Update 7:40AM 6/10/2009:
NJ.com Hobokenow reported late last night the absentee ballots have been counted. With the help of absentees, Peter Cammarano leads Hoboken's election by 67 votes. The current vote count, including absentees was 6,043 Cammarano to 5,976 to Dawn Zimmer. Provisional ballots have yet to be counted. We should know the the total sometime today but the provisional ballots can't be opened until at least 48 hours after the election which is June 11th. Assuming the absentee ballots disparity of almost 3-1 holds up and provisionals are in the order of the 100 this would appear to mathematically favor Cammarano at this point. Any margin less than 100 would mean a recount. There also still exists the possibility of legal challenges as well in addition to the recount.
I have no official word on the City Council races but given the gap in the machine totals it is very likely that all three of Zimmer's slate are in as City Council. A tentative congratulations goes out to Carol Marsh, Ravi Bhalla, and Dave Mello.
If anything breaks on this I will let you know. Otherwise expect a light blogging period on this site for the next few days so I can get some rest.:)

Here are the Machine totals for the runoff Election today. One district is not yet reporting so the machine numbers could change. As of now Dawn Zimmer is up on the machine count by 244 votes and that does not include the results from 775 absentee ballots or provisional ballots.

The Council margins look good for Carol Marsh, Ravi Bhalla and David Mello. Unless something extremely improbable with the provisionals happens it looks like they safely have the margins to all get in to City Council. Again this is preliminary. Stay tuned for more. I will update from my I phone. Dawn's ticket is having a gathering at the Goldhawk at 10th and Willow that started around 10:15PM.
