Voting machine glitches a possibility tomorrow in Jersey City and Hoboken.

Johnny doesn't know the ins and outs of the entire voting system here in Jersey City and the way some schematics in voting for office make him feel like the old Saturday Night Live character 'Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer': "Your ways of selecting elected officials and offices are strange and different to me" but this one may have everyone goofed up tomorrow. It appears that the voting machines can't correctly decipher how many voters have voted for at least one at-large council candidate and can skew the results to make it look like they can avoid run offs.

The particulars on this are here, but Johnny will be voting in New Jersey tomorrow for the first time. He'll make his first vote for mayor and city council in his new home. He's very political so this will be an enjoyable thing.
