Superior Court Judge Thomas Vena this afternoon delayed making a final decision in the case of Montclair Councilwoman Renee Baskerville, who seeks relaxation of the 48-hour rule in the May 12th mayoral election because Essex County did not receive local ballots on time.
“We are preparing to take office on July 1,” said Guillermo Artiles, who represents Mayor-elect Spiller, decrying the attempt by Baskerville to seek an injunction at this time.
“We saw robust turnout, which would suggest there was no voter suppression,” the attorney added.
