In the bustling political landscape of Hudson County, finding polling places can be a real headache. All the candidates are scrambling to get voters to the polls, but what happens when the polls are as elusive as a unicorn in New Jersey? Well, that’s the situation we find ourselves in, folks.
The root of the problem lies in the ongoing feud between Brian Stack and Nick Sacco, the mayors of Union City and North Bergen, respectively. These two are like two peas in a pod, except the pod is on fire and they’re hurling insults at each other. Stack decided to throw a curveball by recruiting Larry Wainstein, his longtime rival, to run for the Assembly alongside Gabe Rodriguez. Talk about drama, am I right?
Now, the real kicker is that the dispute ended up in court on Tuesday. The issue at hand is the lack of polling places along River Road, which cuts through several towns in LD-33. Hector and Alonso, on one side of the ring, are demanding more polling sites to accommodate the growing population in the area. But the Hudson County Board of Elections ain’t having it, citing time constraints and budget issues. It’s like a never-ending soap opera, folks.
