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.

In Search of Five Issues for November

What questions would you like to pose to the Township Committee candidates?

Incumbent Township Committeemen Victor Sordillo and Gary DiNardo aren't facing any challengers in their bids for re-election this fall, so voters aren't likely to see very much campaigning for the municipal seats. But that doesn't mean voters don't have questions they'd like to put to the candidates, or issues they'd like to raise. So we're seeking five issues for Warren voters, and we want your input. Do you want to see the township expand services in some way, or cut services? Do you think the number of municipal employees needs to be adjusted? Whatever your issue is—or issues are—email Local Editor John Patten and we'll find the top five issues in this year's campaign.
