Neptune City Democrats sustained their election victory in a recount requested by the borough’s Republican candidates which was conducted on Monday at the Monmouth County Board of Elections in Freehold.
Allan Roth, Esq, a Democrat Commissioner and the Secretary of the Monmouth County Board of Elections, took it upon himself to tally the interim results of the Howell Township Council election recount on Tuesday night after all the other Commissioners and recount observers had left the building, prompting outraged Howell Republicans to alert Judge Linda Grasso Jones of Roth’s allegedly improper conduct via a letter from Attorney Jason Sena.
