Five weeks after Election Day, results for some local races are still being finalized, and the process will most likely carry over into the new year with at least one special election.
One local race was decided this week. Westwood had an official recount on Tuesday in a Borough Council race where Republican Anthony Greco was leading by eight votes.
After the recount, Greco picked up one additional vote from a provisional ballot, said Richard Miller, Bergen County Board of Elections chairman. Greco’s vote total is now 2,038.
Democrat Jodi Murphy, an incumbent, trailed Greco with 2,029 votes. Incumbent Cheryl Hodges, a Republican, won her reelection bid with 2,210 votes.
The recount examined all early votes, votes by machine on Nov. 2, mail-in ballots, provisional ballots and early voting provisional ballots.
