Judge block ballot drop boxes in Gloucester County
A Superior Court Judge has blocked Gloucester County from installing secure ballot drop boxes for the general election until she holds a hearing on Monday after Republicans complained that only Democratic election officials decided the locations.
The Gloucester County Board of Elections was ordered to reconvene to determine drop box and polling place locations.
But Judge Mary Beth Kramer stopped short of ordering the county clerk to halt the printing of public notices announcing the drop box locations.
The two Republican commissioners, Carmine DiNovi, Jr. and David Ferrucci, said in affidavits that they were never consulted.
Jacci Vigilante, the Gloucester County GOP chair, alleged that the locations were picked to maximize Democratic turnout.
