&#8221; Russo to pursue re-election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>At Large Council (Pick Two)<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Russo &#8211; after two decades as councilman, Mayor or Deputy Mayor &#8211; found himself on the outside looking in after 8 p.m. Tuesday. The &#8220;Montclair Good Government Team&#8221; leader got 3,299 votes, or 30.42 percent, for third place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Team Montclair&#8217;s&#8221; Susan Shin Anderson amassed 3,863 or 35.62 33.95 for the first at-large seat. Carmel Loughman on the &#8220;MGG Team&#8221; earned 3,682 or 33.95, got the other at-large seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Ward Council<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the First Ward Council race, &#8220;Clean Government Advocate&#8221; soloist Erik D&#8217;Amato won the seat with 1,051 or 59.75. &#8220;Team Montclair&#8221; runner Shivaun Gaines gained 708 votes or 40.25 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Second Ward seat went to Eileen Birmingham. The &#8220;Genuinely Cares.&#8221; campaigner carried 1,369 or 72.74. &#8220;MGGT&#8221; runner Ilmar Vanderer got 526 or 27.76.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;TM&#8221; running mate Rahun Williams won the Third Ward seat, outdrawing the other ticket slate and an independent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Williams won 551 votes or 44.02. &#8220;MGGT&#8221; member Roddy Moore mustered 472 or 39.56. Wendy A. Tiburico, of &#8220;A New Perspective \/ Una Nueva Perspectiva&#8221; tallied 201 or 16.42.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Aminah Toler won the Fourth Ward seat over two other independents. Toler&#8217;s total, as of 10:01 p.m. Tuesday, is 594 or 32.16. Zina Floyd, &#8220;As One We Win,&#8221; at 481 or 34.14, placed second. Former Essex County Prosecutor Patricia A. Hurt, &#8220;Time for a Change,&#8221; rounded out the balloted field with334 or 23.70.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Neither Baskerville&#8217;s &#8220;TM&#8221; nor Russo&#8217;s &#8220;MGGT&#8221; platform fielded a candidate here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In IRVINGTON, a majority of voters returned Mayor Anthony &#8220;Tony&#8221; Vauss&#8217; TIS incumbents over three Ward Seat challengers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">North Ward voters validated Orlando Glen Vick&#8217;s new term with 396 or 80.32. &#8220;North Ward United Progress Ignited,&#8221; soloist Yasmin Jones received 87 or 19.68.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Ward returned Jamillah Z. Beasley with 396 or 93.30. Challenger &#8220;Team New Irvington South Ward&#8221; Danouchka Desir. got 27 votes for 6.70 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">East Ward voters kept Dr. October Hudley on council call with 253 or 62.56. Yasmina King, of &#8220;East Ward Your Voice Our Mission,&#8221; carried 158 or 38.44.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The West Ward council election, barring any write-in submissions, was literally &#8220;One Man, One Vote.&#8221; Incumbent Vernon Cox got all 294 votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BELLEVILLE&#8217;s Council Ward elections, depending on whether one sides with Mayor Michale Melham&#8217;s &#8220;A Better Belleville&#8221; team or one of the two successful independent candidates, may be seen as a glass half-full or half-empty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the First Ward, voters selected &#8220;Believe in Belleville&#8221; candidate Tracy Juanita Williams over &#8220;ABB&#8221; runner Patricia Inaugurato to succeed the late Marie Strumolo-Burke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Williams, who was endorsed by Strumolo-Burke, won 286 or 60.72 percent Belleville Planning Board President Inaugurato drew 185 or 29.28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Second Ward, enough voters believed in Frank Velez&#8217;s &#8220;Believe in Belleville.&#8221; platform to grant them their council seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Velez mastered 519 or 54.40 percent of the vote. &#8220;ABB&#8221; member Victor D. Mesce was second at 388 or 40.67. Gary Hinton, who is &#8220;For a Better Belleville&#8221;, tallied 47 or 4.93.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Third Ward election was another &#8220;One Man, One Vote.&#8221; Incumbent Vincent Cozzarelli carried all 190. Although Cozzarelli has sided with ABB, he did not so identify himself on his ballot place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fourth Ward voters backed &#8220;ABB&#8221; running mate Diana Sorice Guardabasco over former Board of Education Trustee Michael J. Sheldon. Guardabasco garnered.307 or 66.74. Sheldon, &#8220;A True Fighter for Belleville,&#8221; mustered 153 or 33.26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NUTLEY voters returned all five commissioners &#8211; and may have unofficially selected the township&#8217;s mayor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">John V. Kelly III, &#8220;Bringing Nutley Values to Future Generations,&#8221; was May 14&#8217;s top vote-getter at 3,120 or 17.32. Kelly may become Nutley&#8217;s next mayor July 1 since the Board of Commissioners, like in Maplewood, tend to select a mayor based on the most popular votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alphonse &#8220;Al&#8221; Petracco, &#8220;Honesty Integrity Experience,&#8221; placed second at 2,972 or 15.60. Current Mayor Dr. Joseph P. Scarpelli, Jr., &#8220;Dr. Joe 2024.&#8221; placed third at 2,896 or 16.50.&nbsp; Thomas J. Evans, &#8220;CPA Right Person in Right Role,&#8221; was next at 2,534 or 14.06.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2020-22 Mayor Mauro G. Tucci, &#8220;Strong Proven Leader,&#8221; tallied 2,854 or 15.84. He and Scarpelli agreed to trade the Mayor&#8217;s seat June 30, 2022 after voters gave them the same tallies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Challenger Maria Hamlin, &#8220;Together We Can.&#8221; carried 2,365 or 13.13. Dr. Lorenzo Marchese, Jr., &#8220;DOC Larry Dedicated Organized Committed,&#8221; rounded out the field at 1,276 or 7.08.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCUMBENTS WIN MOST OF OTHER LOCAL ELECTIONS BY WALTER ELLIOTT ORANGE &#8211; A majority of participating registered voters here and in Irvington, Montclair, Belleville and Nutley returned most &#8211; but not all &#8211; incumbents to their public offices in May 14&#8217;s nonpartisan municipal elections.
