Provisional Count is now 122, 79 Absentees Found

Here is an article from NJ.com on more absentee ballots being found:

The Hudson County Board of Elections announced yesterday that 79 uncounted absentee ballots were discovered under a desk in the board's office yesterday. Those 79 votes will be counted Friday along with 122 provisional ballots, and those 201 should go a long way in determining who will be the next mayor of Hoboken. For its part, the board insists the ballots were unopened, not tampered with and secure in the county administrative building, which was patrolled by the Hudson County Sheriff's Office.

The article also mentions that 40 of the provisional ballots have been rejected of the 162 submitted mostly because those persons were not registered to vote in Hoboken. That leaves 122 ballots that are deemed good. ◦
