River Vale NJ, Assemblywoman Holly Schepisi , “Bergen County folks….many of our local races are pretty much all still up for grabs. We won’t know final numbers until next week.
Vote counters in Bergen County had tallied ballots only through Nov. 1 as of election night, with tens of thousands received Monday and Tuesday yet to be tallied, leaving many local races in limbo.
When the first set of unofficial totals for the county were released Tuesday night, about 377,000 ballots had been included, according to the county website. Those numbers reflected only ballots received through Sunday and a small number of Monday ballots, said Jamie Sheehan-Willis, chairwoman of the Bergen County Board of Elections. She said the county had received an estimated 451,000 ballots before Election Day. She expected that number to be much higher when the ballots submitted via drop box on Tuesday were included.”

Hackensack NJ, From Bergen County Board of Elections Chair, Jamie Sheehan-Willis:
I’ve seen so much misinformation on social media about Mail In Ballots, Provisional Ballots and the November Election. I wanted to clear some things up. I’m not interested in arguing about whether the Governor’s actions were right or wrong (if you know me, you know where I stand). I have a job to do as the Chairwoman of the Bergen County Board of Elections, so I must follow the Governor’s orders.
Bergen County certified the July 7th Primary on time, July 24th. While this might not seem like a big deal, it is. We received more ballots than any other county in the state – close to 150,000 MIB and Provisionals. Our previous record was 70,000 in 2018 (think Sheriff’s race/second ballot sent to MIB voters). Bergen was held up as a model to the other counties in the state. Seven out of 21 counties – a third of the state!! – could NOT certify on time. ALL with much smaller numbers than Bergen.
