I was unopposed - but was out knocking on doors Sunday, Monday and today.

In the meantime- its deathly quiet in Hunterdon County - everyone is inside because of the smoke.

Eerie election day.

may be the result of mail in and early voters.
I know that when I went to vote at 4:30PM there were only 20 people who voted at my district.
I also know that people that I spoke with said that they voted by mail or early voting.
Most of the Democratic candidates ran opposed - one was challenged, but the challenger was represented in two counties - strange for a freeholder position.
